A little lost in the shadows of a big PSAC football weekend is a really good weekend of crossover games.
The best games:
Saturday (really strong slate of games)
West Chester (4-0) at Gannon (0-1): The new-look GU looked kind of like the old-look GU in its only game. Undefeated WCU visiting the Hammermill likely isn't a good cure.
Shippensburg (4-1) at Slippery Rock (2-2): SRU has at least four games to go before Micah Till returns. This would be a huge win if they can get it -- but it will be difficult.
Shepherd (3-1) at Edinboro (3-0): The Rams have been hot ever since a rough opening night. Edinboro has won two straight tight games. This should be a good one.
East Stroudsburg (3-1) at UPJ (3-1): UPJ finally put it all together in its last outing -- drubbing a solid Ohio Dominican. It's hard to win in Johnstown as the home team shoots incredibly well up there. ESU's press needs to frustrate UPJ's guards. UPJ will have a tremendous edge under the basket.
Millersville (3-1) at Mercyhurst (2-1): The Marauders can ball. The Lakers suffocate teams. Something has to give one way or the other.
Bloomsburg (2-2) at IUP (3-0): The Huskies have some legit size which should test the more-athletic IUP.
Sunday
Shippensburg at Edinboro: Both coming off tough games 24 hours earlier.
Shepherd at Mercyhurst: Rams get introduced to the Triangle and Two. Enjoy.
Kutztown at UPJ: In the event Moe Williams ever returns, Kutztown could be pretty strong. They are dying without him.
East Stroudsburg at IUP: The D2 Showcase Game. Enough said.

When Gannon was in the GLIAC, road trips were always Thursday / Saturday. but that league was far more sprawling than the PSAC. It was a luxury for teams to stay in Erie for two nights on the Gannon / Mercy road trip.

Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostI just don't recall them being on consecutive days. I understand drive out to play East Stroudsburg on Thursday then play Bloomsburg on Saturday afternoon and back after that game.
ESU, for example, is playing UPJ and IUP back-to-back days. That's a tough draw.
A couple years ago we had Kutztown and Shippensburg and the year prior WCU and ESU.
I know they are young kids and their bodies recover quickly but it's still a lot. The Sunday games almost always tend to be sloppy (and draw a crappy gate "competing" against the NFL).
