PSAC WEST

[IUPbigINDIANS]

A collective sigh of relief was heard emanating from Institute, WV, as the YellowJackets of WVSU see a glimmer of hope that they can sneak into the regional if Cal continues to falter.

Well, Cal is now also joined with East Stroudsburg and UPJ (PSAC teams with 7 losses). Shippensburg is right behind them with 8 losses. Everybody aside from one PSAC team is taking another loss next week at some point. For at large bids (if they don't get the auto) I'd say it's imperative these four cannot lost again prior to the tournament -- especially Ship. Obviously all but one CIAA and MEC will add losses next week, too.

The Vulcans will actually come up in tomorrow's RR release (as last night's loss won't calculate until next week).

No time for a hangover in the Angelo Dome. Mercyhurst visits tomorrow.

Rock gets the big win at California ... in what may have been one of the ugliest combined last 20 minutes I've ever watched.

Gannon rallies from 39-21 down to win by 14. LAP with 34, most by a GU player since Adam Blazek scored 37 in 2012 as a freshman at the same Tippin Gymnasium.

Things are not going well in the Valley as ROCK has used 3s, FTs and Rbds to lead the VULCANS 42-37. They have 20 minutes to get it together or get ready to play that first round playoff game.

Rock up 5 at halftime down at Cal.

We've seen this plenty of times. Can SRU close one out?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Have they begun the process of moving to D2? They're currently D3, right? To your knowledge, are they looking to make the jump the way Frostburg did when they joined the MEC?\

And in truth, even in its current form, SVC's gym wasn't half bad compared to some of what we see in our respective leagues currently.

I'm not aware they are looking to jump. But, they'd fit the profile and have good proximity.

But, they are in a good D3 league full of somewhat close schools. Seton Hill would be ideal in the PAC.

St Vincent College is getting a new gym with several million from the state.

It also doesn't hurt that an NFL team drops some cash on your school each summer.

I've wondered for a while now if they'd be a target of the PSAC should the league need a new member.

I'm bad at math but it appears that if CAL wins out and IUP beats UPJ, then the VULCANS sneak into the #2 West spot and finally get a night off. Am I correct ??

I believe that is correct.

That night off (Monday) is huge since they are already playing 3 games this week -- two of which should be tough ones. If not, they'll get Sunday off and right back to it on Monday.

The final week of the regular season has arrived -- and, it's going to be a dandy.

IUP has the West clinched, but has a big game, NCAA-wise, remaining.

The most important games this week (these also have huge NCAA ramifications):

Tonight

Slippery Rock at California

Wednesday

Mercyhurst at California

Saturday

Slippery Rock at Mercyhurst

UPJ at IUP

The UPJ game Saturday is a huge SOS builder as will be the PSAC tournament!
