Final

IUP 77
Clarion 74

Gotta get healthy and a lot cleaner.


Incredible effort from Clarion.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I actually have no idea what I just watched. Radford hardly played at all. Polce is playing heavy minutes (hasn't played all season). Porterfield barely played. Morris is dressed but didn't play at all. The defense is just non-existent. Double-digit turnovers. Sloppy. Unorganized.

I sure hope David plays in the second half. They are lucky not to be down 25 points at half. Clarion hit 9 treys in the first half.

Be thankful you didn't have to watch it.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The worst half of basketball perhaps ever under Joe Lombardi.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

So no Shawndale, Morris and now Porterfield hasn't played since the first minute.

Wonder what's up?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe better quit treating this like a JV game or they may get blown out. WTF is up with these lineups?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Clarion starts 5-5 from deep.


Lol no matter who we play ....


Appears no Morris tonight unless he's on the bench.

Shawndale not playing tonight.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Shawndale not playing tonight.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It will sure be nice to hear Jack's voice tonight.

The game will be broadcast but not by IUP's normal crew. Sounds like a local is going to do it through his company. Very nice gesture.

From the photo they posted this morning it looks like they may be at full strength tonight.

Well, it took a week but the most secretive game in IUP basketball history finally has a boxscore.

In the second game against Gannon:

Sulaiman went for 13 points and 11 boards in 24 minutes. This kid is going to be a terror. That's a big stat line in his second college game.

Porterfield - 13 (35 mins stayed out of foul trouble)
Demo - 13 (30 mins)
Morris - 10 (35 mins)
Foster - 5 & 10 boards (31 mins)
Radford - 3 (16 mins)
Diop - 2 (7 mins)
Rhodes - 0 (22 mins)

Did not dress: Shawndale and Benton

IUP shot a dismal 3-23 from deep and just 33% from the field. IUP won the glass 47-38.


Clancy did play for Gannon but was shutout. Gannon also shot way differently than the first game, hitting just 4 of 21 from deep and 6-11 at the line. Jonaitis had 21 and Olsen 10.

From the play-by-play IUP was up 2 at the half but kept a pretty steady 10-12 point margin most of the second half.

Looks like Clarion got enough guys back to play some more. They beat up a D3 the other night.

I can't tell for sure but it looked like from the walk-thru pic on Twitter that both Benton and Shawndale are back.

Obviously when healthy Shawndale is going to play heavy minutes. It should give us a little better idea of the depth chart entering next season.

I looked this morning to see if any other West teams were practicing or planning to play. I didn't find much.

IUP is playing Clarion today at the KCAC.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Jack Casale, the D3 player with double-digit D2 offers (including IUP), went for 39 points and 22 rebounds in his season debut over the weekend.


He currently has offers from IUP, Slippery Rock, Gannon, Florida Southern, Goldie-Beacon, etc. He'll be a one-year guy for whomever lands him as a grad transfer.

[IUPalum]

Any word if Clancy didn't play for some reason? He's not mentioned in recap at all and they listed players who only had 2 points... would be a very off game for him not to score something

He played and was shut down! No way him and Olsen could stay that hot. Both had career nights on Thursday.
