He was a good official in his younger days. He thinks he's a celebrity now, which, in itself is pretty funny. Not many D2 celebrity officials.

He's one of the worst type of officials ... the one who thinks we are there to see him.

They turned that game from a likely blowout to a game IUP nearly lost.

That was (2 of 3) the same crew the WL crowd blew up about Saturday. Let's pray they left town.

p.s. He is the same official who called off WL's last second half court shot in its loss to Wheeling several years ago.

Putting a different spin on it:

1) Armoni was continuously getting hammered and no calls... did you notice which official it was every time there was a no call on that? Did you notice that every time that same official was under the hoop the other direction that IUP got called for far less? Yes, that was that bald S.O.B. Mr. Clean!!! Not a doubt in my mind that guy had it out for IUP. He would've never made it out of Indiana alive if he didn't make that charge call at the end of the game.

2) So... with that official being awful, it killed IUP's momentum every time! Three times he made a no call and Hurst drained a 3 ball the other direction. 4/5 points swings each time! That the difference between close and IUP blasting them!

Good for business regardless. Had IUP lost last night they'd have sold maybe 180 tickets tomorrow.

Truth!

And speaking of the KCAC, what's with the "light rock" playlist in the arena? I noticed that this weekend (and seem to recall it being mentioned before). Is it the only arena in the country that uses my mom's playlist on the loudspeaker? Very odd effect.

Music playlist was delegated.

That's not typical during the season.

Wishful thinking, probably.

For the weekend, IUP got 2,287 Saturday and 1,996 last night.

Energy-wise, Saturday was WAY better.

No way there was 1,996 last night. That has to be for the day and a chunk left. At best 1300 there for IUP game.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

3000 tomorrow? hahahaha That's funny! I'd think about 1300 myself. Same crowd from last night. It was literally like a funeral home till the last minute.

IUP students are gone this week. Cal students came back from break today.

Both crowds this weekend were a little dull. The PSAC tournament was electric. But, just having those extra 300-400 students makes a massive difference. Games like this weekend over break ... that place isn't going to get hopping. The crowd is too old. It got loud at the end but that was about it.

There was a core student group this year. They sit down low and antagonize the crap out of the visiting team. In D1, I think players are so used to the heckling. In D2, where they typically play in empty gyms, they are not used to it. The KCAC crowd messed with several star players this year and took several of them way off their games.

But, yes, I'd expect 3,000 tomorrow. You'll see a lot of the Christmas Eve Mass types ... first time they come out all year.

Last night I thought that was a close call. But, the KCAC is an arena with a massive video board that somehow can't show replays. Story for another time.

But, that charge was a freaking charge. Watch it on the playback on the PSAC site. It was 100% the right call. Dallis got clobbered and he knew he was going to get clobbered. Absolutely no doubt that was the correct call. He never moved.
