Projection: need to automatically qualify

Marshall's resume presents significant challenges for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. Their weak defensive performance this season has left them vulnerable in matchups, as demonstrated in their losses against Purdue and Western Kentucky, where they struggled to keep opponents under control. While they have managed some decent wins, such as the victory over Ohio, this isn't enough to offset their lopsided losses and overall inconsistency. The upcoming tests against teams like Texas State and Troy will be critical; winning these games could bolster their profile, while further losses may deepen the hole they need to climb out of for any hope of tournament selection. Given their current position, an automatic bid through the conference tournament seems to be the most realistic path forward.
