Disappointing loss. Path to NCAAT just got narrowed. Using PEARatings...
Simulator, to definitely be in the tournament, we would have to win out including a sweep of Clemson which seems like a tall task. If you simulate with a 2-1 series win against Clemson, it shows us with a #45 rating and they are projecting the bubble to be #44 so I think there is still an outside shot at getting in going 2-1 against Clemson but certainly not a guarantee.

That is so fundamentally wrong. Better to not play, than to win.

Agree, Marshall is a potential loss with preserving arms for Clemson. **
