Over five weeks, ESPN.com will reveal the top 50 coaches in college basketball as decided by the ESPN Forecast panel. Today is No. 8: Wichita State's Gregg Marshall. 

Marshall, whose teams have gone to the NCAA tournament 10 of the last 16 seasons, including the last three-straight seasons and the Final Four in the 2012-13 season, has coached unparalleled winning in the men's basketball program at Wichita State. 

Under Marshall, and bolstered by a NCAA-record 35-game win streak in 2013-14, Wichita State is 65-10 the last two years, 92-16 the last three years, 121-24 the last four years and carries a 174-69 overall record in seven seasons in Wichita. 

Marshall won the MVC Coach of the Year Award for the third-straight season, which was a precurser to him winning every National Coach of the Year honor given in 2014. He won the AP, NABC, Sporting News, NBCSports.com, Naismith Awards and Henry Iba-USBWA National Coach of the Year honors.

In 2013-14, Wichita State won an NCAA-record 35-straight games before losing to eventual National Runner-up Kentucky in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. The Shockers' 35-1 record also shattered all of WSU's and the MVC's winning streak records, including Indiana State's 33-game record in 1977. The Shockers won their second Valley regular-season title (18-0) in three seasons and won the MVC Tournament in St. Louis for the first time since the tournament went to a neutral site. The tournament title was the first for WSU since winning it in 1987 on Tulsa's home floor.

The Shockers were ranked in the Top 25 all season, also a first for WSU, and reached the No. 2 spot for the first time since the 1981-82 season. The Shockers' No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament was also a first.

 In 2012-13, a Final Four appearance by the Shockers topped a six-year reconstruction at Wichita State under Marshall. En route, WSU defeated Pittsburgh, Gonzaga, La Salle, and Ohio State before losing to eventual National Champion Louisville in the National Semifinal game in Atlanta. The voters in the USA Today Coaches poll rewarded the Shockers with a final No. 4 ranking, their highest final ranking.

Marshall, the second-winningest basketball coach at Wichita State to Naismith Hall of Fame Coach Ralph Miller, was named the 25th head men's basketball coach at Wichita State on April 14, 2007.

Marshall also carries a 368-154 record in 16 seasons as a head coach.
