Big one in the Boro tonight. Who does everybody like?

Tough call ... very different teams.

Re: PSAC WEST

What are a few seconds worth?

Edinboro has now lost four games in the final seconds. Literally. The Fighting Scots have lost to Gannon (0.4 seconds left), Kutztown (0.8 seconds), IUP (1.7 seconds) and Mercyhurst (13.2 seconds). Four defeats in 16.1 combined seconds of clock.

Holy crap. And UPJ tied the game at Boro at the buzzer.

Re: PSAC WEST

Conversely, IUP has won four games in the final seconds. The Crimson Hawks defeated Bloomsburg as time ran out, in addition to Edinboro, Slippery Rock and Mercyhurst.

No team has lost more close games this year than UPJ. It's a dubious mark but the Mountain Cats may lead the country in losses under 4 points.

UPJ has too many losses for an at-large bid. At 8 losses, Edinboro is holding on for dear life -- not only needing to win out but also get some help.

A couple seconds of better fortune and both have a much different outlook. Both are capable of making a big run in the PSAC Tournament. Nobody would be in a hurry to play either of them.

It would be very ironic if they play in the first round -- and it's certainly possible (perhaps probable at this point). Odds are it would come down to the final seconds. Naturally.

IUP, SRU, GU, EU and UPJ have clinched PSAC Tournament berths. Pending something miraculous, Mercyhurst will be the 6th and final seed.

It's certainly possible to see a Gannon/Mercy Round 1 match-up (pending SRU maintains the two spot).


Two big games in the conference tonight:

IUP at Gannon

Shippensburg at Kutztown

Watch zay kick his legs after the block.

Re: PSAC WEST

I didn't see a lot of protest on the call. Thought the kid was all over him.

Go to the Gannon site and look at the video at around 3:58 and you can see a clean block.

Re: PSAC WEST

Terrible call great acting job by zay. He is good at kicking his legs out on jump shots to get calls. Ref fell for it.

Re: PSAC WEST

On the ref topic ... I was talking to one the other night ... those guys do some serious travel.

Whatever they get paid ... it isn't enough. That's a tough job.

I guess I've watched far too many games. I can tell what kind of night it will be as soon as I see which crew is working the game.

There's one that despises Lombardi. It's a younger group and one is really 'GQ' ... he's T'd up Joe in his last 2-3 games here. They did the IUP game with East Stroudsburg ... by far the worst crew on the circuit.

Some of the crew ... one in particular ... like to dictate too much. It ruins the game. That illegal screen crap gets worse every week. That's the new de facto call when they need to even things up.

Re: PSAC WEST

Whether it's football or basketball, the biggest league in all the land comes up short, again, with officiating. I'm not saying, Jackson, bought or sold that foul, but that was a 2001 PSAC West hoop game, fun, high energy, physical, and then that. How does a street fight get settled by that? Terrific game, and kudos to Zay, but I'd have preferred an athlete decide the game, not some guy taking home a $275 determining the outcome. Absolute terrific game, great rivalry, great atmosphere, lousy ending

Zay got an Oscar nomination.

Gannon tweeted a clip and you can totally see the lack of a foul. That ref crew kept calling fouls on delay. Didn't see any contact on the shot so my crew plus some Gannon fans sitting nearby thought it was a 1+1 foul and ended the game. Oh well.
