    2019-20 (thru 16 games) 2018-19 (30-3)
    PPG 82.7 79.6
    Pts Allowed 63.8 65.4
    Scoring Margin +18.9 +14.2
    FG % .490 .478
    3PT % .341 .373
    3PT Attempts per game 25.62 24.36
    3PT made per game 8.8 9.1
    FT % .731 .704
    FT made per game 12.9 13.2
    Rebounds per game 38.9 37.3
    Rebounding Margin +6.6 +4.0
    Turnovers per game 12.4 13.2
    Turnovers Margin +3.2 +4.0
    Assist/Turnover Ratio 1.2 1.2
    Points off turnovers per game 19.4 19.2
    Steals per game 7.9 8.4
    Blocks per game 4.1 3.0
    Attendance per home game 1,494 1,503


    If you judge the best defensive team in school history by points allowed per game, the 2013-14 team gave up 60.3 per game. This years team isn't far off the pace (as of now). The 2013-14 team held West Liberty to 65 points in regulation, although by the time they played (3) overtimes the final score was an 86-85 loss.

    So far, this year's team is performing better in most statistical categories than last season.

    While this year's attendance is technically off the pace, it is actually far ahead of the pace at the same time a year ago. IUP had a couple real big gates at the end last year that really jacked that number up. Being a 1,494 coming out of the funeral season is a very strong pace. They may be able to get this up around 1,800 or 1,900 for the season average. The best gates of the year are always from around Jan. 20 and forward.
    Interesting comparison. I think the schedule is decidedly weaker this year, though, and the PSAC is weaker overall as well. The team's personality is so much different from last year, too. They've been more fun to watch, because you don't quite know what to expect. They are growing every game, while last years team peaked early. Team Chemistry is just alot better I think.

    • Hopefully the IUP stream is fixed by their next home game. By god I don't want to get sea sick again! ALL YEAR IT HAS SUCKED!!! IUP is suppose to be the Flagship School of the PSAC but yet it can't even get it's tv stream working right!!!

        At least they are on the road. You can actually watch the game.

        One school in the league can't produce a live video feed.

        I tried to watch the replay of the IUP vs Cal game. The IUP broadcast was like the Blair Witch on crack and 16 Red Bulls. Horrendous.

        • Based on Points per Possesion, This year's IUP team is better both offensively and defensively than both the last year's and 2013-2014 team. They are going to be a really tough team to beat, since they hold teams to .90 points per possession while they get an outstanding 1.18 (better than best team in D1).
          Very high quality basketball in D2 (of course I am NOT claiming a D2 team would win against elite D1 schools as the athletic advantage of D1 overcomes their deficiencies in the quality of their game)
          Team Pts per Possession
          IUP 2020 1.18
          iup opp 2020 0.90
          iup 2019 1.15
          Opp 2019 0.94

            Synopsis:

            UPJ has escaped some dud performances this year. The recent performances at Edinboro and Clarion - albeit wins - are hard to comprehend. They had the miraculous comeback at Lock Haven and most recently hung on at home to defeat SRU. They were very out of sync in the home loss to Mercyhurst. That said, on other nights they've looked fantastic. UPJ won at Shippensburg and beat up East Stroudsburg.

            For years, Coach Rukavina was famous for playing a very short rotation. This year they are playing 8 guys in double digit minutes and have a 9th guy just about there. Like IUP they spread the scoring around. UPJ is known for very hot starts -- particularly in Johnstown. Teams also see a style of offensive play from UPJ that is fairly rare in today's game. They love the back door pass, pick-n-rolls, etc.

            From those I know close to the UPJ program, this game has been circled for a long time. They believe this is their year. IUP's weakness this year has been getting off to slow starts. That has to change. For the season, IUP is scoring a full 10 points more in the second half than in the first. They'll need to survive a likely surge tonight to start this game.

                        • Last score I could get was 57-48 IUP with 16:11 left.

                          Wise picked up his third foul early second half.
