  • Re: Iup basketball

    Up until recently IUP was the exact opposite ... and was struggling to start games.

      I think the Gannon men's team needs a few more years playing the new style before you see a noticeable increase in attendance. I've always said putting an iup talent level and style team would fill the hammermill. i think the style had to change because season tickets didn't sell out. Hopefully they didn't wait to long. I know some who refuse to even take a new look.

        The talk about the Gannon attendance got me thinking about the KCAC this year -- which has also seemed more empty than usual.


        YEAR AVG HOME ATTENDANCE
        2016-17 1,040 (note: leads PSAC by far which is scary in itself)
        2015-16 1,363
        2014-15 1,330
        2013-14 2,090
        2012-13 1,586

        With four home dates left -- with students finally back -- I'd assume that average number for this year increases a decent amount. But, as of today in comparison to just the 2013-14 season ... almost exactly half the number of people per game. That's a heck of a drop-off. The best year for 'average' attendance filled up slightly more than half of the 4,000 seats.

        The team has been a consistent winner over this stretch. The venue is fantastic. So, what's missing? Why is attendance declining? The pricing is a factor but the KCAC has been expensive in recent years, too. Oddly, the largest announced crowd this year came at the Field House.

          After nine lead changes and eight ties, the IUP women held on to defeat Gannon 62-57 at the Hammermill Center.

          Gannon (5-16, 5-10 PSAC West) got as close as 54-53 with 1:43 left, but IUP (14-5, 12-3) went 8-for-10 from the foul line down the stretch to escape Erie with the win.

                    40-23 IUP at half. Could be worse.

                        Millersville blew out Shippensburg .... huge upset.

                        Rock holds Seton Hill to 32 points. Another wow.

                          Not even close. Outplayed at every position.

                            The game today wasn't as close as the final score. I think the biggest difference between these two schools is the bench. Gannon gets nothing from the bench players. Until Gannon gets some factor players coming off the bench, they won't get over that hump.

                              Ten was a generous final number. Joe could have -- should have -- hung a big number.

                                Nice honor for KCAC staffer Jim Klyap today being named to the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. He was a longtime educator, coach, and AD in the Purchase Line school district. Congrats to him! Ed Kozar of Blairsville High was also named. He is another who toiled for years to create a better landscape for local athletics. Very deserving that these men should be recognized!
