PSAC WEST

[bballfan03]

If you feel that way, you may also be nervous about today.

Bloomsburg just lost to Caldwell by only (3) points (the team ESU lost to).

The Huskies have also played a tough schedule to date.

Granted, that roaring 1pm workday crowd may take Bloom out of the game early.

Nah I wasn't concerned about Bloomsburg at all. They've got another year or so to go to be a threat.

Looking forward to getting my first in-person look at the infamous Kevin Reynolds today when Point Park visits the Hilltop. PSAC West fans have painted KR in such a legendary light, that I'm interested to get the in-building perspective. Hopefully he hasn't cooled off with age like Joe & Gary apparently have. LOL

Now that you guys have Sancomb in the West (and Stitzel in the East), we need a new Darth Vader here in the MEC. Some of the more competitive coaches in the MEC (like Koenig at Fairmont, or even UC's Osborne before he checked out) are generally too gentlemanly to produce much fireworks. Obviously respectable coaches are generally commendable and overall good for the league. But it certainly is fun (for fans in the building anyway) to have a guy that gets riled up.

KR was here last year and was a shell of his former self, theatrically speaking.

I think the mutiny at SRU taught him he had to cool off if he wanted to stay in the game.

I'm not confident in a GU win Saturday. From watching ESU this season, I'd have to say ESU are the favorites in this game. Plus Gannon is still down players, so that alone would make ESU the favorites... I think Gannon may be happy if they can lost by less than 30 lol

Yes, I am. But I was saying it more in agreement with the IUP guys who were complaining about the PSAC mandating the earlier times on for back-to-back games. This is just another instance. Since the PSAC is going to make money off of vball playoff tickets, they are making Gannon play at 11 and 1, essentially with no crowd lol

I meant the psac commissioner

Friday 1pm tip.

Lol

Good Lord

I'll be interested to see how ESU responds after a tough loss. Having to travel across the state will make it an even tougher test...

Gannon is playing Friday, however, and ESU is not. That should offset the travel item. It should be a good one.

Also on this note though... Friday girls play Bloom at 11am and Guys play Bloom at 1pm because the volleyball team is hosting PSAC final 4 and PSAC mandated their times of 5 and 730p.

Gannon asked PSAC for permission to move this weekends bball games to another day, in the event the volleyball team hosted. And PSAC said no. Didn't even let them ask Bloom or ESU if they had availability to move.

Millersville at California

ESU at Gannon

On this crazy time deal Gannon Men had Davis & Elkins play Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 followed by the ladies who played Daemen @ 7:20. D&E at 4hr 20min makes sense on a Wed eve and Daemen at 1hr 45min. It hurt the attendance.
Only 728 showed up for the opener.
Gannon usually draws about 85-90% locals and the 5PM start it a little difficult for the day shifters.

That's only because the womens game was already scheduled and the guys game was a late add on.

Correct. Our followings aren't like Duke and North Carolina. People aren't leaving work early (or taking time off) to watch a D2 game.
