Speaking of quotes, in Tony’s article Joe said:
“I’m not upset with the loss at all,” Lombardi said. “I know some things we could have done better, but every coach has that after every game. We just didn’t make shots, but I don’t want to blame it on shot-making. There are a lot of fundamentals we don’t have secured yet on both ends of the floor.”
I don’t know what to think of it. I can’t say I’ve ever been in any competition as a coach or player when I wasn’t upset with a loss whether it was checkers or football. I think you can find ways to accept a loss and draw positives from it, but to not be upset with it is curious. I used to listen to Joe’s post-game interviews closely and frankly, I learned a lot from them. I don’t recognize what I’ve been hearing.

“Ryan Smith might be the best offensive player in the league,” Lombardi said. “We didn’t find him early on and he got going and we got in a big hole.”
If you want to sum up this recent (dismal) stretch ... well, that about sums it up.
They didn't 'find' Ryan Smith?
It reminds me of when Lieutenant Dan Taylor asked Forest Gump if he'd found Jesus yet.
Gump answered, puzzled, "Well, I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him."

Nice run by IUP to cut it to a one possession game after being down 17, only to give most of it back before going to the locker room down 12.
IUP is completely different based on which 5 are on the court. Apparently Joe still doesn't see it.
I'll leave it at that.

Ugliest start to a game I've ever seen.
Joe naturally let it get to 17-4 before calling a timeout.

Tradition.
UPJ broadcast freezing during warmups.
Must be about 8 or 9 people watching. Crashed it.
Every. Single. Year.

It's White-Out Night in the Dirty J.
I haven't talked to a single person today who thinks IUP stays within 10 points. I guess I made the line too low.
We'll see. UPJ can get real hot in that gym.

Looking at what remains, IUP is likely going to be in quite the tussle to make the PSAC Tournament.
You can make a case they won't be favored in any remaining games.
@ Pitt-Johnstown - You might as well call this one tomorrow night a 'playoff' game. It's not be-all, end-all ... but, it's a really big one for both.
Edinboro - The Scots are clearly favored in the KCAC this Saturday. Edinboro dogged IUP pretty good in Round 1. Will this team want some retribution?
@ Seton Hill - Strange things happen in the Yellow Shoebox. IUP also can't play away from home.
Slippery Rock - If nothing else this season, don't be the team to end the streak. SRU (similar to IUP) doesn't play nearly as well away from home.
California - The Vulcans are suddenly hot. Danny's been out-coaching Joe in close games of late.
@ Clarion - They both may be eliminated by then. They both may be fighting for the final spot. Who knows.

If Joe's postgame interview he says, "we have no post players. We don't have guys like Webb or Daddy. Damir has done the best he can but he isn't a post player."
So Joe, who's fault is it you have ZERO post players? Why won't you come out and tell everyone? Oh yeah, you're arrogance won't allow you to do that. Got it! You decided to recruit two post players and that was it. Tomiwa is coming back, NOPE!!! Towson gave him more money to stay. I've Bautista coming in. He'll be cleared by the NCAA because they do it at the D1 level. NOPE!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, now here we are!
There were numerous post guys/inside out guys that wanted to go to IUP but nope, Joe didn't give guys like Jayson Harris the time of day.
Let's get into the guards... how many other guards could Joe have got that would be far better than Pickens and Sarp??? My god, those two have been atrocious especially yesterday. Pickens looked like he had never played before and Sarp just sucks. Oh ya, Sarp is Dante's boy because Dante trains him, hence the ****ty floater he tosses up often.
All Joe wants to talk about is the youth, inexperience and lack of maturity this team has but who's fault is it... JOE's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
