Atlantic Region Men's Basketball '25-'26

[IUPalum]

Did Gannon hire the scoreboard operator off Peach Street this morning? Holy cow.

Same crap as the first game.

Gannon's boy "stats" jacked up the fouls today too. His old ass should retire!

[IUPalum]

Prosser needs to quit being a whiny *****! Gannon fouls everyone hard. He gets bumped and cries!

Im not sure why, but most of the score table was not the regular staff. We have 2 main PAs - and neither of them have been there this weekend. The scoreboard operators ive never seen before (looked like HS kids). Sean, commentator, was only person i recognized as normal at table.

Stats wasnt there - it was Preps guy in his place.

Hes definitely the diva.

Anything about 33 percent and over is pretty good for three-point shooting. It's about the equivalent of 50 percent shooting from two-point range as 33 three-pointers made gets you 100 points and 50 two-pointers get you 100 points. Anybody shooting below 30 percent from the three-point line probably is not someone you want taking a lot of three-point shots. If your team is averaging about 35 percent, you're actually doing well.

Great points. You obviously understand the game.
The goal is to get higher points per possession than your opponent using a combination of possible approaches:

- high 3 point %
- high offensive rebounds
- high turnovers
- high true shooting percentage ( combination of fg, 3FG, and ft). If one scores inside and make an and one that is better than a three because of the foul.

In the case of wlu, imho their issue was the high standard deviation in 3 point shooting. Their shooting % varied widely, probably due to differing venues, opponents, and shot selection.

The lengthening of 3 point line in 2019 lowered d1 accuracy from 33.9% to 33.1%, which is statistically significant.

Prosser had 30 tonight. With no trips to the free throw line.

Hes definitely the diva.

I would say Tuesday is without question his last game in Erie.

I wonder how high of D1 offers he'll get (or already has).

biggest looser is the cal coach, crying & *****ing, crying & *****ing, crying & *****ing, the whole game. The GU fans really got on him.
Granted to refs really called a ****ty game.

As a Gannon fan, I felt for Danny. Cal def was the recipient of some poor calls/no calls and he was nowhere near as vocal this time as he was in the PSAC Championship.

The Gannon teams I’ve seen the last few years have more size and length than I think typical MEC teams have. At least that’s my perspective. I think when they have to play a more physical team, or when they have to slow down some, they manage to adapt to that and have been successful.

This year’s Gannon team is probably the closest thing this region has had to what Crutch has been putting together at Nova in terms of personnel. IUP needs Dallis and Christian to both go for 20+ to have a shot. And Gannon was probably ready to run through a wall last night given Cal’s success against them. We can hope maybe they just aren’t quite as geared up on Tuesday given that IUP has yet to really challenge them.

If you were more than a fair weather fan, you'd know what I'm talking about.

Logic would say they could be a bit hungover. I think most (probably including Gannon) were looking at last night as the actual Final.

Gannon has scored an average of 92.66 points against IUP in (3) wins this season (including 99 in the last one).

For Joe to have any shot in this game, IUP has to somehow hold them (my opinion) in the 77-79 range. IUP hasn't been able to slow them down yet this year so doing what they've done for a fourth time likely isn't the answer. Joe's going to have to whip up something new.

IUP's ball movement in the first half yesterday was the best it has been all season. That's a real key against this defense. VU adjusted to it pretty well in the second half. It's certainly no secret Dallis and Christian are going to carry the load.

Somebody else has to step up in the scoring. They need production underneath, and also from Tyler Grove. IUP's offense is much different when he's hitting outside shots. He can really spread things out.

All that aside, I think IUP just really needs to fight fire with fire. Bully the bully back. Needless to say Joe wasn't thrilled with their performance in the last game in Erie. He basically said to win a big game you have to play big boy basketball, and some of them didn't.

The last two games IUP played them pretty well for about 31-32 minutes each time. It's been those other 8-9 minutes that have gone off the rails. If IUP can't slow the game, they have no chance. They aren't winning a track meet. That's not their style and that's exactly what Gannon wants.

Very long odds, sure. But, upsets do happen. IUP certainly has some momentum. Joe has to find a way to surprise them. Playing man-to-man all night won't work. Pressing teams don't like to be pressed. Just sayin'

It’s spelled loser.

That was basically exactly what happened to Cal last night. They were right with them with the exception of a few-minute stretch on either side of the half. But by the time Cal got themselves back together it was an insurmountable 14-point lead.
