From down 18 to winning by 18.


Wow.


Great game, Hawks.

Too bad the stream was so crappy.. Hard to enjoy the game when it freezes every 30 seconds.

Still, really impressive.

Ethan got player of the game. Well deserved ... 17 points, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 7 boards. True freshman.

But, man, David Morris really had a big, hard-nosed game ... 17 pts, 5 boards, 3 steals. He also really got in Pegram's head ... which was a key factor.

Chucky with 10 points and two huge treys in really clutch moments. Malik had 22 (should have had 32), Armoni with 17 and Anthony White hit a big trey. Shawndale shutout but had 5 big boards.



What a crowd ... 3,287 (and I think that was a light count).

Looks like the show will go as scheduled tomorrow night. It appears most of the bad weather will go more toward Johnstown and Altoona. Indiana is now only expected to get 1" to 2" of snow.

It should be a great doubleheader.

Personally, I like Joe to win ... but would probably pick Tom's game to be a toss-up.

He hasn't been playing much this year. I imagine its injuries. When he was playing with regularity in the first couple weeks of the season they weren't too bad. Without him its like varsity vs JV.

Staunch was crying last night too. He smacked the wall a couple times all pissed bc Ethan owned him!

He's understandably pretty frustrated. You can see that just watching him on the court. He's not playing with the same fire he had two years ago on their good team.

Staunch is at his best in a smaller role -- in spurts. I wouldn't mind having him off the deep bench on Joe's team this year. But, the way Cleary is forced to play him for long stretches, ... he's just not going to be as productive. You'd get the most out of him in a 12-15 mpg role.

He was able to thrive two years ago when they had Keshawn Liggins, Anthony Coleman and Jaymon Mason at guard. He really played that garbage man role very well. Being a focal point of the offense is just not his strength.

They played awful and survived a terrible Boro team and a terrible officiating crew!

It was very apparent in the first half they just wanted to put on a show for the home crowd. I mean, Edinboro crowd. There was almost 1,000 in McComb. That's a huge crowd up there.

And, by put on a show, I mean play the total opposite of the composed, structured Lombardi style we've grown so accustomed to watching. I'd bet that was not a fun experience behind closed doors at halftime. If you're going to be tossing circus passes behind your back, botching alley-oops, etc., the old ball coach is going to be none too pleased.

The second half was much cleaner.

Gotta be honest ... not a fan of a particular player on Edinboro's team.

Empty the bench, Joe. Nothing stupid here.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe up 41-26 at the half.


Hopefully he reminds the team this isn't the NBA All-Star Game and they play their game in the second half.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe gonna lose his mind at halftime.
