Those aren't rumors. It's a done deal. PSAC announced it late yesterday. Doesn't bode well for basketball season which would get a late start as the best-case scenario. -
If the rumors are true the PSAC has suspended all sports until Dec 31.
Speaking in pure hypotheticals that means basketball 'camp' could start Jan. 1. Perhaps games by Feb. 1.
Here's to being optimistic.

I sure hope they play this year. This is another loaded team. With Demo back and Ethan a year old -- and Ousmane Diop -- they are loaded inside and outside.
That said, I'm very doubtful we'll see a basketball season.Leave a comment:

The really sad part in all of this is what may have been. And that goes for a lot of things right now... High school athletes, high school graduates, college graduates, pro leagues, etc.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View Post
IUP had a team that could have went a long, long way before the announcement made on that Thursday in March ended it all. I always say that the most important thing about "getting there" is winning it when you do. Joe has lost twice. In the years since... Two NCAA Tournament wins.
You just never know when you're going to get that shot again. You may never get that shot again. Regardless of how good your program is, you need a ton of talent, some good fortune, and a lot of luck to just simply play in the last game of the season. As the season went on this year, I grew more and more to believe that this team could really make a run at it. Sad.Leave a comment:

The downside is if they cancel the season it would likely be the end of Demo's career. Just a guess but he'd probably want to move on with life at that point.Originally posted by hawks16 View PostLeave a comment:

Former walk-on Alan Glover is headed to Stockton (NJ). He should do very well there and play heavy minutes.Leave a comment:

With a shortened season the conference slate becomes a bit more interesting. It's a tough stretch to start the season. Gannon and SRU also visit the KCAC over break. The Saturday, Jan. 30, trip to SRU is always a tough one. Below lists 20 games. They can play a max of 22 regular season games. I suspect two 'tune up' type home games prior to Shepherd visiting.

Looks like a late addition has surfaced (walk-on).
Nike McGlynn is a 6'2" guard from York. He had a very strong junior year but missed his senior season due to injury.Leave a comment:

I really hope Anthony White stays. Kind of lost in history is the fact he really bailed them out last year in a pivotal game.
Recall the Saturday-Sunday doubleheader ... Demo was lost for the season the day before and Joe had ESU the next day.
Anthony hadn't really played in the first four games and then came in for a game-high 16 points in a 80-56 bashing of the Warriors.
I said all season he'd have started for the vast majority of teams in the PSAC. I'd hate to see him leave right before his senior season. He's been a big part of the program. I know his potential leaving isn't basketball or IUP related.
Basketball-wise, he's developed from a walk-on to a well-built, 6'3" really athletc guard. Call him a role player but guys like him are hard to find.Leave a comment:
