PSAC WEST

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I have buddies who played at UPJ. Told them the same. Said that might cost them playing in the 2nd weekend of March.

It's a bad loss -- especially from the eye test angle. SRU had been pummeled in 3 of its past 4 games entering last night. But, SRU was a fluke play in Johnstown away from winning that one, too. UPJ is just 4-3 in its past 7 games, and has struggled all year against physical teams.

Regardless, Joe has to thank the Rock this morning. That gave him a comfy 3-game lead in the West -- and three of his remaining five games are against Edinboro, Clarion and Seton Hill.

UPJ can thank IUP for that loss... no way was Rock coming out and losing after the absolutely pathetic loss to IUP.

Been saying it forever. For whatever reason UPJ is famous for losing these types of games. They are a track meet team. Slow them down and they struggle big time. Stats are facts.

UPJ is going through what IUP went through for a couple years. They have nice bigs for the regional but not nice bigs for the West grind.

That's a bad loss no matter how it's spun. It could cost UPJ a bid. Tonight is also why, despite its record, SRU is scary in a one-and-done.

Yes that missed dunk was the turning point. Would have been a nice cushion going down the stretch. Mercy hurts immediately tied the game.

Could have stood to use a time out on the possession down 53-51. It looked doomed from the start.

Another woulda coulda shoulda loss. 12-10 is close to the worst possible record. Not having Tertsea killed our depth under the hoop.

He reminds me of Mosley in his first half of the season with Gannon. All he wanted to do was power his way through his defender and slam the ball. It didnt always go so well. He came off the bench 2 games (nothing was ever stated but team disciplinary action is a good bet) and it ended up being for the best...he tried dunking a lot less (and actually dunked a lot more)... he passed the ball back out more and got it back inside for easy buckets. He was a big key in the NCAA run.

Hopefully Webb will get it at some point before his senior year. And hopefully kelvin is talking to him (rather than giving him superstar treatment and not saying anything).

Rock leads UPJ at half 42-37. Will Robinson Jr is in sweats. Knee must not be right after IUP game. UPJ was ice cold shooting about 27% with about 8 to go but they warmed up and ended half at 41% but SRU shooting 51%. Based on the eye test UPJ wins. They look like a much better team. One of the few games of the year where the home team has been called for more fouls. Kromka and wise a combined 3-15 from field.

I reiterate what I've repeatedly said about Webb. Great player, phenomenal athlete... poor decision making skills.

Break away off steal.. 3 point game and Gannon has struggled to score... just lay it up for the 5 pts lead. Nope! Go for a big dunk and miss it. 5-0 run by hurst, down 2. Webb also followed it up with 2 dumb turnovers that he got himself stuck in no.mans land or dribbled into 3 people.

There were always rumors that him and Coach Reilly often butted heads about his "play style"... all this season he has shown evidence those rumors were true.

You gotta learn sometime man.
