Benton in... he must be playing guys. Benton shouldn't sniff the floor.

Neither scholarship big has played (Ulrich or Diop) yet Benton has ... odd. Porterfield played a good bit. Looks like he's subbing guys every 40 seconds. Lot of new faces to figure things out.

30-25 Elon at half. IUP shooting ... not good.

Shawndale and Porterfield first two off the bench.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Foster, Morris, Chuckie, Miller and Deemo the starters.

Even in D1 Live Stats don't work. Lol. Some things never change.

[IUP CRIMSON HAWKS]

That's actually not them. Those are okay---the Hawks wore them in say about the mid to latter '90s. The ones that I am talking about were like mid to late '80s when they had guys like Dominique and Spud Webb. They were a sweet looking uniform. No idea why they didn't just keep them.

Getting real close now.

They have a pretty good lineup for that opening weekend. WVW and Concord both have some nice players. Concord's coach acted up here a bit last year and got hammered by the crowd. I suspect IUP to win both games but should get tested.

It's a nice weekend. Two basketball home games and a football game.

The ladies are also home both days. Logistical nightmare.

Not a huge fan of the new uniforms.

I kinda like them. But I agree with IUP CH about black not being a color. That's just what everybody does now. Make black the primary color for everything.

Same here. I saw the team photo and just assumed that they must be their practice duds. Why do IUP hoops teams wear black when that is NOT one of our school colors?

I offered the idea several years back of creating some variation of what the Atlanta Hawks wore back in the Dominique Wilkins era. Those were some fine uniforms there.

Slippery Rock??? Wow.

Pretty interesting for sure.

They'll win a lot of games this year but I don't see any postseason activity beyond the PSAC Tournament.

Looking at the roster they have (6) freshmen which means some will have to play. They will have a pretty solid rotation -- strong at the guard position. Amante Britt and Jared Armstrong are very good players. Nik Cazacu is a rising player. If healthy we all know Till can carry them (when they can control the tempo). Depth under the basket isn't real deep.

It's definitely a different look SRU team entering Grady's first full (official) season.
