Re: Iup basketball

As much of a headache and nuisance that train wreck causes, you'd almost want the debauchery to be this weekend. Students would show up LIT AF. Like it or not, that was part of the reason that was such a rabid crowd for the PSAC Championship against Slippery Rock a few years ago.

2013 PSAC title game on the Saturday night of the first IUPatty's...the crowd was LIT AF, as the youths say. Great crowd.

Re: Iup basketball

I saw that. But keep in mind the team that won the two previous is picked to win the third game nearly 100% of the time so how does a 1 in 3 chance of an upset compare to the number of upsets in the first meeting? IUP should win but the style of play makes it a tough opener I think

Sorry if I misinterpreted your original thoughts. I agree, it is not an easy opener and upsets are common at tourney time. Plus at this time of year you never know whose going be sick.
Home crowds are a huge advantage though.

Regionals this weekend and, sigh, IUPatty's the next.

Re: Iup basketball

No, its the beat a team 3 times thing. But the other concern is that WCU plays so physical that IUP is tired for the second game - like yesterday's mercyhurst game, or even worse someone gets banged up. Do we have PSAC refs or others ?

On the other hand, IUP is 5-1 against the teams in its bracket, and 7 - 1 against the Atlantic region field.

Re: Iup basketball

Anybody going to try and go the distance on Saturday? I 'think' I could do it. That said, Mrs. bigIndian may object.

Re: Iup basketball

Here's a stat from yesterday that likely still has Joe smiling this morning:

Mercyhurst was held to 29.3% from the field yesterday and 1-17 from deep.

They made Mercyhurst fight for every point they got yesterday. Armoni and Malik had excellent defensive games.

I think we are all in the same boat. hahahaha Mine would probably do the whole thing with me but she works a half day Saturday then I think we'll make the trip.

Re: Iup basketball

The first game will tip at noon. There will be a break between the afternoon and evening session.

Is that order dictated or does the host choose it?
