My prediction, which I hope is wrong given it's year 7, is a 9-9 conference record.

I’m also thinking .500. That’s what we’ve shown so far.

My range would be 8-10 to 10-8, so I'm around the .500 mark myself. But I also think another stinker like 6-12 is entirely possible given Whit's history of Jan and Feb swoons.

I am hoping for 10-8 but also think 6-12 is just as likely. Any game we hit under 33% on 3s we will have a hard time winning.

The opening schedule is difficult even with 2 home games. Quite possible they lose the first three to Toledo, Buffalo, and Akron (away) and the season spirals into 6-12 or even 5-13.

Want to say 10-8, but I think we start slow in first three games. More likely 9-9

I'm going over .500, just because I was somewhat encouraged by the Ga. Tech and Washington games. I think in general they've played a little better recently and the MAC doesn't have any world beaters. Plenty of bad defensive teams, which should mask our offensive problems. But we have a great tendency to play to the level of our competition so you never really know.

So most seem to think we will be within a couple games of 500 either way.. Is that enough to avoid a major hot ass for whitford?

The 50 year winning % for a Ball State basketball coach is .524 (Getchell thru today) 792-720 That pesky 13 year period ending in 2000 where we won .677 of our games skews the more realistic data.So, Whitford performing at around 50% would seem statistically satisfactory for a school of historical mediocrity.
