I think we've been spoiled with guys at that C/F position. It's been an embarrassment of riches. I missed Webb, but I saw Marcel Souberbielle in college and he was just a tremendous all around player. Jeremy Jeffers was a tremendous player for the 2 years he was with Joe as well. Obviously Cobo Diaz may be a top 5 player in school history. Ethan I think is overlooked in the grand scheme of things because he just happened to follow Cobo. But man, he is just tremendous. The only real "miss" Joe had at that position was Blake Danielak. And he wasn't that bad of a player. The two teams he was on were kind of those tweener/build up teams before their next run. I don't think he had the ability to take over in the manner that those other guys did, but I'm not sure he had the talent on the floor with him either.

If you were to look at Cobo, Marcel, Jeffers, and Porterfield, I'd be curious how everyone would rank them after Diaz.

IUP tweeted out today Ethan Porterfield is leading the NCAA (all divisions) in 3PT percentage at 50.4 percent (60-119)

That's a nice luxury out of your 6'9" center.

Tomorrow should be interesting. It's been a long time since IUP was home with fans. Add to it, for this year, anyway, this is a rare Saturday night home game.

I'd still love to know why they played most of those at 3pm this year. IUP has always played Saturday night. It just has a different vibe and atmosphere.

The UPJ game next Saturday is in the afternoon.

Of course, if people don't mask up tomorrow we may be watching that game (and the PSAC Tournament) online ... so long as IUP is involved, anyway.

SH is another strange team. They either play really well (just lost to Cal 70-58) or they just get curb-stomped (like IUP's visit to Greensburg). I get that was kind of a hangover game for Cal but holding them to 70 is noteworthy. They've actually lost a lot of close games to the better teams this year. They've also lost to most of the basement. Odd group.

In the first game IUP started it off, I think, 18-0. SH had a big crowd and the air just went out if the crowd and the Griffins. It was empty at halftime. I think Joe was up 35-ish at the break.

I suspect we'll see a better showing from SH tomorrow.

Also a massive game for the ladies tomorrow. But, trying to figure that team out will keep you up all night.

Have you figured out any reason as to why they switched to 3PM games this year? That's so odd.

Joe freaking out. Bald dude is second worst ref in PSAC.

Game after game. Year after year.

Overall I prefer the game be called (no called) the way this one was. When they let them play the game just flows better. It is infuriating though when they let them play all night and then call a touch foul down the stretch. I think all anyone wants is consistency.

IUP 83
Edinboro 71

Final


Not pretty, but a win is a win. IUP has to get some guys back here pretty quickly. Polce and Demo would make a world of difference.

Armoni went for 32 and won this game. Edinboro fought hard. You saw the flashes of Dom Keyes. Makes me wonder what could have been.

Hawks' next three are in the KCAC.
