Talk about playing a bunch of nobodies will ya ? Do any of the following teams ring a bell ? - Jackson State, North Carolina Central, West Virginia Wesleyan, Eastern Kentucky........I could go on. The fact is that Marshall played only two teams all year that made either the NCAA tourney or the NIT, and those were Middle Tennessee and Cincinnatti.
In the meantime WVU played NCAA tournament teams 1 seed Kansas twice, 3 seed Baylor twice, 5 seeds Virginia once and Iowa State 3 times, 10 seed Oklahoma State twice, 11 seed Kansas State three times, 15 seed Northern Kentucky, 16 seed Mt. Saint Mary's. Along with NIT teams 2 seed Illinois and 4 seed TCU.
Still want to compare schedules ?
