Freshmen team clobbering IUP on boards.
Hawks 4 of 16 on treys. Maybe not shoot so many? Three came in a one minute burst by Dante.
Marko 3 mins. No comment.Leave a comment:

Yearly special treat tonight. The UPJ annoucing team is one of a kind. If you don't remember ... you will.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Five games remaining.
Good news: Double-digit favorite in all of them. No more wrestling match types. IUP can run-n-gun in all of them.
Bad news: UPJ is the only remaining opponent with a record above .500 ... in total, the last five have a combined 39-67 record
IUP's metrics are going to take a little hit but they can't control that at this point. They have to go 5-0. No exceptions. West Liberty has (6) games remaining -- three of their opponents have a record above .500
Between now and the end of the conference tournament, I could see both IUP and WL losing another game. On the other hand, both will be the favorite to win their tournament. Like it or not, those metrics could determine who hosts the Regional. I'm pretty confident as of right now IUP will score better in the metrics, but this next stretch of bad teams (after tonight) won't help.
One category which should help IUP is the 'record against regionally ranked teams'.
They both have to avoid one of those famous late February upsets.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Couple observations on today's game:
* When Malik is in that zone he's a top player in the region
* Won the glass by 10 boards
* Shot 50 percent from the field and a sizzling 66 percent in second half
* Armoni is in a little funk and Bearer is rusty (as expected)
* Little too much 'hot dog' at times today. Three-on-one break resulting in a Dante charge can't happen.
* The Joe 'law of averages' defense gave up too many easy treys today.
* Luckily done with the 'Reilly type' teams for awhile. They can run-n-gun the next 5 games to end the season.
* If IUP ever adapts the Gannon offense I will turn in my fan card. Brutal to watch. Sympathy for their fans ...
* Gannon has more assistant coaches on their bench than dressed players. For real ... who needs 43 assistants? All scream in unison for 40 minutes, too. I mean, scream.
* Best wishes to Porter. Total fluke accident. Chuckie isn't remotely that type of player or person.
* Hard to tell from the feed but it appeared the GU ladies had a larger crowd than the men.
* Joe travelled 12 times today on the bench. GU announcer said they didn't call one of them.
* Take any win you get in the Hammermill.
* GU is in a legit battle now for that conference tournament spot.Leave a comment:
