Women may surprise us this year.

So why is the womens game delayed?

Says a power outage affecting several buildings on campus and the next update at 6:30 PM. I was planning on leaving to go to the men's game. Have to wonder what the status of that game will be.

Wonder if we will reschedule them in the middle of conference play.

From today’s Tribune/Vindy on MBB:

Some interesting quotes from the Tribune article. Coach said Zorgvol will be out a while which sounds different than the whole season.  He seemed excited about Dynes and it sounds like he has taken his game up a level.

mentioned that Christian Kirkland has made improvements and is in for a bigger role.  Interesting that he said Depante was going to get significant playing time.  Might have to put him on scholarship if he produces. 

He seemed to say that Jason Nelson will be game one starting point guard which I thought based on his previous D1 stops.

Game will not be made up for the men's team

[guinpen]

Did they ever state what caused the outage?

It's ridiculous that the men's game will not be rescheduled, it's only a 25 minute drive from one campus to the other...and YSU needs home games.

Who's choice was it to not reschedule?

[YsuPride]

Both I suppose.

Westminster Coach Kevin Siroki declined to reschedule - and may have burned a bridge.  This may be the end of the fan-favorite game going forward.

[YsuPride]

He declines to reschedule the game due to scheduling.   Only chance was this past Wednesday but that never materialized.   I believe the series is not over.  We are only like 25 or so miles away.  Close and lots of local talent on Westminster team.

Now the first time we see action is at Chicago State this coming Saturday night then at OHIO STATE  Monday.  With these new developments and the injury to Iman expectations have tempered.  I expect maybe 15 to 17 victories this year.

Coach says we have opportunities with our offense.
