PSAC WEST

[Scrub]

PSAC Tournament - Round 2

Wednesday



California at IUP - The Crimson Hawks swept the season series, taking control of both games in the second half. The Vulcans jumped out to double digit leads in both contests. Unlike the first game in Indiana, fans will be in attendance tomorrow night. The KCAC crowd and Danny Sancomb should be a good mix. Should be another good one. The teams match-up well.

West Chester at Millersville - Both regular season games were tight. The Marauders won on the road by a single point, and last week won at home by 12. West Chester has to win the tournament to make the NCAA field.

UPJ at Mercyhurst - If Superman's Kryptonite exists for the usually-potent UPJ offense, it's in the form of Mercyhurst. The Lakers have clobbered the high-scoring Mountain Cats in both meetings -- holding UPJ to just 60 and 58 points. Mercyhurst won both meetings -- the first by 29 (in Erie) and the latter by 12. Like UPJ, Mercyhurst also plays 4 guards and 1 small forward, so it takes away the guard-on-big match-up UPJ likes to exploit.

Shippensburg at East Stroudsburg - This could be (likely) a loser-goes-home game. ESU has just 7 losses but hasn't appeared in either of the first two official Regional Rankings releases. Shippensburg fell out of the second RR rankings and a loss tomorrow would be No. 9 -- a death sentence in a very crowded field. The season series was split, with each team winning on the road.

These are all really juicy matchups. This slate of games is good for the PSAC to showcase the kind of depth of talent present in the league. Should be an exciting Wednesday!

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Three blowouts on the men's side.

Shep and WCU is the only close game.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

VULCANS advance to the KCAC on Wednesday by finishing the ROCK 72-55. ALSTON leads with 24 the last 4 of which were scary slams!! If you have a chance catch the last 3 minutes. SRU couldn't hit the barn, broad side or not, shooting 33.9 FG% versus CAL 46.9. Another shot at the C'HAWKS coming up.

I knew they'd play again. I really just thought it would be on Sunday and not Wednesday.

IUP better find a way to not get curbstomped the first 10 minutes again. They aren't making (3) 16+ point comebacks on the same team in the same season.

It's going to be a fun one. The KCAC should be packed.

[Golden89]

Knights down 38-19 at the half. Gannon has 6 field goals and 9 turnovers. Not nice.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It is a bit of a puzzle to me where his game was hiding before this season. He got to play all of 8 mpg in '19-'20 and now after one phenomenal year the VULCANS will likely lose him to the TP by Thursday or Friday. Sure hope not but have to be realistic.

He turned in to He-Man during the Covid lost season. He was kind of just a normal 6'6" guy as a freshman. I bet he put on 30 pounds of muscle.

His pro career could actually be at TE. Imagine DBs trying to tackle him.

[CALUPA69]

Watched 2nd half of cal sru game. Big fan of boswell. Has best understanding of the game of anyone on the court. If you think Alston is a force inside, you should see him in an up and down game. Saw cal pre season scrimmage against west liberty and he was incredible.

Make that 1/17 with 7 turnovers. Down 19-4. OMG.

Pickens 3 just broke a streak of 13 consecutive missed shots.

[Golden89]

Gannon is 1/13 from the field with 6 turnovers. Down 14-4. Hope you took UPJ and the points.
