PSAC WEST

[Golden89]

Re: PSAC WEST

Gannon at California -- The visitor thrives on defense. The host plays none and gives up the most points per game in the entire PSAC (89.8). Cal can score, though (86.2 ppg). Cal lets teams launch at will but Gannon doesn't shoot the three much (just 39 made through 11 games on 132 attempts). Polar opposite teams and styles ... tough one to call. Gannon -3

Nicely done.

Tonight's Games:

IUP at UPJ -- Despite being on the road, it's likely IUP has the bigger crowd. IUP will have a massive size advantage in this game but must play clean. IUP -7

Seton Hill at Edinboro -- Which Seton Hill shows up? One version almost beat West Chester on the road. The other just got smacked at home by Slippery Rock. Edinboro -15

Cheyney at Clarion -- Somebody has to win. Clarion -4.5

Mercyhurst at Slippery Rock -- As close to a heavyweight boxing match as you can get in college basketball. Over/under on technical fouls: 3.5 Slippery Rock -3

Gannon at California -- The visitor thrives on defense. The host plays none and gives up the most points per game in the entire PSAC (89.8). Cal can score, though (86.2 ppg). Cal lets teams launch at will but Gannon doesn't shoot the three much (just 39 made through 11 games on 132 attempts). Polar opposite teams and styles ... tough one to call. Gannon -3

Re: PSAC WEST

I had wanted to make the trip to Cal on Saturday but it was my oldest's birthday.

I'm very thankful for the new PSAC streaming app. I've been able to watch several games this year from the comfort of my couch with a good beer an arms length away.

Thinking of making a trip to Edinboro this coming weekend just to catch a game.

Re: PSAC WEST

I hear you. IUP has had one home game since Nov. 25.

Re: PSAC WEST

Staunch is the tight end playing this season. Last year it was Jon Girvin.

Boro is now 8-2 which matches last year's win total for the entire season. Coach Pat Cleary is having a good year.

Speaking of 8, a reminder that the Scots were picked eighth in the West in the PSAC coaches' poll.

And no GU home games until January 8, I am having severe basketball withdrawal. Help!

Re: PSAC WEST

I watched the whole game. Boro really pulled off the gas there the last 10 minutes or it could have been REAL ugly.

It will be interesting to see Boro play defensive teams like IUP and Gannon. Cal just lets teams fire away all day. I lost count how many uncontested treys Boro got. Being honest I thought Cal's defensive effort today was embarrassing.

Edinboro can win the West. Catch them when those guards are on ... forget about it. However they found Liggins ... wow. He's a bigger version of Brandon Norfleet. Nobody can guard him and Mason. Pick your poison.

I like how Edinboro is adding the big football-type player to the bench. Nobody is moving that guy and he gives them 10-12 scrappy minutes.

The one weakness I see is the guards won't be all Stephen Curry every night. They were off in both of Boro's losses.

I still put them firmly in the two spot in the West. They may be better than IUP ... may not be. They have to knock them off first.

But .. it's New Years and we're talking Boro basketball on here. That's a good sign.

Boro women up 4 at half. Cal was sloppy at FT line.

Re: PSAC WEST

On the bright side GU will make a lot more money on the reschedule. Nobody would have been there tonight.

Re: PSAC WEST

Sure is. The only terrible part of Pennsylvania is the immediate Erie lakeshore. I would expect all other games to be played.

The Boro Cal doubleheader will be interesting. Since there is no game to go to, I'll have to follow on live stats.
