Interesting standings. Mercyhurst and IUP are clearly the two most talented teams Ship has played in the West and likely the two best in the PSAC when they're on their game. Gannon has some good young talent. UPJ looks pretty lost if one of its bigs misses a game or gets into foul trouble. The return of Biss has obviously put Ship back into the mix. The East teams have had some odd performances thus far, but I suspect several of those teams, especially East Stroud, are better than their record would indicate. Wilson's end to end style is rare in the PSAC and always difficult to play against. The wild card is the likely spread of the new Covid variant in January, which is already affecting sports in the upper echelon.

That's a pretty odd look, IUPbig, with Rock sitting (temporarily) atop the West. Also quite the reversal of fortunes for both ESU and 'Ville in the East after their respective starts.

I'm lost for an explanation on Millersville. They've lost 3 of 4 (and struggled with Seton Hill in the win). They got blown out by UPJ and IUP, and lost to a Pegram-less Cal.

Hard to say ... that's a talented roster. Not sure what's going on there.

[Ship69]

They only have 5 games left that seem competitive--H/H vs KUTZ and SHIP plus a visit from CAL. If they can win 3-5 there's a good chance the PSAC CHAMPIONSHIP will be at BUTCHER AC.

Ship took a big loss against IUP Sunday and I doubt they'll be competitive against Shepherd without Jones. You don't shake off the loss of a 2,000-point scorer too easily, and Shepherd might have been the better team even if Jones were playing. Hope I'm wrong.

Women's loss probably surprises me more. Maybe their heads got big after beating Gannon and IUP.

Boro men went 2-1 on the weekend. Not the combination I thought they'd go but I'll take it.

[Ship69]

Shepherd men and women both lost at Seton Hill today.



Sure didn't see either of those happening.

Wow!

GU men roll easily again. Pretty easy draw this weekend. Ali Ragab with 15 points 11 boards and 3 blocks off the bench. Allowed only 15 points in first half. Giving up 21 offensive rebounds was a problem though.

Gannon ladies in control most of the way. Could have led by more than 10 in first half but it really was never in doubt.

VULCANS MBB salvages a weekend split with an 87-76 W over MILL. Good shooting all around 33/63 FG, 10/23 3s and 11/15 FT. MARAUDERS stats were very similar but just not enough. Zyan Collins led all scorers with 34 followed by Lucas 14pts & 7 rbds, Palek 13 pts & 10 rbds and Boswell 11 pts. Off for the holidays until KUTZ comes calling on 1/2.

Millersville is a hard team to figure out so far. With Pegram not playing, that should have been a very winnable game for them. The Marauders seem to be extremely up and down. Nice start for the season for Cal.

A real nice win for Ship today! 2 major upsets by the PSAC East!!

Certainly was. I almost think East Stroud pulled off the bigger win as Jones is obviously a huge loss for IUP. Both divisions will be a dogfight this season.

Final: Shippensburg 72, IUP 60. I think the Raiders' rep is now back to where it was when they were 0-0.

20 for Biss, 5-for-9 from 3-point land. And it's now apparent Rashon Johnson (15 points) gives them six starters.

Ethan Porterfield tried to keep IUP in it, going 19 and 12. But the Hawks just did not have their A game today. And though I think IUP is still the better team, this is what Chris Fite teams do -- hold 92 ppg teams to 60 points and fill it up from deep (12-for-26).
