Marshall breezed through the Chicago Orr Regional, winning their two games by a combined score of 188-52. They also cruised through the River Forest Sectional and the Loyola University Super-Sectional, giving them a berth in the Final Four at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University.
