Although many including me, read that as just another slam on BKoch, that's a valid point. I do find the losses to St. John's and Rutgers more disturbing than Marshall, and those aren't mentioned often.
The "tournament resume" graphic always shown during the games always just says Pres and Marshall, but never SJU and RU, under the "bad losses category.

Marshall is on the doorstep of being in the Top 50 of the RPI. Bad loss? More like bad info.

Only the lost to Blue Hose is a bad loss. (Parker was out for that game too) Watch the way Rutgers plays at the RAC, watch St. John's gets hot and springs an upset against a better team. (WVU, UC, UCLA). Heck even Louisville needed overtime against DePaul and got hammered by Providence. A bad loss is almost never a conference loss in the Big East or other power conferences.
Marshall and Xavier are playing for the postseason right now.
Who you beat is much more important than who you lose to.

As Jay Bilas says, all the bubble teams prove they can lose to anyone, it is about who they can beat.
