Marshall men’s basketball competes in the Conference USA Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament this week at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas. After closing out the regular season with a 76-67 win over then-No. 24 Middle Tennessee, the Herd edged UTSA for the fourth seed and a guaranteed first-round bye into the quarterfinal.

“I might have had a heart attack if we lost that (game) and knew UTSA won their game, but I don’t have to worry about that,” Thundering Herd head coach Dan D’Antoni said.
