The gate for IUP's game was 2,287. Good number for Spring Break.

Kind of a calm crowd, however. Hopefully they get a bigger, louder bunch tonight.

Not going to find a better doubleheader for $20.

'18-'19 team ... says payback time.

Let's not pretend IUP doesn't remember that night 3 years ago.

Fayetteville State head coach Luke D'Alessio's comments after the game:


"It's a different level that we're not used to yet," he said. "Three years ago, we lost the CIAA championship by one point That experience helped us win the next time. But you can't get an experience like this until you play it."

"IUP is a tremendous program," he said. "They have a chance to win a national championship."

"The thing that makes them tough is they play both ends," D'Alessio said. "They're a tough defensive team, but then they have some great offensive sets and some great offensive players and they're well coached."

"We gave it everything we had. We made some mistakes and they'll make you pay for every mistake you make."

"It's been a great experience."

"Our hats go off to Fayetteville," IUP coach Joe Lombardi said. "Tough team, competitive team: They wouldn't go away. Well-coached, they play with great purpose on both sides of the ball."

By the way, I really enjoyed listening to the IUP kids who did the 3 non-IUP games. As far as student announcers go, they did a very nice job. Hats off to those young men.

Gritty win. FSU battled hard. They have some nice players.

I thought right when they got up 19 and FSU went on that 11-0 run that Joe called the dogs off. They did that last week, too.

I think the only team FSU beats in this regional is Fairmont State. They were gritty, but not deep in material. The point guard had that stretch of three consecutive threes to make it interesting for a couple minutes, but they never really threatened to win.

Joe basically implied on the show tonight that they are playing Kentucky on Saturday.
