Iup basketball

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

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.

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?

Re: Iup basketball

I agree BUT I'd rather play them than ESU which I'm gathering was the other option. I'm sure ESU got the 7 b/c they won the EAST. Beat WCU then beat Hurst or FSU like this past weekend. I think they will be fine as long as they take it one game at a time.

I agree as well, but was hoping for Fairmont in the first game. ESU will be a tough out in this tournament, especially since Ryan Smith has matured over the year, he will be a beast in a couple years.

West Chester isn't an easy Round 1
