    There must be something mandated by PSAC office as every women's game is at 3p and men's at 5p on the Friday, and Saturday all are Women's at 1p and men's at 3p. Typically, we'd see teams having some choice, like Dec. 18/19 hosted by West has variance in times. Odd.

    Tomiwa and Bryce Butler each had their best games to date over the weekend

    Tomiwa had 9 points and 8 boards in a win over Morgan State

    Butler had 12 points 7 boards 4 assists in a win over Kent State

    It doesn't do the working folk any favors starting at 5 p.m.

    It likely has something to do with the 3 p.m. start the following day. Perhaps Lock Haven wouldn't play any later? That's two games in 24 hours, which they typically try to avoid.

    You two missed the extra point in all this:

    Not only may SRU break the 1991 drought, but KR's Point Park team may win at IUP in less than two weeks.

    KR is 7-0 and lost to Robert Morris in the final minute (exhibition for PP but a real game for RM). KR never beat IUP in Indiana.

    I watched the PP vs RM game. That's not going to be like some PSU-Altoona game. He has some legit dudes. He'd have a decent team this year in the PSAC -- which is all Joe is.
    I may go to that one. Sounds like an interesting plot.

    I second this. I thought about this exact thing a week ago.

    Not all schedules have been created equal to this point, either.

    Some have played much more difficult non-conference slates than others.

    It will start to wash out this weekend.

    I have no idea, although I think some other games are scheduled for weird times on that date as well. Men's games at Ship are almost always 8 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends. The only thing I can figure is that they're trying to get IUP on the road early for a long ride up to Clinton County and a game with Lock Haven on Saturday. I've certainly no fan of 5 p.m. as it is inconvenient for me and means the game will almost exactly coincide with the dinner hour.

    Maybe due to IUP playing away to Lock Haven at 3pm the following day?

    The nonconference results are leading me to believe that this is not a vintage year for the PSAC. Cal U. and East Stroud seem to be the only teams consistently playing well at this point. That could change, of course, as some of the inexperienced players on many of the teams settle into the D2 groove. I can think of several Ship teams from recent years that would be major contenders to win the league this season. Unfortunately, this year's team doesn't have that kind of firepower at present.

    No. But, from what I've seen of IUP and others I certainly think SRU and Seton Hill will give them battles. We'll see if Clarion wakes up.

    I'd say Joe will also be a dog against Gannon (who hasn't beat IUP in a long time).

    Same with Cal. IUP has a 20-some game winning streak against Cal. That's highly likely to end this season.
