On schedule Tom responds with 25 points in the second quarter and is up 5 at the half.

Tom's down 8 after one quarter. Look terrible. I don't get how this team is so awful in the first quarter. All season. It's just baffling.
They'll win this one but this opening quarter thing is tiresome.

Clarion uses Stretch Internet. Women's game freezing already. Expect yet another awful web feed tonight.
Why can't they fox fix this crap already? Year after year.

It's an NCAA thing (not unique to the PSAC). In D1 the same thing is happening. The mid-majors are essentially turning in to a feeder system. Locally, Robert Morris has been gutted several times.

Maybe I misstated my question. If the schools that are losing players push to change the rules to discourage transfers, say a one season suspension, would the better schools put up resistance ?

The closest game IUP has had against Clarion in the past decade came on Wednesday night, Feb. 10, 2016.
IUP won, 69-68, after trailing by 8 points at halftime.
Clarion's football and wrestling teams all sat court-side and made it a very tough environment. They announced a crowd of 701 that night but it was well over 1,300. Clarion didn't scan tickets for students. If anybody can remember the old days inside Tippin, it can be one of the loudest gyms around when crowded. It has extremely low ceilings and terrible acoustics.
Add to it, Dante Lombardi and Daddy Ugbede were in serious foul trouble much of the game. Believe it or not (sarcasm) Joe had a short bench to start so having two guys out really hurt. Making matters worse, Jacobo Diaz dressed but due to injury hobbled through just 11 unproductive minutes before he was sat down for the night. Walk-on C.J. Rudisill had to take his place. Recall, Devon Cottrell was also out.
The Golden Eagles hit some miraculous shots in the second half. In fact, Clarion missed a FT with 2 seconds left that would have tied the game. Had the game gone to OT, Joe may have played 4 guys -- by default. On the missed FT, IUP's Tevin Hanner rebounded it and was instantly fouled. No time ran. Hanner than missed both FTs, giving Clarion one more shot. A long heave just missed -- and, I mean, just missed.
On the night, IUP shot a terrible 19-30 from the FT line. Brandon Norfleet led all scorers with 22 points. IUP trailed almost the whole way up until the final minutes.
The part of the trip I'll never forget -- aside from the thrilling ending -- was the ride home. All day the forecast for Clarion was calling for just flurries. As anybody who spends time up in the mountains near Clarion knows, that can change real quick. And, naturally, it did. I remember walking out of Tippin Gym and thinking WTF. It was snowing. Hard. Not a good place to be in a fluke snow storm. My ride home that night took well over 3 hours -- and would normally take just over 60 minutes.

I doubt it. They are the beneficiary.

Would those stronger teams have the clout to kill any thoughts of reinstituting the old rules limiting transferring within the conference ?
