PSAC WEST

[Fightingscot82]

One of my favorite college memories was in grad school when Edinboro won the PSAC and made the national tournament but barely missed hosting the regional. So they played IUP in the first round - at tiny Pfeiffer College in Meisenheimer, NC.

It was Spring Break that week at Edinboro and we were bored, so my best friend borrowed an SGA van and with maybe $50 each to our names we drove down to North Carolina, made it in time for the national anthem, watched Edinboro lose a heartbreaker in OT, took a power nap in the car, and drove back to Edinboro through a snowstorm in West Virginia. Round trip 26 hours.

A lot of teams need a Gannon win today ... to stay alive.

Shepherd winning (auto bid) will cause chaos.

That said, the Rams may have passed some of those teams anyway by this point.

I can't even remember the last time a PSAC champ got the auto-bid (that wasn't already a lock).

Perhaps Mercyhurst in 2016? I wasn't following D2 at the time, but it appears they won the auto bid and got the 8 seed.

Did a little research.....maybe East Stroudsburg in 2012 will league record of 13-9 and overall 20-12. Pretty sure the 2001 Clarion team with a 7-5 league record and overall at 19-10 was on the bubble. To your point, it seems to have been a long time ago. (Note: Just went by the PSAC website and have no idea what the regional strength was in those particular years.)

Cal was up 9 at half and lost by 10.

Huge 19 point swing in final 20 mins.

Seemed like the zebra crew stuck it to Danny a bit in the second half.

Yeah it definitely seemed like home cooking

Fair point.........just my personal feelings on the Horizon League. If Josh is happy with his move, then that's all that matters and I wish him only the best.

Also think though.. if RMU gets to tourney.. Omajafo gets his name in there. That's what he's looking for.

[bballfan03]

Concerning Omajofo's move to Division One, it was a "move up" in name only. Not sure it's not better to be a big fish in a small pond as being the #4 scorer at RMU isn't that impressive.

4th leading scorers is huge for him. I didnt see him getting any PT at D1.

Now I know you are you are full of ****. Fee's team was way deeper than this one. This convo is now over!

Yes you are 100% correct he had 14 active players.. played 10 consistently and had 4 bench scrubs. Bazzolli has 10 active. 9 play consistently and 1 bench scrub. You literally supported my statement

Keep in mind Bobby Mo is a stepping stone. He can portal it again in a couple weeks. He may get a bigger bite.

Several have left there and landed in more prestigious leagues.

RMU is 24-8 and was the regular season champion in the Horizon…

Goodrick came from D1 in which he didn't fair too well. He doesn't have the inside presence to really be a D1 center. I think this system is his best fit since it allows him to move around rather than just post up. I could see him possibly going to a higher D2 school, but not D1 again.

Shelton I could see following in Omajafos foot steps. Speaking of which, Omajafo definitely surprised the hell outta me. 4th leading scorer for RMU. Started all but one game. Played the 3rd most minutes.

Gannon starts winning and you rise from the dead. You are the pure definition of a fair weather fan!

Do you personally know this guy? Could we simply have a mature conversation about basketball in the PSAC without taking personal shots at other posters. This is really getting old.

[IUPalum]

you and the others hate him because you can't beat Great Gannon ( ref your F-U ) = IUPoop
