    Millersville is the surprise guest as they were around .500 a couple weeks ago. IUP should win pretty comfortably.

    The other game at the KCAC today is West Chester at Edinboro. It should be an all West final tomorrow. WCU is 23-4. Their losses came to IUP, Glenville, Seton Hill and Gannon. Edinboro is likely a heavy favorite today.

    Tickets are cheaper today than they were Wednesday ... $10 for adults and $5 for kids.
    Should be blowout Saturday in the women's tournament. Sunday's IUP / Boro final should be terrific, though. WCU's record shows how abysmal the East is. Seton Hill would have likely win the East and Gannon would have contended for first place. Neither of those teams can touch IUP or Boro.

    Projected:
    1) WL
    2) VSU
    3) ESU
    4) WJU
    5) Ship
    6) West Chester
    7) IUP
    8) CIAA winner

    No way around 1 PSAC match up...

    ESU wins this weekend I think they jump VSU and get the 2 seed.

    But with this alleged attempt to avoid conference matches in Round 1 .... We'll see.

    I think you're right but now more than ever both East teams need to win. If this plays out, Ship is the one team that scares the **** out of me. Thy can't match up with Sleva.

    The path is still alive but a little different.

    IUP needs:

    Ship win
    ESU win
    WJU or WL to beat Concord.

    Those events happen IUP should get the 7 seed.

    We'll see if VSU gets the 2 seed after losing tonight. Probably.

    Re: Iup basketball

    Based on tonight, the following is the ray of hope IUP still has of playing another game:

    PSAC-wise:
    IUP started the day No. 6 in regional ranking. Kutztown started No. 8. Both lost tonight.

    Gannon absolutely needs to lose on Saturday. If the Knights make it to Sunday, they likely pass IUP and Kutztown for an at-large. If GU wins Sunday, IUP season ends. To be safe, both West teams need knocked out Saturday. That gives GU a 9th loss. An all-east final is irrelevent to IUP at this point and the best-case scenario.

    MEC-wise:
    Fairmont State started the day at No. 9. If they win the MEC Tournament ... IUP is done. If FSU has a big run ... could still knock Joe out. IUP does have the head-to-head. Best case scenario from IUP perspective is either West Liberty or Wheeling Jesuit wins this weekend. A Cinderella wins and Joe season over.

    CIAA-wise:
    Virginia State has to win the CIAA Tournament. A Cinderella down there would wreck complete havoc for a couple teams.


    The good news: Glover suspension is served and over. The West teams are capable of winning but likely both underdogs on Saturday. Odds are pretty good either WL or WJ wins the MEC. I also like VA State's odds of winning the CIAA.

    The bad news: That's using the word 'if' an awful lot.

    Bottom line: They aren't done but they are certainly in intentsive care ... need some help. Best-case is they make it as a 7 or 8 seed.

    Who'd have ever thought ... IUP is cheering for Dustin Sleva, West Liberty and Virginia State all in the same weekend.

    Didn't look like a very big crowd tonite from what I saw via the web. I see they didn't list attendance in the box score as far as I could see.

    So who's in for the women's tourney Sat. IUP, Boro, West Chest, and Millersville? Sound right?

    I like when the PSAC tourney was held on Friday and Saturday night.

    Are the IUP men done for the season?

    Coming from the Erie Times that hadn't covered anything about the local college basketball scene until the Liggins article came out. The Erie Times blows! Those writers do nothing but write about Cathedral Prep or the next "star" high school athlete. They do that to try to make a name for themselves. That's not just the Erie Times, that's all the sports media in Erie.

    Great point. I forgot about the Cal/Boro game. That's a huge one.

    I said I wasn't going on Saturday ... of course I lied. Thick and thin, right.

    Hopefully it's not an indication of attendance tonight but there are a TON of season tickets that weren't renewed for this evening. Obviously the events from Seton Hill likely contributed.

    Season ticket holders had until 5:30 p.m. Monday night to buy their seats and then they became available to the public.

    One item that won't help matters is Indiana High School has its second-round playoff game tonight at Fox Chapel High School. IHS draws decent and has a nice following for a high school.

    After all the excitement at the Edinboro game the other night I could see them bringing some extra fans ... but that's a long haul home on a weeknight.
