Well, the Gannon ladies better worry about winning in Round 1 before they start making plans for Pittsburgh.

Edinboro seems to have some secret sauce against Gannon.

The Scots lost to them in OT and then beat them, 50-47. Even in the GU OT win, the Knights were held to just 63 points. So, Callie Wheeler knows a few tricks in that matchup.

The Scots have 13 losses and got the 7 seed. Don't see that every day. Remember, Edinboro started 1-6 this season.

Now they get the rubber match in front of 24 fans inside the KCAC on Friday.

Callie is a fantastic coach. She had a tough act to follow in Stan Swank. I wasn't sure Callie was "ready" but she's proven me wrong several times over. She's destined to be part of the first father-daughter combo in Edinboro's athletics HOF. Her dad Rich was a star football player at Ambridge and on Edinboro's early 70s teams.

Yeah, tough day for them in their home building. When they built the nice lead in the women’s game I’m sure some were thinking they’d likely see two trophies coming their way. Saying that, winning the PSAC is nice but I’m sure they’d rather win the region. They still have that in front of them and it wouldn’t shock me if they redeem themselves and win both.

I just hope he gets over getting snubbed this season and realizes he's going to be one of the stars the next two years.

His ceiling is very, very high.

The ceiling is only has high as his brain allows it to be.

Herring really outdid himself last night. He always had it in him.

Some other oddities last night:

* IUP won despite star PG Kymani Merraro finishing with ... 0 points in just 18 minutes.

* West Chester was 2 of 19 from outside

* The two games this year IUP was called for the most fouls? Both West Chester games (24 & 28). Season average is about 15-16.

* The first WC game, Ian Herring played 17 minutes, scoring 2 points and grabbing 1 rebound.
Last night, Herring played 35 minutes, scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Add to it he had a massive block in the waning seconds.

To add to it, Herring drained the buzzer beating 3 just before half.

Ian Herring !!!!!!!

Where's he been all year, Joe?


Harry the closer !

I was thinking about going…but you all said they weren’t that great. Then I wasn’t feeling that great..still not today.

[IUPNation]

It felt like the end of an era.

Maybe it was.

Maybe everyone can’t afford tickets since gas prices went up…

[IUPNation]

No other way to put it, the athletic department should be embarrassed by the lack of fans, no band, no dance team, etc. IT WAS A PLAYOFF GAME!!! At best there was 150 fans.

Who runs it again? A Slimey agent.

Funny stat:


Free Throws

IUP was 11 for 15

West Chester was 28-36

AND 3 of those IUP missed free throws were by the PSAC leading scorer Dallis Dillard.


Nobody is talking about it but that game winning shot came on the halftime buzzer beating 3 pointer from Ian Herring.

Here's the thing: this is the least aggressive IUP team in 20 years. WCU plays playground basketball.

IUP fouls - 28
WC fouls - 18


It was a travesty. Total embarrassment for the league to have three idiots officiating a big game.

Ship had a couple of games like that this year. The Raiders were one of the smaller teams in the league and not particularly aggressive, yet we found ourselves on the bad end of some pretty big disparities in foul calls. It was especially noticeable at home where we don't seem to get the kind of home cooking from officials we see otherwise. When you're a halfcourt defensive team playing a pressing, aggressive team that constantly has its hands on your players, yet you look up at the scoreboard and see your team has five fouls while the other guys have two, it gets pretty ridiculous. In the final stats for the season we were fairly even with opponents in free throws, but a couple of games really stood out.

It was a credit to IUP to win with such a disparity.

This officiating crew obviously hates Joe or was pissed at him. The more he complained the worse it got. Then Joe got the T, well deserved but the call was God awful and Joe had to unleash.
