PSAC WEST

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The first weekend of crossovers ... the games all start at 5pm on a Friday night. The women play at 3pm.


I get the target audience is 85 year olds. But, seriously, how freaking dumb can this league be?

Apparently playing in front of empty seats and generating no revenue is the goal.

Utterly amazing.

imho if you are playing nova se one has to limit the duration of play before subbing. If starters play too long without a break, they cannot fully recover even after a respite on the bench.
gannon hit the wall around 13 mins left in the game. Some of the sub minutes came after outcome was decided.

I am amazed at the conditioning of nova se.

I fully expected a subpar game against st. Thomas Aquinas due to fatigue. Nova se destroyed them in 2nd half.
they are going to be difficult to beat.

Gannon only had that many near/over 20 mins due to the score. Although he used the platoon, last year Fee primarily played his best 6-7 guys in games that mattered. First half he'd platoon, with 2nd string going about 2-3 mins at a time and then 2nd half he just pieced reserves in as needed.

Hopefully Warfield and Desmond are going to be contributors because they need height on the 2nd line (I'd guess the 6'9 kid would move to 2nd line since it takes him an average of 8 layups to finally convert). Mason and Rocco would likely become bench guys since Mason shouldn't even be on the team and Rocco just looks lost right now.

Maybe limited player but not limited subs.. he played everyone dressed yesterday and had played 11 today.

Not surprised given the short turnaround, limited subs, and pace of game versus nova se.
nova did not sub much also. They could struggle too, for the same reasons.

Gannon getting pounded right now.

Down 24 at the half to Lake Superior State.

This game makes me of the belief Gannon benefitted from the pace of the game yesterday... they are awful today! Can't hit the hoop and can't defend properly as this system requires.

Also, when the 6'9 guy lobs every shot he takes.. not going to be effective very often. LAY IT UP OR SHOOT IT.. these half ass lobs are terrible

How many of those guys actually played for Gannon last season? Apparently they're becoming the new hired guns of the West.

All 3 returning played yesterday, although I'm hoping the one only played because they were missing others.

[Ship69]

Gannon was short-handed, too.

Bad news for the West

Anyone know why they were short handed? Injuries?

[Columbuseer]

Imho gannon looked good for 1st game, they were within 6 pts at 16 min mark of 2nd half. Nova made over 60% from three in 2nd half and wore down gannon at about the 11 min mark. Gannon and Cal look very strong.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Gannon played pretty well considering they lost their HC and were playing the best D2 in the country. Shelton (4) looks a real prospect at both ends of the floor with some deep 3s and good blocks

Opening loss for Gannon as expected, but not as bad as expected.

This game height (and missing shots) was a huge factor. Victor Desmond is another one people gave been raving about and he also never stepped on (6'7 G).

On to Lake State!

[bballfan03]

Anyone know the scoop on Warfield? I had been hearing great things about him and he's at the end of the bench. Seems it'd be odd to redshift a grad transfer
