Bentley was very sloppy which shocked me. I thought they'd be a little fundamentally sound.

Brunzie's is also now having at watch party. That will probably be the best one as they are more equipped for game viewing.

Some quotes from today's Indiana Gazette:
Hillsdale coach John Tharp:
"We knew how talented they (IUP) are and the success they've had," Tharp said. "When we saw Mercyhurst and then saw IUP on film, first we saw they're incredibly well-coached, and some of the switching they do reminds me of Mercyhurst's style a little bit. Cedarville plays a matchup zone, and IUP's is a switching man-to-man. So you see pieces of it, but you don't see the whole thing.
"Then look at what they do offensively, we've faced some athletes, but that's a totally different thing. The first time we watched them on film you can see they can beat you a lot of different ways: exceptional guard play; and the big kid in the middle is really special; and guys off the bench have given them good minutes."
Joe Lombardi:
"I'm a little concerned because they're a little bit different than what we've faced all year," Lombardi said. "On offense they run pure motion. A lot of guys can shoot the ball, and they have a great inside post player. They're a little comparable to Pitt-Johnstown, but their motion offense is a little bit more sophisticated, let's say, so it's a challenge for our defense. We switch 1 through 4, and the guys really have to communicate and anticipate some stuff and react.
"The problem when you play a team like that is it's a different style than what we've been playing and there's a learning curve, and you can't simulate it well in practice the way Hillsdale has for a hundred practices. That concerns me a little bit."
Tharp on star forward Patrick Cartier:
"He's as old-school player as you can get," he said. "His footwork is outstanding. We can throw it inside, and in today's game, that's not seen very often. We're pretty old school with how we play, and that has to be our formula for our success."
Lombardi:
"The biggest thing is to have these guys play loose," he said. "How the tournament goes, how the game goes does not define our season or who we are. So many teams get into this arena, and the biggest thing as a coach is to get them not to put much emphasis on performing or winning. We want to stay with the process and stay in the moment and play for each other, and when you play for each other, you tend to be less nervous because you fell like you're doing it together. When you start playing for yourself it can become expectations, and that gets you out of your comfort zone. I think that's more important than X's and O's."

He said Hillsdale runs a very polished offense -- probably most comparable to UPJ (only more advanced).
Jack and Tony's pregame show goes on the air at 6 p.m.
