I don't think I agree. It would have kept them within a couple of points instead of constantly digging out of double-digit deficits. You're playing a completely different style in a three- or four-point game than you are when you're scrambling to make up big deficits. And it wasn't only the front ends. They missed a bunch of others as well. All conjecture now anyway.

IUP had an advantage in that game that wasn't noticeable on the live feed (I assume not anyway). We had a planted (extremely loud) heckler behind the Ship bench. No way they were used to a loud visiting crowd but especially not the loudest guy in the gym screaming at them all game. That dude went after Sleva and Talley relentlessly.

He kept screaming at Talley "Dominator ... why aren't you dominating." When the home team starts jawing back at the visiting crowd ... mission accomplished.

The Ship fans had security over like 14 times but he wasn't quite crossing the line to eject him.

Was it a coincidence he sat where he did .... not sure. But, I doubt it.



In the old days IUP used to seat the students directly behind the visiting bench. No idea why they stopped doing it.

He certainly deserved that award. His play, and Ship's sudden inability to hit free throws, were two keys to the game.

My favorite part was Shawndale winning Tournament MVP as a non-starter. He's likely to be 6th man again next year although he'll obviously play heavy minutes. Good luck playing them next year. Although I'm having doubts there will be a next season.

Daddy was in foul trouble?????????

Believe it or not.

I went to the game. It was pretty close up until the end. Jeremy Jeffers had his best game at IUP ... he had 18-20 points and hit 4-5 treys. They got Daddy in foul trouble on some real cheap calls.


I also went the year SRU physically gave it to Pitt in the first half of a game. Jamie freaked on KR on the way to the locker room ... saying they were paying them to come here, etc. True story. That was one of those big muscle SRU teams and they really shoved Pitt around.

Last time IUP men were there was 2014-15 season when Pitt won 72-58 but I think it was as close as 6-7 points early in second half. My son was a student manager for Pitt and he told the other managers prior to the game it was no gimme (he had seen tons of PSAC games) and knew how good IUP was (#9 to start the year). I think D Chance played in the game. So the other managers thought he was crazy until halftime when I believe it was a single digit lead.

LOL. Don't remind me of that.

I think it would be a cool matchup for both teams to be honest. Without doubt some Pitt teams would have struggled with Joe's Indians.

It might be also be fair to say that there will be no more IUP-Pitt games after Tom went down there and beat his sister and then she got fired at season' s end.

But I'd love to see the men's teams tangle in an exhibition.

Redshirt Joe was named the NAB Atlantic District Men's Coach of the Year.

Tell me again how he didn't win PSAC West Coach of the Year?

Because there was more money coming from the rich school in Erie.

Off-season update: According to yesterday's article in the Indiana Gazette, IUP is targeting two forwards in this year's class. They will be the extent of a small class. Joe mentioned potentially adding a high school player and a transfer. Obviously he wants one to play right away and the other to develop for the long-haul.

With the seniors leaving and also parting ways with two others, that leaves the current roster with:

Guards

David Morris
Armoni Foster
Shawndale Jones
Anthony White
Bryce Radford
K.J. Rhodes

Post

Tommy Demogerontas
Ethan Porterfield
Ousmane Diop

Utility

Dylan Benton

You misspelled redshirt.
