Nemo will have tough sledding underneath with Span and company. This looks and feels like an Altoona win, especially the way Altoona has played lately.

Altoona will win handily.

Altoona only beating Brashear by 2 doesn't speak volumes for their team.

He had 14 last year against Altoona I went back and looked. He has seemingly picked up his scoring of late. Wouldn't shock me to see Trexler finish with 25 and 10. Span and the Altoona big guys are slow.
McCort's problems won't be there, it will be with on ball pressure. But with the week ahead, Altoona is the least of their concern.
BM plays at Somerset Monday in what will be a wall to wall packed gym, at Richland Thursday for the section lead in what will be a packed gym, and they will host Johnstown at home in front of standing room only.
Such as life when you are everyone's biggest game.

Trexler is certainly the best player on the floor, but I think the mountain lions have a distinct advantage on the perimeter. That is something that could get Trexler into foul trouble trying to deny the lanes.

I agree, McCort had the personnel to go man last year while Altoona played a tight zone. They both may be sitting in a zone, possibly in a low scoring affair 40 something to 30 something.
