    Cal's roster just isn't built for a full West season. They are going to get mauled by the big monsters of the West. Different league. Danny will adapt.
    ORRRRR...If you believe the information, it could be a bad sign for the PSAC West in that Cal is going to be really good.

    OOORRRR...It could be the first scrimmage of the year, we are basketball starved, and we are putting too much emphasis on what effectively is an inter squad practice.

    If we believe the info you received, there was a 17 point swing in the second half. That ain't too bad. Not having seen the game or even have a box score to refer to, it kind of sounds like a typical WLU game. Opponent can hang for a while but ultimately get tired and fade at the end when the Toppers cruise to a double digit win.

    Again, not having a box score to see who played and how many minutes makes it tough to gauge. Possible that our starting 5 could have been Hill, Alessandro, Yoakum, Saben and Watson just as easily as it could have been Arnold, Meininger, Bolton, French and Allen...Or it could have been some mix between.

    3-9 is interchangable. If Gannon's vast array of newbies don't get Reilly's defensive schemes early on, the Knights can dig themselves quite a hole and never escape.

    LOL ... first thing I thought of, too.

    The coaches mangle these every year. No doubt some spite gets involved in the voting.

    Interesting Joe got 8 votes. He can't vote for his own team. Mercyhurst got the other (1) vote.

Strength, speed, quickness on both ends of the court. Can go left or right attacking the basket, which should be an expectation at this level but is not consistently seen. I've seen what he can do for too long. You don't want him on the other side of the floor from you.
    I agree that Webb will turn some heads in the PSAC in 18-19, but I don't see him on the preseason all PSAC west team. A player needs to have a full, consistent season under his belt to get the exposure needed for preseason all-conference. He'll surely have his shot at all conference when the season is over.

    Isn't his biggest issue staying out of Reilly's doghouse?

    Big-time talent ... no doubt.

    The three obvious picks:

    F - Cobo Diaz, IUP
    F - Micah Till, Slippery Rock
    G - Anthony Coleman, Edinboro

    There are a lot of flashy imports on rosters but none of them -- historically -- will be given any preseason accolades. I'd propose Malik Miller (IUP) and Drew Magestro (UPJ). That said, I could see the final two being Dante Lombardi (IUP) and Trevor Blondin (Seton Hill).
