No, he wasn't.

Demo is passed by. That's obvious. But, they need him.

Think about this: IUP is doing this minus two opening night starters. That's insane. They literally beat Cal tonight minus two starters. Kudos to Joe. He deserves it.

Like I keep saying, Demo for 10 mpg helps.


But, his head needs to be in it.

The movie The Program -- classic amongst our age group -- had a famous quote.

"Are you injured, or are you hurt? ... if you're hurt, you can play."


I think Tommy's head is F-d up. But, man, if they convince him to go all out for 10 mpg ... huge spike to this team.

Clock's ticking, Mr. Demo. IUP needs you.

IUP should be getting a huge SOS spike. Keep it rolling Saturday. Rumor has it a huge IUP crowd will be in the Hammermill.

Hate to take a shot, but, to paraphrase an earlier post in the women's thread:

"Joe needed to do some redecorating in that rent free apartment in Danny's head."


#16-straight

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It's. All. Over.

If I see another jacked up three I might bench them all.

GQ has a quick trigger on that. Keep an eye on it.

Very physical first half. IUP played the Cal tempo for 13 minutes.

I'll take 4.

IUP is a second half team. Fouls racking up for Cal.

Cal should be up 15 right now.

Looks like no Demo. Again.

I honestly thought they were going to call it off today -- or, at least modify it.

But, we'll get another night with the web broadcast.

I really only had two issues with the broadcast: 1) I'd like to see the shot clock. That drove me nuts. The camera angle all night was set just below it. 2) They were getting the fouls on players wrong all night ... i.e. it was a foul on Player X and the announcers would call it on Player Y. It was hard to keep up with who was actually in foul trouble. For instance, they couldn't tell us about Joe's technical foul. I only caught that because I happened to be watching closely. And, Sulaiman also got a technical for that brush-up with Frederick. I didn't know that until looking at the box score after the game. Overall though, the video was pretty good. It didn't freeze, which is ultimately the most important thing.

As for tonight, I'm not real warm and fuzzy. Cal is going to come in awfully hungry. This is IUP's third tough game in 5 days. That's a tall ask for any team. As discussed, IUP's energy level wasn't pretty in the second half Monday night. I don't think they'll have the legs tonight for another comeback. So, they best come ready to play and not get stuck in an 18-point hole.

IUP has to play a slow pace tonight. Cal will want to play this game at 110 mph. It's likely whichever team controls the tempo wins the game.

p.s. I wouldn't be shocked if these to play at least once more this year. Maybe two more.

I sure hope Demo dresses tonight.

I've been outside the KCAC since 8 a.m. trying to scalp them but no takers yet.

Well, I'd say they lost 3,000 tickets Monday and probably 2,500 tonight ... that's one hell of a lot of hot dogs, beer and other concessions. Glad IUP isn't hurting financially. Oh, wait.
