Good W for sure and much improved. KJ will be on the floor tonight so Joe can give him his 100th game. Real litmus test for this team will be ESU before the end of the year. Gannon 2 weeks after that. What Jordan Fee has done there is a game changer. Think they will will win PSAC

I'd say Gannon is the front-runner in the the region right now.

I wouldn't doubt Joe gives EP the night off tonight.

There is a reason he was the guard chosen to start dressing. He's got talent and it shows. Joe is showing some confidence in him and left him out there a little longer tonight.

That was the best IUP has looked all year. Night and day from a month ago.

He's legit. He's got some spunk to him, too.

It's going to be interesting to see where Radford fits in.

Lambert either doesn’t have a red light to shoot, or doesn’t care lol. I like the fearlessness.

I wasn't saying Radford lacked maturity and basketball IQ. His physical nature or lack there of was attacked. When other guards are 6 inches or more taller than him, it's easy to exploit. That's all I was saying.

I didn’t take it that way. I was agreeing with you and taking it a step further by saying he might be a little more seasoned this time around.

I liked him when he was here the first time and I thought his defensive effort was very good. The results just weren’t there overall at that time, but it’s a different time now.

I also think Ethan will play tonight. I could see him playing in a limited capacity tomorrow. Luckily, the tougher of the two games is first.

That said, I can't imagine what lineup we'd see without him. I think Joe has to get Waldo some minutes so he's at least somewhat ready if the night comes that Ethan can't go. Joe would have KJ starting at center.

Just stop with the KJ talk. I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.

IUP really needed to add some scoring, especially with Petteno not meeting expectations on offense or defense and Stewart not exactly asserting himself as a scorer. I assume Bryce has matured a bit since he was here, not saying that he was immature then. He’s just a little older and maybe physically stronger with improved basketball IQ. As long as he doesn’t come in and try to do too much it’s an addition that should make IUP better.

Any word on Tomiwa transferring back? :)

I fully expect Ethan to play both games. We’ve seen this often with him where it looks like he’s not going to play but then he’s out there. Maybe Joe will limit his minutes some but we’ve also gotten reports that he might not play only to watch him go for 35 minutes. At this point let’s just assume he’s going to be a permanent fixture on the injury report.

I’d be more excited if he grew 6 inches and gained 50 lbs while he was away.

He could be coming in to back up Damir Brooks. Lol.

Joe's running out of guards to play in the low post.

Porterfield is a "Game-time decision" tonight per WCCS.


With his status (already not practicing) I was expecting a mid-year post player addition. Maybe it still happens.

If he's only going to play once this week, tonight is the one they need him.

Bryce Radford returning as a mid-year transfer is extremely interesting. He's obviously not coming back to ride pine.

He instantly bulks up the guard room and gives Joe a serious deep threat.

Radford can play all three guard spots, and is a good locker room guy.

I think this is great news for the program.

Radford should allow for Clarke and Dallis to take a couple breaks (and not play 37 mpg). Bryce can also shoot from all over which other teams have to watch. He helps spread the floor. I don't think Joe's bench guards were striking fear in to anybody.
