    Comment


    • Obviously anything can happen but it looks to me like Black Hills State is the only real potential roadblock to the Crutch Bowl.

        Same thing happened with the Carter kid that ended up at Ship. He was an Indiana High grad, right?

          Crazy to think that Black Hills was seeded as the SIXTH best team in their region . . . and now they're the 3rd best team in the Elite 8.

          I thought either Lincoln or San Bernie's would get the 3.

          Lincoln Memorial is a scary team. They could give Crutch trouble on that side of the bracket.

          Shades of that epic battle WLU had with Lincoln in the Elite 8 years ago--Bonifant went off for some ridiculous number, but Lincoln made a buzzer beater to win a game in which over 200 points were scored between the teams.

            Yeah, historically Lincoln is a team that will try and outgun the West Lib/Nova types. That just feels like a particularly bad idea with this Nova team, but hey, that’s why they play the games.

              Ship's coach is from Latrobe and was an assistant at IUP for several years. He knows western Pa. pretty well.

                NH finished fourth in the NE10 and are 23-10. They made the NE10 tournament final and have wins over all the teams that finished ahead of them, including two over Bentley. Their top opponent was IUP, who beat them 65-60 early in the season.

                They start four seniors and one junior and they play most of the minutes. They only really go 7-8 deep and the subs don’t play much, but they’ve had to play a little more since one of the starting guards is out with an injury. Quashawn Lane and Ty Perry both average 15 a game to lead the team. Davontrey Thomas averages 13 a game. They’re not really tall although their center is 7’1” (mostly a defense/rebound guy who blocks a lot of shots). There are two D1 transfers (Perry and the center, Majak) in the starting lineup.

                New Haven is a defensive team, giving up 61 a game on 39% shooting. They score 68 a game. They want to lean on their defense and play a slow tempo to protect their starters and keep games close. They remind me of St. Mary’s or Penn State in D1. New Haven wants to grind out every possession with essentially a 4-guard lineup. So, pretty much the polar opposite of WL.

                  Lombardi, from what I recall, never offered Carter and was not overly interested in recruiting him.

                    Unfortunately for them we’ve had to play against teams with that style in the tourney so we should be prepared

                      Well, fortunately New Haven had had played teams similar to WL, so it will be an interesting game, see ya in Evansville.

                        Nova Southeastern is the only team similar to West Liberty

                            Not guaranteeing a win just talking styles of play. It is a whole different animal we run the same system as them

                              What opponents remind you of wlu? I am curious to learn more, as I only knew of Nova se and bluefield state in wv that played that style.

                              • I have not seen another team run a full game full court press with high efficient offense and a winning culture other than us and Nova. It’s very hard to do and implement and get the buy in. Obviously it’s not perfect as we haven’t gotten over the national championship hump. On paper WL should be very disadvantaged with our location and school size but we have overcome it thanks to Crutch and Howlett and that system/culture. Crutch has significantly better resources/location down at Nova which may finally get him over the hump. Would love to see that final
