Iup basketball

This is generally the reason I don’t stay for most games. Although, since I’m at the women’s games I assume my attendance gets counted towards the men’s games anyway.

It truly isn’t anything like it was even 4-5 years ago at the men’s games. There are a lot more empty seats and the energy level is way lower. Student attendance has been abysmal. The biggest night at the KCAC for basketball is the Heritage Conference Championship Night, and it was rocking again last night.

So glad MC won.


Trying to milk the entire 4th sure backfired. That was awful.

I'm glad that coach lost. If they kept playing normal I have no doubt they'd have won.

I can't wait for the shot clock.

I heard Joe is recruiting him.

Good luck

IHS's Webb scored 49 tonight.

Good Lord

I heard Joe is recruiting him.

For some, it goes deeper as they've tired on certain things surrounding the program.

Why is the IUP attendance tanking?

There's a lot of reasons.

However, one of the the main ones is the program has a lot of bandwagon fans who all vanished the past two years.

Joe's done some really strange things the past couple years. His recruiting and roster-building has been highly questionable. Three straight years he's had glaring weaknesses and failed to address them.

I'll leave it at that.

As an added bonus, most people don't like paying KCAC ticket prices nor getting ripped to the moon on crappy concessions. But, that's more the casual fan complaint.

Is the IUP Boro games still on for this weekend?

Edinboro only cancels or reschedules when PA State Police advise against travel. Those coach busses usually do pretty well in the snow; they're so heavy its hard to get them to slide.

yes

Indiana High School junior Aaron Webb saved perhaps his biggest game for the biggest stage -- pouring in 35 points in a road upset at Shaler.

Webb did this in front of a packed house of high Major coaches/scouts. Per reports, LSU, Florida State, Marquette and Florida were in attendance. He currently has offers from Penn State and Virginia Tech. His stock is exploding.

He's 6'8" (and growing) and is essentially playing all 5 positions (with a very strong outside shot).

Webb is putting up these stats while routinely being double (and sometimes triple) teamed all season.

He's going to be a wealthy young man here very soon. When the big boys of the P4 are in town ... the big coin is going to follow.


It's an interesting night of high school basketball in town tonight.

Indiana hosts Plum in pretty much a must-win for IHS.

Across town, the Heritage Conference Championships (boys/girls) will be played inside the KCAC.

If you've never attended this event, well, it's about as crazy an atmosphere as you can get in high school basketball in Western Pa. It's far and away the largest crowd to watch a game in there all year (any level). The Heritage is largely comprised of all the smaller schools surrounding Indiana / Indiana County.

This event is hyped all year as "The Road to the KCAC" and fans from all the schools show up (not just of those playing).


I wish the regular building tenants would market events the same way. IUP attendance is in the tank.

I'm curious if they'll play. Isn't the Boro area supposed to get bombed with snow this weekend?

Just a dusting of snow but temps below 0.

Yeah, the trend in P4 college ball is swinging toward height these days as big players are increasingly becoming more versatile. A kid that size in high school should get a lot of looks. Michigan and Illinois have huge lineups this year, as is Duke, and they've been dominant in their leagues.

They might be coming up early tomorrow instead of tonight. 79 was closed in both directions today for a massive pileup near 422.

I thought about attending tomorrow's game at Edinboro but I don't want to say something critical of IUP and have a certain administrator call me to cuss me out.
