PSAC WEST

Was there anything said as to why Kent came off bench and only played 13 mins?

What a joke, Ike Herster's punk ass traveled with the team. Suspension my ass!!! .

It wasn't Herster. It was Jordan Martin. He wasn't on bench vs Rock

Big win for ESU today over Ship to give themselves hope for hosting the PSAC tourney. It’s going to be an interesting finish over there.

I don’t attend games featuring Seton Hill very often. I guess I’m more intrigued by the traditional teams. But I went to SRU today and Seton Hill came to play. Plenty of defensive energy in their zone. Offensively they took it to the hoop and generated points with a variety of isolation moves in traffic. Seton Hill is a very overachieving team. Their coach handled himself very well (positive feedback, encouraging, didn’t get caught up with referees, and just coached his guys flawlessly). I don’t know how far they can go but I think they might have the tie breaker right now bs SRU for a home playoff game.

I know I’m a broken record but The Rock appears to have better raw talent but they just aren’t together. Britt was rough again today from three and really can’t control the game. This is the Rock’s 3rd home loss in a row. Today there was actually a bat flying around Morrow Fieldhouse during the game. Maybe it’s haunted.

Seton Hill is good. PG is a punk but a good player. They could pull an upset in the conference tournament.

Tabby should be a LB not a guard.

Thought the guilty party was a freshman guard named Erik Jarecki from New York City. Or am I missing something here?

He'll 'get his' slice of pizza on the way home.

Sounds like a great potential transfer for Gannon:

He was on the GU bench today.

Seton Hill (-5.5) at SRU
Shippensburg at East Stroudsburg (-7.5)

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Two game parlay today:

Seton Hill (-5.5) at SRU
Shippensburg at East Stroudsburg (-7.5)


Gotta get them both (with the spreads) to win.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Not a fantastic lineup on tap tomorrow, but there are a few intriguing games. The main attraction is Shippensburg's visit to East Stroudsburg.


Seton Hill at Slippery Rock - The Rock pulled a game ahead of the Griffins in the West standings. SRU has won two straight while Seton Hill has dropped its past two. The first meeting in Greensburg was tight, with the Giffins holding on to win, 84-77. Morrow Field House is a tricky venue, but Seton Hill's zone should cause just enough problems for the Grffins to escape with another narrow win. SRU has won 10 of the past 11 in the series, but it won't win tomorrow. Vegas says take the road team. Seton Hill -5.5

West Chester at Mansfield - A brutal stretch continues for the Mounties. Mansfield has been blown out in its past three outings. West Chester has won 6 of its past 7 games. Oddly, the first meeting was tight. The Rams won by a slim, 70-68, thriller. Chalk that up to one of WCU's odd nights. Vegas says this one won't be nearly as close. Mansfield is just one game behind Kutztown for the final conference tournament spot, but this is a tall task. WCU -12.5

Bloomsburg at Millersville - In case you missed it, the Marauders are red hot -- winners of 6 straight. They are one of (4) East teams with identical 10-5 conference records. The Huskies gave them a game last month, but Millersville has made some big strides since then. Vegas says Millersville wins comfortably at home. Marauders -12.5

Clarion at Pitt-Johnstown - On paper, this is a mismatch. But, Clarion is a scrappy bunch. The Golden Eagles gave UPJ a tussle in January and now are flying high after Wednesday's upset of California. That's, of course, the positive spin on this game. Round 1 was in Tippin. Playing UPJ in Johnstown is a whole different animal. Clarion put up 95 points on a very depleted, all-guard Vulcan lineup. John Paul Kromka presents quite a different challenge. Vegas says the Mountain Cats win this one -- but, perhaps not by as much as most may think. UPJ -12.5

Gannon at IUP - The No. 1 team in the country, 21-0 and at home, versus a 2-17 team most famous this year for a sideline incident ... easy bet, right? Not so fast. Gambling gets murky when you have to play the lineup guessing game. With Ethan Porterfield -- probably at best -- going to play 8-10 minutes tomorrow (if at all), paired with the return of Gannon sharpshooter Chris Clancy, well, this game gets a lot more interesting. Recall this same Golden Knights team (sans Clancy) gave IUP one of its toughest games this year. Gannon has lost a ton of close games this year and are by no means a pushover. With a trip to Mercyhurst looming Monday night, this has trap game written all over it (much like the first meeting did, too). Vegas says take the hosts, but expect another fairly close, ugly, chippy and physical game. IUP -9.5

California at Edinboro - This one is simple. If Jermaine Hall returns, the Vulcans win. If he's out, the Scots have a real good shot. With an already depleted roster, Hall's status hinges the whole betting line. Vegas says unless you have inside info, take a pass on this one. Official line: Pick 'Em

Shepherd at Lock Haven - The Bald Eagles won a thrilling, 77-74, OT battle in Shepherdstown. If Lock Haven can win down there, they can surely win in their own building. Unless, of course, the Rams have one of their magic days from Trey Land. Vegas says take the home team. Bald Eagles -5.5

Shippensburg at East Stroudsburg - The first meeting was a demolition job. The Warriors won by a whopping 30 points and hung 108 points on the Raiders in Shippensburg. A lot has changed since then. East Stroudsburg hit a funk, and has lost 4 of its past 6 games. The Raiders went the opposite direction -- winners of 7 of their past 8 games. Shippensburg also opened a two-game lead in the East. Tough game to pick. Will the Warriors explode back on to the scene? Will the Raiders get their revenge? Vegas says take the home team, despite their recent struggles. They just may be a bad match-up for Shippensburg with too much firepower. But, it should be entertaining -- and, much closer this time. ESU -7.5

Jermaine Hall didn't play for Cal last night (arguably their best player and only post player).

So, an already-ravaged rotation just got worse.
