Pegram: Male Actor of the Year

Is he still doing that thing where if you breathe on him he throws his head back like he's been cold-cocked? Drove me nuts when he was at Wheeling.

Lot of respect for Cal. I watch (too much) a lot of D2 basketball. That's a good team. I hope we don't see them again.




Huge road win for IUP.

Pegram: Male Actor of the Year

Wonder if Joe is going to guard the deep shot all night or just leave it wide open?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Malik 0 points in half ... foul trouble but nonetheless.

Gotta get him going.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe should be up big. But, he's only up four.

Cal has 4 treys off of missed treys that bounce out 30' off the rim

Pegram up for an Oscar on these flops. Lordy.

I bet Porterfield redshirts. No need to burn up a year of eligibility with the other two getting time.

I didn't think of that ... certainly possible. Lol.

IUP Men's Basketball Twitter put up some photos of practice yesterday. Ousmane Diop is a big dude.

Already thinking about next year's starting front line of Diop (6'10"), Ethan (6'9") and Demo (6'8").

This is going to be a tough trip tonight -- men's and women's.

I re-watched the last Cal/IUP men's game. While it's certainly odd to have a full 35-point swing over the course of a game, it should have never got to that point.

In that opening blitz Cal dropped, they just couldn't miss a shot -- and IUP's defense was letting them launch from all over. Cal's defense was doing nothing special in that 22-4 run to open the game. IUP just couldn't make a shot to save its life.

Cal again got off to one of those heaters this past Saturday at UPJ. The Mountain Cats came out in man-to-man and Cal just torched them from outside. When UPJ went to a zone the whole game changed. Cal came back in the end but UPJ's lead was just too big.

I honestly think IUP took them a little lightly last time -- and shouldn't have. I'd suspect Joe runs the defense differently tonight to limit their looks from outside, and we'll also see a lot of the press. I'd suspect a much more focused team to start the game.

Pegram and Morris both were limited in that last game. Pegram was in foul trouble all night and Morris left for a long time with a cut above his eye. Those two didn't get along real well. That match-up in itself should be a good show tonight.

Joe just needs to use those timeouts tonight to break up any runs. He didn't do it in the first game. I fully expect this to be a game with 2 minutes to play.

If the ladies want to host the Regional ... this is a real big piece of the puzzle.

Just about the entire IUP team went out of their way to personally thank the big crowd this past Saturday night. The football team put it on their Twitter page, etc.

That stuff is contagious. Saturday night could be pretty wild for the Gannon visit. Word gets around campus fast and could really snowball the rest of the season.

That was one of those rare atmospheres. I'd bet this weekend breaks the alleged (but not actual) record set last weekend.

I agree with IUP24 (and the boxscore) that the game we no longer speak of was actually a larger crowd. Barely.


Just a guess but GU's Johnson will be Target No. 1. He'll jaw back which will only get things going more. UPJ plays at 3pm. Maybe we could plant Josh Wise in Row 1?
