Congrats to the GU Ladies.

Gannon women win 55-47 despite shooting 3/25 from the field in the second half. Took advantage of a hot start and the Golden Bears rallied from a 12 point deficit to tie but KU never took the lead. Should secure an NCAA bid with the win. Onto a rematch with Cal.

Congrats to the GU Ladies.

The house went 1-1 yesterday. Not good. Time to make some money today.


Millersville at IUP

While this is the second meeting this year, very little is similar. The Marauders came to Indiana in a bit of a funk, fresh of a 32-point loss in Johnstown. IUP was also in a mess -- playing their first game post-Shawndale Jones. IUP was up 11 at halftime and won the game, 81-58.

Fast forward and both teams are hot. Millersville has won 15 of its past 16 games. IUP has won 13 in a row. The Crimson Hawks have won the past 7 meetings in the series.

The teams' makeup is fairly similar. The starters for both log heavy minutes. Big guards. Tough post players.

Marauders' star guard James Sullivan scored 30 of his teams 59 points yesterday -- including hitting 6 of 9 from outside. Outside of Sullivan, Millersville as a whole didn't shoot the ball well yesterday -- finishing 38.9% from the floor. IUP also shot a season-low 33.3%.

Both defenses played superb. Holding Mercyhurst and Shippensburg to just 53 and 44 points is very impressive.

Points will be at a premium again today.

But, as said all week, IUP is favored in their building until it loses. Crimson Hawks win a dog fight. IUP -3

Hats off to Jake Biss on a memorable career. He'll be making some coin overseas this time next year. An ultimate gym rat.

Armani Foster money when it counted. Congrats, IUP. You deserved it.

No shame. Ship is a fantastic team.

Hope you had the under in both 3:30 games.

Oh, if Ship could only shoot today ... but they cannot to this point.

Millersville's strength and height advantage is going to give Mercyhurst trouble. For all the talk about their defense, the Lakers haven't been as strong in that area this year. They've won alot of games because of their shooting and passing. Their guards are extremely skilled.

Millersville should have a big advantage on the glass and around the rim. If Najdawi and Faulkner play well, I think Mercyhurst will be fighting an uphill battle.

Good call.

IUP's gotta be licking their chops. If they can get past Ship, the more favorable matchup awaits.

The Alston camp at Cal is not happy about him not winning POY in the Twitter world.

He certainly had a case. I'd assume it was a close vote by the coaches between him and Armoni.

He did go 0-3 vs IUP. Maybe that was the deciding factor.

To be clear PA went 20 pts, 14 rbds and 3 blks on average in the three games which means his teammates lost those games. Most notably Boswell with an average of 11 pts and 2 assts has to shoulder most of the blame. Anyway it's a moot point since it's highly possible that, unless CAL somehow make the regionals, the PSAC has seen the last of this outstanding player. His parents, according to their tweets, were not at all happy and I imagine will nudge him to go elsewhere. Time will tell.

What if Luke Nedrow is available and gives Ship some mojo ? Friend of friend says .. possible

Wouldn't shock me. I also think Kyle Polce is going to play today despite the rumors he is out.

Both camps playing cards close to the vest.

If Ship loses their season is likely done. If he can go ... by all means go.
