I think David was precautionary. He took a a knee below hip. Hopefully just a nasty charlie horse. He wanted to stay in.

Malik was sloppy today. Ill-advised stuff.

IUP wins 87-71.

Morris sat most of second half. Looked like a high Charlie Horse. Hopefully. They were in control so I think Joe let him rest.

Armoni huge game.

Dylan cost them 12 points in first half. Without question.

I can never remember a year with so many legit star players gone for the season.

Mo Williams - Kutztown (lost for season prior to Game 1)
Ryan Smith - East Stroudsburg (illness)
Tommy Demogerontas - IUP (lost in Game 4 for season)
Daniel Ogele - Mercyhurst (lost in exhibition for season)
Anthony Coleman - Edinboro (missed almost whole conference season)
Ian Langendoerfer - West Chester (lost for season in Game 2)

Redshirt Joe loses his top player in Game 4 ... goes 26-2 and wins the West ... no Coach of the Year award. Interesting.

In my opinion getting ESU is perfect for IUP. Win or lose, they'll get a game against a high-pressure team. West teams don't press much. It's highly likely they'll play some pressing teams (hopefully plural 'teams') in the Regional.

IUP beat ESU earlier this year, 80-56, but that was a long time ago. This is a good tune-up game for the NCAAs.

Wish I could but I have to save my road trip for the regional that IUP is hopefully hosting.

We're glad to have the semis here for the first time. I plan to get there early enough to see the IUP-East Stroud game, which could be interesting. ESU certainly is beatable, but their system makes every game against them a grind. Ship will have to pick it up if we're going to make the final. Haven't been putting it in the basket recently, and the three-point shooting performance last night was the Raiders' worst in 18 games.

Any of you IUP guys coming to the semis on Saturday?

IUP better clean up the show or the show will end early for them.
