Joe getting hammered

I give you credit for watching this and not get hammered yourself.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Nice run by IUP to cut it to a one possession game after being down 17, only to give most of it back before going to the locker room down 12.

IUP is completely different based on which 5 are on the court. Apparently Joe still doesn't see it.

I'll leave it at that.

Ugliest start to a game I've ever seen.

Joe naturally let it get to 17-4 before calling a timeout.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Tradition.

UPJ broadcast freezing during warmups.

Must be about 8 or 9 people watching. Crashed it.

Every. Single. Year.

It's White-Out Night in the Dirty J.


I haven't talked to a single person today who thinks IUP stays within 10 points. I guess I made the line too low.

We'll see. UPJ can get real hot in that gym.

Looking at what remains, IUP is likely going to be in quite the tussle to make the PSAC Tournament.

You can make a case they won't be favored in any remaining games.


@ Pitt-Johnstown - You might as well call this one tomorrow night a 'playoff' game. It's not be-all, end-all ... but, it's a really big one for both.

Edinboro - The Scots are clearly favored in the KCAC this Saturday. Edinboro dogged IUP pretty good in Round 1. Will this team want some retribution?

@ Seton Hill - Strange things happen in the Yellow Shoebox. IUP also can't play away from home.

Slippery Rock - If nothing else this season, don't be the team to end the streak. SRU (similar to IUP) doesn't play nearly as well away from home.

California - The Vulcans are suddenly hot. Danny's been out-coaching Joe in close games of late.

@ Clarion - They both may be eliminated by then. They both may be fighting for the final spot. Who knows.

If Joe's postgame interview he says, "we have no post players. We don't have guys like Webb or Daddy. Damir has done the best he can but he isn't a post player."

So Joe, who's fault is it you have ZERO post players? Why won't you come out and tell everyone? Oh yeah, you're arrogance won't allow you to do that. Got it! You decided to recruit two post players and that was it. Tomiwa is coming back, NOPE!!! Towson gave him more money to stay. I've Bautista coming in. He'll be cleared by the NCAA because they do it at the D1 level. NOPE!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now here we are!

There were numerous post guys/inside out guys that wanted to go to IUP but nope, Joe didn't give guys like Jayson Harris the time of day.

Let's get into the guards... how many other guards could Joe have got that would be far better than Pickens and Sarp??? My god, those two have been atrocious especially yesterday. Pickens looked like he had never played before and Sarp just sucks. Oh ya, Sarp is Dante's boy because Dante trains him, hence the ****ty floater he tosses up often.

All Joe wants to talk about is the youth, inexperience and lack of maturity this team has but who's fault is it... JOE's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the problems with this team stem from Joe's arrogance!

Saturday's IUP-Gannon game story: https://open.substack.com/pub/tonyco...meOnShare=true

[Fightingscot82]

Joe is 9-2 at home this year ... and a disappointing 2-8 outside of the KCAC.

They'll have more road fans than normal in Erie today. Hopefully that helps a bit.

This starts a brutal 3-game stretch:

@ Gannon
@ UPJ
Edinboro

Much like IUP this year, UPJ is much different in the Dirty J.

Joe needs to get 2 of 3. Tall order.

Gannon (like most) crushed IUP from outside in the first meeting. IUP also couldn't make a foul shot. Despite that, Joe only lost by 7 points (and that was before GU's funk).


There's no predicting this team. They'll be good. They'll be bad. Hard to say.



For you gambling degenerates, the line is Gannon -7.5

IUP is overdue to win a game it probably shouldn't.

Oof.
