Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
On tap tonight is D&E. Traditionally, D&E is not much of a challenge for the Toppers but the Senators did take Cal to OT before falling to them.
I see D&E hanging close for the first half but fading down the stretch to lose by 25 in what will amount to a scrimmage for the Toppers.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
haha ... I actually heard Fairmont shot fairly well the other day.
You should be at the KCAC tonight. Joe may be a home dog in Vegas ... that's pretty rare.

Some nice games tonight. Findlay at Fairmont ... Bowie at Indiana.
Also tonight is the night I wish I could watch those two games on "ESPN D2" (a man can wish, right). There's enough other iterations of ESPN out there, they probably just haven't figured out a way to monetize D2 games yet...
Rumor was that Findlay took it to WL in a scrimmage, so will be interesting to see their result vs. everyone's favorite poor shooting team, Fairmont...

The Rams struggled with the pace, as many teams do early in the season, and were in foul trouble most of the night but they played hard and made some shots. Would not be surprised to see them back in the regional. Good team and good coach.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Dan Monteroso is just silly! Starts a Friday night basketball game and scores 12 points in limited minutes (15)...Turns around and starts for the football team on Saturday at noon and leads the team with 8 receptions for 145 yards (and 2 TDs)...Then four hours later starts for the basketball team again and plays 23 minutes while scoring 16 points! I bet "Dynamite" Dan slept soundly last night! Anyone see the wrestling team results from yesterday? Wouldn't surprise me to see his name in the winners column at 195!
If this is what passes for "shaking off the rust" for him, future opponents should take note!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Yup, as I predicted in my earlier post, a 25 point plus win by WestLib....Let me first start off by saying I was really impressed with West Chester and their ability to put up some offense tonight, they are much further ahead of last years team who wanted to play in the 60 or 70's. I think West Chester will be a major factor in the PSAC. Now with that being said, West Liberty has added something to the mix which might bold well when they play the Wheeling Jesuit's and Fairmount State's of the world... "Athleticism". Monteroso is better than I thought, Guillozet is savy and could be West Lib's next 2,000 point scorer, and Meininger has come out of nowhere and looked like he could be the third scorer that WL needed. Earlier observation is that last years team is betting at shooting (Bonifant ofcourse), but this team is more athletic and plays harder. To add to that Cheyney gave Notre Dame all it can handle today and we know how that turned out yesterday for Cheyney against WLib. It's going to be a long season but if your going to beat West Liberty this year it's not going to be just because they missed their shots.

Looks like it's going to be a down year for the lady toppers after having to replace a lot of talent losing by 16 to mercy and 42 to California

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
Griffin reminds me of a Lamberti Indy mix player that can dunk, maybe it's just the Aussie thing with Indy but he's that type of player I was impressed with him didn't expect him to be that good. Smith looked a tad slow maybe just from injury but shot well. I tell you what we might lack size but I haven't seen a WL team hustle and play defense this well in the 3 years I've been here. Monteroso was a nice surprise too. Will be interesting to see if they can play this hard every game and not get too worn out the hustle was insane

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball
I went to the game tonight and let me first say that I know Cheyney is in a difficult situation but WLib made them look like a mid D3 squad. Dennis is a D1 guard that can go off for 25 plus a night if called upon, Hoehn can go for 30 on any night, Zac is going to cause mismatch problems all night for the opposing teams big man as long as he stays out of foul trouble. Clay Guillozet is better than advertised, Brady Arnold got better. My last observation is that this kid from Marist (Griffin), is waaaay better than I thought, this kid looks the part of a not so great D1 player coming down to a great D2 program and fits in perfect. Sorry West Chester and the possibly of West Liberty getting a test that we want to see, this just ain't going to happen....I would take a West Lib line of -25 against WC tomorrow right now and feel confident.
