PSAC WEST

[Ship69]

Carmichael got swallowed against IUP.

Granted, that was intentional. They in turn let the 7'1" player have free reign from outside. They did that same 'doink' philosophy to Ship last year. Difference was the Boro big hit some treys. The Ship guy last year couldn't hit the side of a barn but kept chucking all night.

Boro has a scrappy team. They have zero depth behind those first 6 guys, however. Even one more rotation-worthy guy would be huge.

They were in the IUP game for the first 32 minutes but then just physically hit a wall.

Jennings is a good guy and a good coach.

One of several reasons why the "Ship guy" didn't finish the season with Ship last year.

The big Indian dude from Edinboro wasn't a stiff, although he probably got away with at least three travels that weren't called when they played Ship. The Euro step apparently extends to Africa and Asia these days. Gotta wonder how many kids from India, South Sudan, and the Congo grow up thinking they'll be playing basketball at PSAC schools one day. Ship recently finished playing three teams that each had a player 6-9 or taller from one of those countries.

I hate big guys outside. I don't care if they can shoot. That height advantage is neutralized outside especially on a team that doesn't rebound much.

I was really surprised by Edinboro's big guy.

He has a nice shot. He can run. He plays with a mean streak.

However, he just cannot effectively play the amount of minutes he's being forced to play. He was physically exhausted the last 10 minutes of the IUP game. Joe knew it and they pounced.

Perfect world he'd play 22-24 mpg.

He's a legit 7'1" and I'd guess 260 lbs. He's a big dude.

Edinboro has a really nice starting group. They just have no bench and it's killing them in all these somewhat close losses. They just run out of steam or hit foul trouble.

Boro spanked Seton Hill. I didn't turn on the game until late so I missed what happened. Good win for Jennings after seeing the Cal game slip away and UPJ spank them.

Called it when they signed him, Rowan Carmichael was the steal of the division recruiting season.

No. 3 option on his high school team behind Minnesota DE Anthony Smith and current teammate Jayden Statum as they reached the 5A Eastern semifinals. I've been very surprised that Statum is at the end of the bench.

He lights up IUP every time they play.

Sounds like one heck of a HS team.

Good win for IUP. Gotta say, though, Jeremy Thomas is a ballplayer.

I can't wait until he's gone lol

Gannon: Off

I'd say they are already dangerous.

They’re about as battle tested as a modern PSAC team can be with that non-con slate. They’ve had a few cupcakes (Bowie and maybe VSU) but they’ve got some real nice wins in Findlay, Lake Erie, Fayetteville, and especially Daemen.

[IUPalum]

Big win for GU tonight over #2 Daemen. ELITE defense from the boys- Bazzoli really can motivate these guys. The level of intensity is unmatched. If Gannon can ever hit shots with consistency they will be dangerous.

They're already dangerous, Gumby! I don't know if they will become a good 3 ball team. Bazzoli recruits a different type of player than West Liberty does. Attacking is the M-O of this Gannon team.

[Sec10-A-14]

GU was off on 3 PTrs only 5 of 25 so they drove the inside. Intense up & down the court. Daemen wore down after about the 30min mark.
Nice att 1453.
IUP game drew 1281.
