IUP up 35-18.

Half

Some good D by IUP, but Millersville has been horrible. For a while I wondered if they were going to have double digits at half. Way too much one-on-one stuff, which is not effective against a good interior defensive team such as IUP. Both teams have put up a lot of ugly three-point shots. Not exactly a showcase game for the PSAC, but IUP has certainly had much the better of play.

I think Fite has used a lot of Western Pa. talent and is familiar with the area due to his years at IUP, and we've certainly been grateful for the talent he's bought it. I think I should point out that Rashon Johnson and Kiyon Hardy, both from Philly, have played a great part in what success Ship had this season. ff Johnson isn't the best transfer Ship ever landed, he might be right up there. I'm sure Fite will continue to mine the Pa. West, but wouldn't be surprised if he swung to Pa. central and Pa. East (along with perhaps Jersey). Although Harrisburg area BB appears somewhat down this year, there usually is some good talent in District 3. They have Trey Martin from Boiling Springs coming in next year, and I hear good things about him.

I have a ton of respect for Shippensburg and Chris Fite. I fully suspect Fite will replace Joe at IUP. I've said for years the day Joe retires the limo will be sent to Ship.

But, as for the younger Sleva, he had today coming. Go back to Dec. 19 and he was leading a (fill in the blank) IUP chant at mid-court in the final minutes. He enticed the crowd. Today, he paid for it. He was targeted by the crowd today. And, he had it coming.

Payback is a B, as they say.

Millersville started red hot then hit a short funk in December.

The first game was tight minus the last 6-7 minutes. IUP blew it open down the stretch. That was the first game post-Shawndale.

I don't anticipate IUP holding them in the 40s like yesterday, but I suspect it will be relatively low scoring.

Get ready for KR Jr. today.

And we'll be glad to take the air out of the limo's tires if it ever comes down to Ship. :-)

Sleva has been very effective for Ship this year with several double-doubles and big rebounding games. Since Nedrow went down he has constantly guarded physically bigger players and has held his own with them. He's basically the fourth option on offense. I won't get into the who baits whom thing. Congrats on the win.

Joe calling out another big, loud crowd tomorrow.


i.e. Get your a$$es there tomorrow




P.S. Never in 30-some years of my time watching IUP have had they had to go through two Regional Final quality teams prior to Sunday.


Cal and Ship could easily be playing tomorrow.

Sleva wasn't the arrogant guy today he was in December.
