I see us going 7-3. That will make us 19-12. Should win one or two tournament games which should get us to twenty wins. that’s best case.

We can only hope, but I doubt the projection by judging our recent road record.

Not sure David's prediction is that far off. C'mon guys, we play four games against 3 teams with a total of 6 conference wins. That's four gimmes.
Historically (at least during the Whit era), this is the easy Western Conference portion of the season where build hope before crashing in the tournament.

That's why I am finding it extremely hard to get excited about this team or this season. The MAC is so bad. Beating some of these bad teams by 10 or so points just isn't exciting.

One thing we can say with a fair amount of certainty. If we don't win the Conf. Tourney, we aren't going anywhere other than the CIT or CBI. I pray our AD doesn't spend the cash to do that, if it comes to that.
As far as the last 10 games, thus far we are 4-0 at home and 1-3 on the road. Road losses can start to mentally wear on a team with young guards. With road games at Kent, at Buffalo, at Toledo and at NIU...hell even WMU is 7-3 at home, who knows how we will show up. All I know is so far we've been shaky on the road. The BG & NIU games at home are also potentially scary. Gotta consider at least one of these may be a loss. I'm gonna say we go 5-5, finish 10-8 in the league, 17-13 overall and host a first-round game which we win.

Given the budget situation I can’t see us paying to play postseason.

Big question is does Walton play again? If he returns & we can get 15 to 20 minutes a game playing same as earlier this yr I can see a shot at 7 of the 10. Without him hard to see more than 4- H-EMU,WMU & away WMU & Tol. Toledo in my opinion is now DOA do to no depth. They have nobody after the starters & will look worse the further they go. Buffalo,NIU & CMU we will have a much better shot with Walton.

Teague again wins Mac West player of the week. 5th time this year. No other Cardinal has accomplished this feat.

Teague is in the HOF!
I doubt KJ plays again this season.
Everyone should go back and look at their pre season predictions.....mine was 11-7 and win the West I believe. I believe there is a fair chance we go 12-6 and win the West!

False enthusiasm Kid!! This far into Whit's education of his complicated motion offense we should be looking to be in the hunt for a MAC Championship. But I see some of the great unwashed predicting a win or two in the tournament. Me thinks it is time for the torch to be passed.

I still believe we will be in the hunt in Cleveland...I will say that missing KJ certainly doesn't help to which almost all would agree.
