    Iup basketball

    Correct. The PSAC and the NCAA would always set the postseason ticket pricing for the conference and regional tourneys respectively.

Actually, the $12 the KCAC charged to get into the men's region wasn't all that bad. That is probably about the price of their cheapest ticket they offer during the regular season or real close to it. I liked how it was general admission for the event. IUPBigIndians and I have been saying that is how it should be for years now. Maybe have the bottom tier reserved if you want to do that.

    I recall the price of the 2008 women's Atlantic region hosted at the MFH was $5 to get in per night. But the damage has already been done with fans throughout the area regarding the KCAC. Many of them will avoid IUP basketball at all costs after everything.

    Yeah, I'm guessing maybe around $12 or $13 or so for the cheapest. You can get Pitt tickets to see D-I teams for like $12-21.

    I have no say in any of it----just merely trying to offer the explanation to some of these fellas on why folks don't want to come out and support the team like it should be supported.

But let's realize that the biggest problem why there are not more fans there to support the IUP teams is the KCAC management and the prices of IUP basketball games there.

    I more or less harped on this very subject until I was blue in the face the past bunch of years. Trust me---the people of the surrounding Indiana area are completely unwilling to pay these prices. I have said that time and again. You see what it has done to the support of our teams in these big games when you all correctly surmised that there should indeed be a big and enthusiastic crowd there to lend their support. I'm personally finished with the subject. But there really does need to be some reforms in how the KCAC is run and how ticket prices are set. I think you all saw that first hand.

    It's crazy when you can basically get into a Pitt game for close to the same price as a D-II game in a rural county. There is something really wrong with that.

    And what happens in a few more years when the old guard finally is diminished by time and fate? I believe that I began attending IUP hoops games on a regular basis in 2002. I was astonished at how many good folks that we lost in my time as a fan there. Yeah, and the thing is that there is simply not enough of the younger generations to take their place. Things will only get worse from here out.

    But like me and IUPBigIndians always laugh about----what was the actual PAID attendance for those games. LOL. Students would inflate the numbers some but so would churches and community organizations passing out scores of free tickets. Yes, this sort of thing does happen.

    And like I said----the $12 to get in the door for the tourney event actually wasn't that bad considering usual pricing for the KCAC. You're correct---lots of games and not to mention quality teams.

    My point is simply that the KCAC has alienated countless numbers of folks from around the area. Remember that one time we figured it out on this forum that for a family of four to attend a regular season game at the KCAC could cost in excess of $100+. Most local yocals are not interested in that.

    Is there word that Dancses might not come back? I know there is usually turn over after every season.

    Is Ulrich as good as I'm hearing?

    Is Dom Keyes even around the team? Didn't see him at any recent games.

    On film Radford looks like Dante.

    Porterfield has been on fire during the HS playoffs. He could fill a Cobo role.

    What do we know about Glover? Anything?

    Danscecs can shoot but his D needs a lot of work. Is he good enough?

    Known roster as of now for 2019-20:


    Guards

    Malik Miller
    Armoni Foster
    KJ Rhodes
    Bryce Radford
    Anthony White
    Drew Danscecs

    Post

    Dom Keyes
    Shawn Ulrich
    Chucky Humphries
    Ethan Porterfield
    Alan Glover Jr.

    I count (7) scholarships there. So, Joe likely has 3 full rides to give. White has earned at least a partial in my opinion.

    I'd add one guard and one post transfer for sure. Ready to play, Day 1 guys. The last one could go either way.

    This assumes Keyes finally appears. By all accounts he is returning.
