Iup basketball

Re: Iup basketball

Well ... it is drastically more than half empty every game. So, there's that. That's getting pretty tired, too.

That is a beautiful facility , probably one of the finest in D2. I like the fact that it can also serve as a convention center. I am continually surprised by the relative lack of support of local fans, given the high level of play by teams like IUP, WLU, etc. It is a bargain compared to many D1 teams. However, I thought the IUP support by locals was much stronger than WLU, with some very rabid and vocal fans. It is just that the venue is so much bigger.

The guy frequently yelilng i-u-P! i-u-P!had a subliminal effect, in that I had to go to the men's room 3 times in each half LOL

Re: Iup basketball

Sure, the police station is right across the street but I don't see news editor Jason Levan or executive editor Eric Ebeling having the power to make sure the PD doesn't send out a news release. About the backup point guard on the IUP men's team.

Although it is funny to think Armoni stole a candy bar. Maybe he should have chewed it over with a Twix.

IUP24 is talking about the DeVante cover-up (not Armoni).

I always thought that was fishy. It did end up being in the paper...eventually. And in the end the charges were dropped and Devante wrote a letter to the community in the summer. So it's not like Tony C. buried these stories by himself and it's crazy to think he would have that power. Since The Penn didn't run anything until yesterday, that leads me to believe there was a holdup by the police. The Penn has no reason to protect anybody.

In the DeVante apology article that summer, Tony straight up said he knew about it the night it happened. Two players -- one a star -- got arrested in a drug raid in Indiana and it wasn't newsworthy until 6 months later?

Even at that, it was buried in the Gazette after IUP was gone for summer. Somebody caught it and then it blew up on here. IUP (and/or the Gazette) couldn't hide it any longer. Way more people read the crap on this board than most realize. Lombardi (to this day) has never commented on that night (or why his players played the following night).

And, of course, six months later all charges against Chance and Yarde were dropped.

That's why, like it or not, Armoni and his candy bar is almost laughable. After a couple days you'll never hear about it again. Trust me.

You were a student when the Devante Chance story broke. Just like I was.

You really think an employee of The Indiana Gazette would help bury a story in The Indiana Gazette for the benefit of the men's basketball program? The incident happened Feb. 20. It was in yesterday's Gazette. The Penn also didn't run it until yesterday. Which means, no, it wasn't buried. The docket or fax didn't make it out to the media until yesterday or two days ago. That's how police reports work.

And since we're talking about Indiana County DA Patrick Dougherty: https://thehawkeyeonlinenews.wordpre...otball-at-iup/

Re: Iup basketball

Actually now that I think about it the DeVante Chance incident also went down the night before the Clarion game that year. Both him and Manny Yarde played the very next night (and the rest of the season). Many feel that was the reason Yarde transferred at the end of the season -- a VERY rare occurrence for a 'rotation' guy under Joe Lombardi.


So, the question becomes, why aren't these guys getting sat down in the immediate games after they get in trouble?

And, don't even consider tossing out the 'maybe Joe didn't know about it' line. If you really think that you haven't spent any time in Indiana or near that program.

Do you want to hear the politically correct answer or the real answer?

I always want the REAL answer!

I suppose the DeVante Chance story took 6 months to make it the fax machine, too, huh?

Re: Iup basketball

Tony C. has to pull some weight. This crap should never hit the local media.

Re: Iup basketball

Feb. 20 was the night of the snow-cancelled Clarion game. They played the next night instead. Armoni played 24 minutes in that game.

Re: Iup basketball

He's also innocent until proven guilty. We'll have to wait and see.

Good point. Hopefully he will plead not guilty and be found innocent.
