Iup basketball

I don't know why we play in that stupid Pickle Classic almost every year. Mt Olive and Barton hasn't been good for years. I had a feeling we would lose one of those games.

Anyway, no video for the Thanksgiving games? That sucks. Now I have to go to the games.

I wish we were undefeated going in. Because in all honestly we have talent I'm just not sure we have figured out how to play together yet. But we are definitely not alone in the aspect. IUP seems to be having that same problem. When one guy has to literally take over a game for a team to win, that could be a problem.

I hope it's not freezing cold when I come.

For what it's worth, at the Concord game the student radio station wasn't in attendance either. Not to age discriminate, but the two camera people underneath either basket didn't look to be of normal student age, either.

Who knows. IUP hasn't done real hot at the gate, either. Through (3) home dates they've averaged 1,340. Granted, that's tops in the league so far, but I'd say a disappointing number for the KCAC. The best crowd of the season so far was the Le Moyne game -- lot of energy. It was also free tee-shirt night. Hopefully the students who came for the shirts had a good time and come back.

I suspect the crowds this weekend will be terrible with the holiday break. Saturday is going to be a good game, too.

The 'funeral season' starts soon, too. Our state schools getting 7 weeks off for holiday break is mind-numbing to me, but, nonetheless. That's a long stretch with no students, cheerleaders, dance teams, etc. It actually feels like an IUP football game. LOL.

There was also talk that the pep band would attend games this year. That hasn't happened yet.

Season is off to an odd start.

Odd item:

Salem is scheduled to play in the IUP Thanksgiving event this weekend.

It doesn't appear they know that, though. LOL.

On the IUP and UPJ schedules, they are both set to face Salem this weekend (SAT and SUN).

However, the trip to Indiana is not on the Salem schedule.

Salem is showing a trip to Central State (tonight), a visit to Lake Erie College on Wednesday and then a trip to Kentucky Wesleyan on Monday (Nov. 29).

Salem is currently showing (28) games on its schedule. Coming to Indiana would make it (30). The Indiana trip would give them (5) road games in (8) calendar days.

So, ... is Salem coming here or not?

Wow... I thought stuff like that only happened in a school district in Northwest PA. Yikes... hope some clarity comes upon that.

Honestly, I'd email the SID and/or AD with a respectful tone asking why. Has anyone in IUPland asked that question or are they just waiting for Matt to print something about it?

[EyeoftheHawk]

Lots of people asking in the Twitter world, too. You'd think IUP would at least say why they are the only school around with no videos.

It's quite embarrassing.

They don't even need announcers. Most people mute it anyway.

Appears no video for the ladies today. Being that IUP hadn't had a video yet, I'd surely assume next weekend (VSU and Salem) will not either being students are on break.

Sounds like David could have went in an emergency. Turned out sitting him was the smart move.

They are definitely not the same team without him.

I feel better about the VSU game after watching IUP play Bowie. We just have to get past Barton tonight.

[GoVSUTrojans]

From the box ... man ... shoot over 52%, 50% on treys, won the glass by 22 ... and still won by just 7 (granted, Bowie last bucket came as time expired).

They must, as you say, have had a lot of sloppiness mixed in there.

David, my opinion, is by far their top defender so that certainly was a major item.

So Back when you were here IUP was holding its own, Clarion and edinboro were already in decline, but IUP and slip were maintaining enrollment or only slightly decreasing, then all of a sudden, IUP tanked. I don't really have an answer, but I have talked to students about it. Their claim, for what its worth, was that it was part the bad press/violence, and part the severe over reaction ( in their mind) that IUP had to it. So students that were worried about too much carrying on decided to go elsewhere, and students that would have liked the action of things like IUPatties, didn't want to come either. add to that the per credit tuition, and more expensive dorms, and suddenly many more students went elsewhere. I don't know, that just talk, but the statisticians don't have any answers either.
