All the PSAC transfers Joe didn't want just beat the hell out of him. Gotta love the irony.

Impressed with Boro’s physicality and effort… and IUP is shooting under 30%

Joe's probably a road dog at McComb today for the first time in 30 years (maybe longer).
The Scots have a pretty deceiving record. Lots of close losses to good teams.
If I was setting the line today I'd probably go Edinboro -3.5 (men's).
The women's game, as usual, will be a war.

Anybody know if they made the trip to Edinboro yesterday? I see the game isn't PPD (yet).
Travel this morning (for this lovely 3 p.m. game) will be dicey at best.

I haven't watched any IUP games this year. Pre-season it was said that Joe was changing styles and would be playing the WLU Style. Did that happen or was it just pre-season hype?
Seems like in the new transfer portal era, coaches can no longer build their team to fit their style. And you never know if the transfers you get to replace the transfers you lost are going to match the highlight tape sizzle and which will be busts. Net result is that coaches in this era need to be prepared to make lemonade out of lemons. They need to adapt their style to the players they have and if it means playing a completely different style, coach needs to swallow his ego and do it.
From the record book and comments on this board, that appears to be the situation Joe and IUP find themselves in. He seems to have a collection of players who's particular skills don't match up with Joe's preferred style. At this midway point on the season, Joe needs to look at what he has and figure out a way to win. The question is can Joe swallow his ego and do it??

There’s no need for a massive change. This season is what it is. If (huge if) the team stays together and the guys who missed the season come back, next year should be back to some semblance of IUP basketball.

It was sooooo dark! It looked like they had all the lights off except for a few over the court
Fairmont State's video was like that for years. The first time I ever went there I needed sunglasses it was so bright.

Also with a freshman could be transcript hours issue. Not all high schools require the same credit hours, but most colleges are along the same lines... if his HS credit hours were less than what IUP required, he needed to get the credit hours in the first semester to make him eligible.

What's left is a 7-6 team - featuring (3) true freshmen.
They'll be good next year. They'll likely pull an upset this year. But, they'll putter around .500 most of the season.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 01-05-2025, 10:07 AM.
