StatSeed is StatSheet's postseason projections for all of Division I, including the NCAA Tournament, National Invitation Tournament (NIT), College Basketball Invitational (CBI), and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Read more about how StatSeed is calculated.

StatSheet projects Marshall to make the NIT as a five seed. The Thundering Herd are ranked #67 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 14-10 overall record and a 5-5 record in the C-USA.

Over the last four games, Marshall registered a win against Tulane but also suffered losses to RPI #61 UCF and RPI #16 Memphis and a bad loss to RPI #103 Tulsa.

Marshall is not that good against top competition, with a 4-8 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes an 0-5 record against the RPI Top 50 and an 0-1 record against AP ranked teams. While the Thundering Herd have no quality wins, they're hampered by two bad losses including RPI #103 Tulsa and RPI #128 UAB.

The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Arkansas (16-8, 4-5 SEC, StatRank #64), New Mexico (19-4, 5-2 Mountain West, StatRank #41), Minnesota (17-7, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #49), and Ole Miss (14-8, 4-4 SEC, StatRank #51).

The first four teams out are Brigham Young (20-6, 8-3 West Coast, StatRank #44), Colorado (16-7, 8-3 Pac 12, StatRank #64), Purdue (15-9, 5-6 Big Ten, StatRank #70), and Texas (15-9, 5-6 Big 12, StatRank #69).

The next four out are Arizona (16-8, 7-4 Pac 12, StatRank #65), Pittsburgh (15-10, 4-8 Big East, StatRank #69), St. Joseph's (PA) (15-10, 5-5 A-10, StatRank #50), and South Dakota State (19-6, 11-2 Summit League, StatRank #59).
