I get Joe only dresses 9 guys. But, that's his choice. Playing your stars up 50 with 10 minutes to go is just ridiculous -- and playing with major fire. Need I remind anybody of the Goon Fest in Greensburg a couple years ago ... when Dante left with a broken wrist and Glover was suspended (and a season ruined)?
Let Glover, Benton and Ulrich play the final 10 minutes. There are no style points. You may need one of those three anyway in a big moment. Get them some actual game run.
Man ... watching Armoni and Malik drive the hole in to traffic up that many points ... drives me nuts. Not worth the risk.Comment

There are two things that drive me nuts about Joe.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View Post
1) The redshirting of transfers when they are needed.
2) Playing all the starters when the game is well in hand. EMPTY THE BENCH!!! KEEP EVERY HEALTHY AND FRESH!!!

When it's all said and done, I think Joe will look back on how the Demo injury was handled and have deep regrets about it. Recall the day after they lost Demo ... they showed back up and blew East Stroudsburg out of the KCAC.Originally posted by IUPalum View Post
It was early enough in the season that activating one or both of the redshirts only would have cost them 4 games. I honestly think based on some comments Joe made at the time that he thought the season was kind of lost. And, then, of course, everything changed. Ethan Porterfield became a man seemingly overnight. Chucky's increased role saw big gains. Anthony White played like 2 minutes in the first 4 games and then instantly became a huge bench asset from the moment he was given an actual chance -- scoring 18 points against ESU in his debut. I think everybody around knew Anthony White could start for about 90% of teams in the PSAC -- yet he wasn't being given a true shot.
I know they went 'all in' last year -- and that was supposed to be his big team. Problem was, it wasn't. It had holes. This team has tremendously better overall guard play. This team is much better defensively -- and offensively. For being much smaller in size, this team rebounds much better and has night-and-day faster team speed. This team, right now, is Joe's highest-scoring team of his era. They are also giving up in the low- to mid-60s per game on defense -- an incredible number.
You can't play 'what if' now ... but, man, it'd make me feel a lot better to have just one more guy on the bench. And, for the crowd thinking the 6'10", 245 lb (ripped) Ousmane Diop must be some sort of 'project' player ... he's not. He's ready. In fact, those close to the program say he's a Day 1 starter in 2020-21 along with Ethan, Demo, Morris and Armoni. Imagine that post ... wow.
I don't know how far this group will go ... but if they stay healthy it's a scary bunch to play.Comment

The KCAC's favorite little whiney gal visits in 48 hours. Looking forward to it.
Ever seen Josh Wise blow up and shoot bricks? Tune in Saturday night.Comment

All remaining tickets tonight are on sale for $3.
For you math people thats one heck of a discount (by KCAC standards). Fan Appreciation Night. Some concessions are reduced, too. You'll still be paying $9 for that 12 oz. Coors (plus tip). Can't win 'em all.
They are going for the record crowd tonight. IUP will need a juiced up venue. UPJ is coming here to win. Very important game for both teams. It should be a fantastic atmosphere and game.Comment

Looks like the IUP lasses won on this evening. Looks like they're stylin' thus far for that one seed to host the region. Stay tuned....
