Iup basketball

[Chuck Norris]

This team picked the right weekend to find some serious moxie. Wow.

So, let me get this straight. The IUP super fans are unhappy because the crowds are down, Joe can't manage personnel, and Carey can't manage the game but both the men's and women's teams are in the regional finals. That's pretty great, right?

I watched both semifinal games. Outstanding efforts by IUP. I never thought the men would pull that off with 3 guys fouling out.

Three fouled out. Hosed numerous times and still won.

Incredible effort

Joe had 'em all the way !!

Just a really poorly officiated game. Hard to believe these are the best officials in the region.

Joe needs to freaking snap on one particular player at halftime. I mean throw crap snap.

This isn't high school. Play like a big boy or sit on the bench.

AMEN!

This should be a very pro-IUP crowd today.

Joe's playing with house money so they should be loose.

Don't forget these two played a closed door scrimmage back in October, and the HCs are friends. So, there is some familiarity.

This could be the first to score 45 wins.

Let's just say you're going to see two very animated coaches tonight. Jay Butler was a joy to watch yesterday.

Tomorrow is IUP's kind of game. Joe can't coach against the up-tempo but he's a master of coaching against the zone.

Not saying IUP will win but this is their kind of game and pace. They better eat their Wheaties and be ready for a brawl. These two played in the Regional a few years ago and it was a street fight.

IUP certainly has a shot. It’s a good matchup for them. In hindsight, it’s too bad Cal and Gannon are on the same side of the bracket. It’s funny how earlier this year we were talking about the possibility of IUP playing Gannon four times on the women’s side. Now suddenly that’s a possibility on the men’s side. Crazy.

As Tony put it on the broadcast, IUP really didn’t have a signature win all year before today. I guess if you’re going to do it, the NCAA Tournament is a fine time. One win in the tournament is a pretty big accomplishment considering how the last couple years played out.

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.
