Normal score table shady crap and all ... Joe got the W

SRU's game preview was very clear regarding the mask policy: wear it or get ejected.

I still don't get why IUP didn't at least try this type of threat before pulling the plug ... not to mention they let the crap go on all year.

Taking a closer look at SRU prior to tomorrow's road trip:

Overall - 11-7
PCAC - 7-5
Home - 8-4
Away - 3-3

The Rock is 1-6 against perceived top-level opponents. They have a win against East Stroudsburg.

The losses in these games, however, have all been tight.
- Notre Dame (4 points in OT)
- Charleston 6 points
- UPJ - 4 points
- Mercyhurst - 7 points
- Millersville - 8 points
- California - 9 points

The trend in their season is it appears they rise up for the better teams. They've struggled with lesser teams such as Seton Hill, Edinboro, Bloomsburg, etc. Most recently, SRU lost at Clarion.

PPG - 82.9
Opponents PPG - 76.2
FG - 45%
3-PT - 31%
FT - 71%
Rebounding - +5 per game
TO - 11 per game
Steals - 7.8 per game
Blocks - 4.2 per game

Individually, they have (4) averaging double figures:

Frankie Hughes is a big (6'5"), athletic guard who is scoring 15.8 ppg and has taken 171 deep shots. The next closest teammate in attempts is at 75. He will launch from anywhere -- and from NBA range.

Tyler Frederick is a handful under the basket at 6'6" and 225 lbs. He is averaging 14.8 ppg and 9.5 rebounds.

Jonathan McFall is another big guard at 6'5" and is putting up 14.6 ppg

Amante Britt is a tough PG who has had some big games against IUP. He is scoring 12.5 ppg


IUP is 6-4 in its past 10 visits to Morrow Field House. IUP's two most recent wins up there came by a combined 6 points.

SRU is averaging about 200 per game in attendance this year (and most years). When IUP visits with students on campus, this game typically draws between 1,600 and 2,100. So, it will be quite the atmosphere tomorrow.

I wouldn't pay any attention to SRU losing at Clarion the other night -- in the same gym where Joe smoked the host by 34 points two weeks ago. Just a hunch they were already looking forward to tomorrow and simply got caught off-guard.

Play their typical tough D and the rest will fall in line!!!

Lol that's why I put it in quotes.

But ... maybe Joe was being cryptic and wants the big guy to make the long roadie.

Joe just called out (his Twitter) for the 'IUP Nation' to hit the road Saturday and make the trip. I don't think he's ever done that in the past.

I assume with the proximity to the Erie area and a large group coming from Indiana, there should be a big group in Morrow.

Short trip from Indiana. Saddle up.

Fans are still permitted at the KCAC for the Heritage Conference basketball championships (which get massive crowds).

That is hilarious.

Way to F your own team, IUP.

Driscoll is an idiot! Just shows it wasn't the KCAC staff that called for the stoppage of fans.

For a second I thought he was calling The IUPNATION to come to the game with Dr. Evil in tow.

Back to basketball talk, sounds like Joe gave the team two days off this week. This bye (today) couldn't have came at a better time. They are dealing with a ton of nagging injuries. I'm sure they'll probably watch the SRU/Clarion game tonight and start game prep tomorrow.

Not sure when Demo's 'Operation Shutdown' officially started, but I don't expect him back this weekend. I hope he at least dresses in the case of an emergency.

Saturday will be a tough road environment. They played in a hostile gym up at Johnstown so they've had some experience. And, let's not forget, Joe's had some issues in Morrow Field House.

I'd love to see IUP at least offer a fan bus to go up there. But, I know that's a lost cause.
