    And we all know that at this point in the season it's all about match-ups. Imagine if the seeds had been flipped between Black Hills and Hillsdale. Black Hills vs. IUP would have been a war. Nova would have run all over Hillsdale (if WLU last year was any indication). But the match ups are what the match ups are. IUP had the opportunity to get a nervy first half out of the way against an overmatched opponent. Thursday could be different. But I still believe IUP's defense will carry them to the final (and a possible all out war with Northwest). I called an IUP-Northwest final on one of these threads last week, and I still believe that's the likeliest outcome. Good luck Thursday, C'Hawks--get it done!
    I will say Augusta's offense looked great last night, but Chico State played glorified AAU-level defense. IUP's defense is a whole different animal.

    IUP played a very rough first half. Maybe it was nerves. They looked much better in the second half. Hopefully that first half is out of their system now.

    Tomorrow night is going to be a thriller. IUP and Augusta match up very well.

    I thought IUP was very sloppy in the first half -- players and coaching. But, ... adjustment to a big arena, nerves, etc. Luckily, Hillsdale couldn't hit the side of barn for 18 of the first 20 minutes.

    I suspect Joe gave them a nice wake-up call at halftime.

    Tomorrow night is going to be a thriller. IUP and Augusta match up very well.

    I do agree that Chico played very light defense.

    He's a beast. But, we're equipped for him. Chico gave everything it had but wasn't deep enough.

    When Rock Rowdies tweets out a congrats ... I guess this is for real.

    Classy, BTW.

    What??? I'm a PSAC guy and would like to see IUP win the tournament. "Jagging?" OK, whatever.

    That freshman of ours, Tomiwa, went for 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals.

    Both these teams look really good. But I think Augusta looks better. They shoot it well, seem incredibly quick and athletic, and have very aggressive guards. Perimeter D against either of these teams is huge.

    To get here ... minus arguably their top player since Game 7 ... amazing.
