I didn’t get to see a lot of the game. Did Ethan get hurt or is this an accumulation of the issues he’s already been dealing with?

Accumulation

Brooks can play more and Diop is more than capable.

He was a cocky **** and did nothing!

Joe said it’s possible Ethan sits Saturday in the post game. I truly think he needs it at this point. His game is declining on the offensive end. Get Diop some minutes against that Big Douche on Gannon.

Not a lot to be said about a lopsided road win like that. But here's a takeaway I had...

There was a moment when things were going south for Joe and the gang in the first half. Seton Hill went on a big run. Those guys were excited and had a lot of emotion coming at IUP. The fans were extremely engaged in the game. People had upset on their mind. That was a moment where I think a lot of teams crack. The guys calling the game for Seton Hill (tremendous broadcast there as always by the way) kept talking about how even though things were not going their way, and they weren't playing well, you could just tell that there was zero panic in the eyes of IUP.

And just like that, Shawndale Jones gets a bucket and a foul underneath going into a media timeout, and the script flipped in a second. Seton Hill isn't a "great" team. But they're a good one. And they had the crowd behind them tonight. It just took one second for IUP to snap right back into the driver's seat and win extremely comfortably. This group is different. Something special here.

If it means Ethan doesn't play on Monday night against Mercyhurst too, I'm fine with that. Every decision has to thinking what's best for the program in terms of accomplishing all of the goals. I trust Joe knows what to do here. Need to play the long game.

4 is a little b!tch

They beat them worse with him than without him.

Get Ethan off the floor!!! He’s limping everywhere. Got to get him healthy!

For whatever reason, this is their MO. Although, this is a good Seton Hill team, so I didn’t think it’d be a blowout. I’ll be interested to see what the 2nd half looks like. Thinking Joe is going to really get into them at halftime - I wouldn’t want to be in that room.

No need to get into them. They have to shoot better than 38% That’s the problem! Poor shooting!

I don’t like the blown lead when they could’ve buried them early, but IUP needs a game like this. Adversity on the road against an engaged crowd.

I’m not worried, this team looks calm even after the blown lead. They got cute trying to blow them out.

I swear these dang schools purposely F up their broadcast to piss IUP fans off!

Joe's certainly the favorite down there tonight. But, I would add this is also the best version of Seton Hill since the year IUP lost down there (only loss in series history). Their last two teams were God awful and poorly coached. So, that's a tough comparison.

Sean Dillon is also playing tonight (he missed the first meeting). That's a huge upgrade compared to what IUP faced a month ago. IUP won that game, 76-55, but was up just 6 at the half and just 10 with 7 minutes left in the game. So, it was a pretty tight game even sans Dillon for 34 minutes. Seton Hill also played at the KCAC without its head coach, who was out with Covid. IUP forced 17 turnovers in that game against their converted point guard. IUP also shot a dismal 22.2% from deep (6-27) against their zone. Tomiwa battled foul trouble and played just 24 minutes. That surely didn't help.

With their best player back and now with the game being played in the yellow shoebox, I think there is some cause for concern tonight.

Consider this: Seton Hill has defeated Shippensburg, East Stroudsburg and Pitt-Johnstown in Greensburg this year. Those aren't pushovers.


OK. That was the Lou Holtz "what are we going to do" rant.

In all seriousness, this is a duplicate of last Wednesday at Slippery Rock. Start Fast. Eliminate hope. Eliminate the crowd. Get it done. IUP is much better today than it was a month ago -- largely due to Jaylen Stewart's emergence since then.

But, if they start slow and get the crowd rocking tonight -- much like that night 7 years ago -- it can get dicey down there in a hurry. I do expect a large IUP road crowd tonight so that will help.

I just started a new job out here 2 weeks ago. I was talking college basketball with my coworkers early this morning. I think they may think I'm deranged discussing that I'm a little nervous for IUP playing a road game at Seton Hill. Considering that none of the folks I was talking to have even heard of either school LOL.

Big night of hoops. I'll have the boys from Oakland in Chapel Hill on the big screen and likely be working two computers to watch IUP-Seton Hill and WLU-WVSU.

This is March.. Wait.. February...

IUP has to make their shots around the elbow (Jones/Ethan). That's the key. They make those early and it will open the rest of the offense.

I expect IUP to win easily. They’ve blown them out of their own building the last two trips down there and while Seton Hill has improved, this is the best version of IUP they’ve faced.
