Lipscomb is the favorite to win the conference on the men's side, with us, probably unsurprisingly, picked to finish last. This is from the "Mid-Major Madness" site, but these rankings are the same as the media's poll.

Obviously we have an insanely difficult schedule, so I'm sure the final record won't be that impressive. But I am cautiously optimistic that Coach Pujol has been able to go out and find some guys that can really play. I think the schedule will be a meat grinder but may toughen us up more than some of the other teams in our conference. Who knows, playing at places like Gonzaga and Pittsburgh in November/December might give us the confidence to win a couple of games we shouldn't in January and February.
We have too many unknowns for me to make a prediction myself, but I would be happy if we can at least finish higher than 9th in the conference.
Funny note from that article: they say we have "a new coach and impressive facilities". I mean, I think the renovations to Flowers Hall will be a huge improvement from before, but somehow I doubt the writer of that article has seen them.
