Projection: need to automatically qualify
Marshall's season showcases a squad that has encountered its fair share of struggles, notably in performing against top-tier competition. The Thundering Herd's defeats to Kentucky and James Madison, two squads with solid reputations, highlight the difficulties they've faced stepping up in class. The close loss to Toledo also signals a missed opportunity to nab a quality win. However, Marshall did manage to find some success against respectable rivals with victories against UNC Greensboro and Louisiana. Their inconsistency, particularly on the defensive end, is illustrated by the trouble they've had in back-to-back games against Appalachian State and the split results with Georgia State and James Madison. To bolster their case for the tournament, the Herd's path is clear: they must capture their conference title to secure an automatic bid, as their current resume is unlikely to impress the selection committee enough for an at-large berth.
