PSAC WEST

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Rock down, 37,-33, to D&E at half.

Odd to play the same team twice in non-conference but nonetheless.

Props to Cal for their win over Gannon. The Knights looked like the ones missing players...

Cal's small lineup was very quick, beating Gannon down the court on numerous occasions. When you're a pressing team that's slower than the team you're trying to press, you're going to be in hot water if they break you. And the Vulcans have some excellent shooters such as McClurg who'll punish you if you give them open looks. Despite their platooning, it was actually Gannon who looked like the more sluggish team at teams.

As others have said, watch out if California ever gets up to full strength.

I'd guess we'll see several Lock Haven 'upsets' this year. On a given night they can be pretty tough. Nice roster.

They weren't all that bad last year. At this point, they certainly would be favored over Ship when we play them. The LH coach is a Ship alum and usually gives his alma mater a tough game. Lock Haven and West Chester prevented East Stroud from winning the East last season.

West Chester, true to form, follows up its upset of Cal with a loss to Lock Haven.

I am still here and never left. Couldn't get into this site last year, despite a few attempts, and haven't had time this year. I still go the the Hammermill / Highmark / Hagerty. Never stopped and never will.

When you average 112 points per game, fans are going to go to your games. I have a few friends who I describe as "general" basketball fans who have gone to one game and gotten hooked on the style and have gone back at least once. It's been a treat to watch the West Liberty system game after game.

Attendance is up and keeps growing - how can it not after a 3-23 season?

I hope all finds you well. Welcome back.

Cal's clearly the best team in the PSAC -- even sans four rotation players. That's just crazy.

Their 60 percent squad decimated Gannon today. Hats off to Danny. He's built an incredible team.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

True as that might be (and I do agree with you), Gannon fans would probably still say they're way ahead of schedule. It's still only Fee's first year, and he hasn't really had time to get "his guys" worked into the system.

Valid. However:

A) I think several of his studs are one-year grad players

B) I think he'll be poached out of there after this year

Having their short lineup might actually have helped them. They have good shooters and broke the press easily. Gannon will win most of its games in a hobbled PSAC this season, but I think they've been exposed to an extent this past week.

Vulcans win by 15 - and it wasn't nearly that close. GU got some junk at the end.

Very impressive showing from a short-handed Cal team.

Vulcans dropped the hammer. Good Lord.
