What an awesome problem to have! Sincere congratulations to IUP for capturing both #1 seeds and for working out scheduling so that they both get to play at home/host.

I don't think they would go to a new site if 1 & 2 lose, would they? When Wheeling lost to Mercy in the first round a few years ago, they still had to play gracious host to the rest of the tournament. I would guess that IUP would be hosting the regional final even if it's a Ship vs. Charleston game.

When the press release says "highest remaining seed" will host the final, I read that to mean the highest remaining seed of the two host sites. So, in the scenario you present where both IUP & WLU lose, I suspect they would just use IUP as the host for the final. But I could be totally wrong.

Awhile back, I have no idea which thread it was in, but Inkblot detailed a split regional scenario that played out last year and both the of the top 2 seeds were eliminated before the final and the championship game was held on the home floor of the the higher seeded team that was actually playing in the game. So I do believe they will move the championship game to an entirely different location if the top 2 seeds are knocked out.

I'd assume IUP will issue some information today. This is a fairly odd situation. The IUP men and women are both playing Friday. I'm assuming the two ladies' games will be at 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and then the two men's games will be 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Sounds like a 'sick day' to me.

Games are Friday / Saturday/ Tuesday for both split regionals. Gives some travel time and possibly some time for a lower seed to prepare to host final if both 1 and 2 seeds lose. I

IUP Twitter says the men's game is Friday. That's odd. Must be new this year.

Gannon women (2 seed) and Mercyhurst men (6 seed) get the advantage of staying home in Erie.

editing myself. Gannon women and West Liberty men get to host the 2/7 and 3/6 matchups.

Well, if we see Ship again it will be on our turf. Two games against them in Heiges was enough.

Can't say enough about Shawndale Jones. For the 'sixth man' to get PSAC Tournament MVP says a lot. There was no answer for him this weekend. If you wanna sellout on Malik and Armoni ... Shawndale will kill you. Off the boxscore is the fact he had to go down low and bang with Ethan and Chucky in (ticky tack) foul trouble.

The officiating unfortunately changed the whole game. Refs wanna be the damn show.

I actually thought Benton and Ulrich did fine today. Consider Ulrich hasn't played in like 6 games .... he went in there and banged. He gets called for breathing. He's a bit of a 'goon' out there. People feel it when he fouls them. Incredibly strong dude. Those two had to play. No choice. And, IUP was able to hold the lead while they were in the game. Shawn got a couple nice boards. He is a hack, though. Lol.

Chucky and Carlos Carter both had to sit a ton. Pretty heated game.

There were some nickel-dime fouls, but Ulrich could have fouled out twice. He went in there and banged all right. Jones did have an amazing weekend.

Okay, so both the IUP men and women get a watered down version of hosting the regions with only four teams at each of their tourneys. Now how exactly does this work with the teams seemingly playing on the same days according to the schedule that I saw? Does one team get shoved into the Field House? I can't see how they can play all the games at the KCAC.

And the men get the top seed as well. Congrats.

Perhaps a split region with the #2 seeds hosting some first round games?
