Projection: need to automatically qualify

Marshall’s resume presents several glaring weaknesses that hinder their chances of making the NCAA tournament without an automatic bid. While the team has secured victories against lower-tier opponents like Bellarmine and Southern Indiana, their inability to consistently compete against quality teams is concerning, as evident in their losses to Purdue and Toledo. Additionally, their mixed results within the Sun Belt, highlighted by close defeats against Arkansas State and Southern Miss, suggest a struggle to find cohesion. The team's defensive performance, particularly the poor showings against Southern Alabama and Southern Miss, raises red flags about their ability to stop high-scoring offenses. To turn things around, their upcoming matchups against stronger conference opponents will be crucial; capturing those wins is essential for shifting perceptions and enhancing their tournament prospects.
