PSAC WEST

[Ship69]

That is a dumpster fire of a basketball program, too.

In these days of the transfer portal, that can change quickly. We obviously had a supreme example of that in the PSAC West this year.

I don't know about too far. Fairmont State is like 10 minutes directly south of Morgantown. For instance, Fairmont State is closer to IUP than Gannon is (and is even closer for Seton Hill and Cal).

But, I agree, Frostburg State seems to have all the buzz.

Geography aside... I actually would prefer Charleston out of the MEC compared to Fairmont.

That said, I agree that Frostburg has buzz and makes sense. I would also love to see the PSAC kick the tires on West Liberty. I bet they would be interested, but who knows...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Too far and too inconvenient. West Liberty is a little better because they're right off I-70. I'm all in on Frostburg.

Rumors all point to Frostburg State.

So I wonder if PSAC intends to invite a team to take Hurst spot or if they'll move East team back to West. Lock Haven used to be in the West. LH and Mansfield are about the same distance in relation to Erie (using that for distance since Gannon/Edinboro are the furthest West Schools)

off topic but somewhat on topic.. i didn't realize LeMoyne went D1?

They went up a year or two ago. The NEC is largely becoming a conference if recent D2 schools.

I've been to their gym. IUP played a home and home with them several years back. It is smaller than Mercyhurst's venue.

Basketball?

Yes

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Basketball?

The probationary period is now (4) years - meaning no postseason during that time. Not exactly a recruiting advantage.

[IUPalum]

I’m betting Hurst wins the NEC at least once during their probationary period.

Wonder if Mercyhurst will stay play Gannon once a year in hoops. I kind of doubt it.

We'll know soon enough.
