– Marshall's women's basketball team will be the East Division's fifth seed in next week's Conference USA Tournament, the league office announced Saturday.
 
The Thundering Herd (8-10 overall, 7-9 Conference USA) will play Wednesday in first round action against Louisiana Tech (13-9, 8-8), the West Division's fourth seed. The game will be carried on ESPN+ and radio coverage will be provided by WMUL, both locally on 88.1 FM and online on Stream 1.
 
The two teams met in Huntington to start league play on January 1 and 2, with the Lady Techsters grabbing a 61-51 overtime victory before Marshall rebounded with a 61-57 triumph the following day.
 
This will be the first time the two have met in the C-USA Tournament. Tech holds a 5-4 advantage in the all-time series between the two schools.
 
The winner will meet Middle Tennessee (14-7, 12-4) in Thursday's quarterfinal round, a game that will also be played at 3 p.m. ET (2CT). Marshall enters the tournament after gaining a road split with the Blue Raiders on Thursday (72-49 win) and Friday (61-54 loss).
