PSAC WEST

No, you have that all wrong! We come to this board through thick and thin since it was created. We don't go MIA during the bad times like all of you! Gannon fans were nothing but crickets towards the end of Reilly and Jefferson eras and now that they are winning again, here you are.

I didn't discover this site until just a few years ago and have posted regularly, even during the 3-23 season.

I don't think that will be taken into consideration. They'll look at stats and record. Merrero is "carrying" a below 500 team. Prosser is 3rd leading scorer on the top team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Merrero gets it, but it'll be close either way.

There's an eye test too. Coaches watch plenty of film, and see these guys twice a year. It's not just based on stats, and to think that way is very short-sighted...

Why shouldn't he? Your team does well, you let people know.

Someone is getting cocky because the Boro is winning a few games this year.

Look at the two teams and their styles and players they are surrounded by. It's not even close that Merraro is the rookie of the year! He's carrying his team, Prosser is not and doesn't have to.

It's been a while since the Boro has been decent. Crap athletic fundraising and a dead fan culture don't help. Doesn't help that when I was a student Boro was the class of the PSAC West. Those Greg Walkavich and Gary Edwards games were great theater. I do miss those days.

Edge to Prosser for starting on a team that will win the West??? Does that influence the post-season award voting? Don't know.

I believe the coaches vote on it. If I'm a coach I vote Merraro. He sticks out on the IUP team, Prosser does not! It's easy to average the numbers Prosser does in the style Gannon uses. Gannon averages over 90 points a game vs 70 for IUP. Merraro's numbers are more significant.

On paper, though, it is close.. very close lol

Merrero - 32.6 mpg, 13.9ppg (306/22), 4.1rpg, 100-56 A-TO, 0 blocks, 29 steals, 43.8% FG, 30.5% 3FG, 76.7% FT
Prosser - 28.7 mpg, 13.9ppg (333/24), 5.8rpg, 96-52 A-TO, 5 blocks, 44 steals, 46.9% FG, 40.9% 3FG, 81.4% FT

Boro smacked the Pitt Outlet Store. 20+ margin in both games.

Good win for the men.

The women were expected to do that. UPJ is, well, not having a good year on the women's side.

Kymani Merrero is the freshman of the year and it's not even close!

Fortunately, for Gannon, IUP shot themselves in the foot with sloppy play early in 2nd half and GU finally hit some big shots to put it out of reach. Unfortunately, GU still looks like a shell of itself. Bazzoli did 5 man line changes for most of the game, but still had 2 shot clock violations called and many other possessions shots were taken under 5 seconds.

Good news is that GU got a solid performance from most everyone that played. Whether offensively or defensively or both. I fully did not expect this result at all.

Are there any other high performing freshmen in the PSAC or is Prosser a runaway for Freshman of the Year? Even though he only had 5 pts, had 19 rebounds and was just a nuisance on defense and a spark plug on offense. Hoping this kid stays all 4 years.

Anyone know what's up with Maceo Austin? I noticed he and Herster DNP against Cal today. Herster played their last game, but has missed several single games this season and Austin hasn't played since Jan 8.
