4. What would Marshall have to do to get an at-large berth? First off, Dan D’Antoni is about as loose as they come. He is clearly enjoying this second act as a head coach. Jon Elmore had a memory maker in the first round upset of Wichita State. The Thundering Herd enter Conference USA as a favorite with Western Kentucky (although Middle Tennessee State can never be dismissed). The game to keep an eye on is Nov. 23 when Marshall is at Maryland. The Thundering Herd could make a massive statement for themselves early in the season. Getting high-profile, non-conference games was extremely tough for Marshall. They picked two others at the end of December at Texas A&M and at Virginia. If Marshall were to go 2-1 on these road games, an at-large berth could be within reach.
