This is a trash team right now.

I know the record

This is garbage.

After watching them, maybe I’m crazy, but I’m seeing something different. It seems the mindset is, “We’re so much better (or think we are), we can play street ball / screw around, and then pick it up when it gets close.” Could be wrong, as we all know the talent and skill is there, just not sure if the focus is.

This is garbage.

I know you aren’t going to blast teams nightly. And I know what the final tonight was. The eye test is telling.

They are plodding and trudging through these games against teams they need to be burying early. In no way, shape, or form, should this team be down 14 to Clarion in the 2nd half and then up by 2 almost midway through the 2nd half to Edinboro in the very next game.

He should’ve never been needed against that bum squad!

EP couldn't get a night off. Had to bail them out. Not good.

This team has not got one ounce better since Jan 1.

Street ball Shawndale kills the offense

KJ blows!

A good team will blast them. The end is near.

This squad just has the look of a tired unit. I do not know if they peaked too early or what. But I feel as though this team has regressed.

These guys calling this game are concerned about the NABC polls and how only being up 6 looks. And they’re talking about resting starters and this game being meaningless. I’d like to teach through the tv and tell them that should they lose this game, they could end up playing in West Liberty in March. This team may not win the PSAC.

This 'team' won't last long when the lights get bright. Playing these dregs just fools most people. This team isn't very good. It could be. But, it isn't.

I agree. They feel “boring” to watch. Offense feels predictable. Offense feels “off.” There was flow 6 weeks ago. Not exactly sure what happened here.

He’s 2/4 from three. What are you talking about? Jones is 0/4. Is that who you’re talking about?

It was the combination of the two early. I got blinded by Morris not coming close two straight on one possession.

This team is a terrible jump shooting team.

I love Dave Morris. We’re not yet four minutes into this game and he’s thrown up five 3 pt attempts. He hit the first. Hasn’t come close since. They need to start operating differently. Work it inside. Use Brooks and Tomiwa. These jumps shots aren’t falling. And they haven’t for a while.

They break out tomorrow and put up a crooked number against a terrile Boro team! I'm calling it now!

They need to just come out and smash some of these teams in the first 10 minutes. The KCAC is a daunting venue when it's packed (as it will be tonight).

Joe's teams are famous for giving these types of teams hope. Once a team starts to believe in themselves ... a lot of strange crap can start to happen -- as we just saw transpire in Clarion.

Hopefully we look back at this little funk and say it was the best thing that could have happened to them. They are 24-1 -- and I'm still not convinced they played to win in the game they lost. Well, those on the court played to win. I'm not sure they were put in the best position to win. Put it that way.

IUP's best offense this year -- BY FAR -- is its defense. I'm still not sure what this current teams' actual offensive identity is.

But, I can tell you this: If they don't get rid of the ugly streetball crap, this season is going to end much faster than many with the crimson sunglasses care to admit.

You're the same person you were at 19 or 20? I'm sure glad I'm not.

I didn’t curse at visiting teams or their fans when I was 19 and 20. I mean it would be like beating a dead horse after IUP ran them off the old goat pasture field at Miller…and we sucked at basketball back then.
