Re: Iup basketball
Did you see Creed 2 yet? It was entertaining if nothing else.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostRight. The first game would be WL beating WVU. Quite the doubleheader.
FACT is, Pitt will no longer play IUP. So, we'll never know. Joe giving them a scare a few years ago and the IUP ladies WINNING the game last year ended that relationship.
Pitt played UPJ instead.

Originally posted by boatcapt View PostI heard that somewhere!! I guess by the rules of osmosis, IUP would beat every team in the A-10 as well?? But only in a scrimmage or exhibition game! Hahahaha!!!

It was a nice win today but let's not forget it wasn't long ago Pitt laughed at A-10 teams (and won like 45 straight against that league).Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 11-21-2018, 02:05 PM.

IUP would still crush them.Last edited by boatcapt; 11-21-2018, 02:02 PM.

Re: Iup basketball
Some early season statistics after four games (small but decent sample size):
Record: 4-0
PPG: 84.3 Opponents PPG: 70.3
FG%: .496 Opponents FG%: .417
3PT%: .360 (32-89) Opponents 3PT% .404 (36-89)
FT%: .750 (63-84) Opponents FT% .796 (43-54)
RPG: 35.8 (versus 32 rpg)
Assists: 64 (16 per game)
Turnovers: 51 (12.8 per game)
Steals: 39 (9.8 per game)
Blocks: 14 (3.5 per game)
Attendance: 1,017 avg / 4 home games
Individual stats of note:
Jacobo Diaz: 24.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 35.5 minutes per game
Malik Miller: 15.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 13 to 12 assist to turnover
Dante Lombardi: 15.8 ppg, 26 to 10 assist to turnover (big improvement), 37.5 minutes per game (too high), 7 steals
Willem Brandwijk: 10.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, .533 FG% (for the type of shots he is taking this needs to improve)
Armoni Foster: 8.8 ppg, 8 assists to 8 turnovers, 7 steals, 27 mpg (increasing each game)
Concerning area's early on:
* Dante's deep shot has been sporadic (10-32 for 31%)
* Giving up (9) made treys a game ... far too many open looks
* FT shooting at 75% is lower than most Joe teams (kept the Va State game way closer than it should have been)
* Rebounding has been about even (when you toss out Westminster) ... need to get more aggressive -- particularly on the offensive glass. Very aggressive rebounding teams like SRU, Gannon and Mercyhurst will cause this team some major problems if not fixed.
* Dante and Cobo are playing WAY too many minutes. Long season. Cobo didn't need to be playing with 3 minutes left against Westminster.
* IUP is about 2 for 30 in its last 30 alley-opp attempts. Time to put that to bed.
* The 'press' wasn't real impressive despite the size, speed and athletes IUP has ... need to keep working it and make it a huge tool for down the road.
* Marko Krivacevic and Chucky Humphries: Starting to see glimpses. Each game they are playing more aggressive. Need to keep the development moving forward.
* Offense is getting kind of predictable. If a team scouts IUP thoroughly they will pick up on a lot of tendencies.
Positive area's
* Cobo has hit elite status
* Malik Miller can do things at guard we haven't seen in awhile. Armoni Foster will be a star.
* The increased depth is huge. Bearer, Chucky and Marko, although not lighting up the stat sheet yet, keep the offense and defense in normal flow. Don't be shocked to slowly begin seeing Andrew Dancsecs.
* Defense, while not great, held Concord, VSU and Bowie to 72, 67 and 65 points.
* Far less erratic play than a year ago
* Willem is a completely different player than a year ago. He's a true presence now that has to be accounted on both ends.
* The 'knucklehead' factor is gone. The team is playing and not talking (nearly as much).

Originally posted by IUP CRIMSON HAWKS View PostThis year's Pitt edition looks to be MUCH improved over last season. Some legit backcourt talent for the Panthers. But I think that we all agree that it is currently a construction site down in Oakland. It's going to take a few years before Capel can build something that will be competitive in the ACC. I think that he can do it.
North Alabama seemed to be a pretty decent team. But I guess we'll have to keep our eye on them to really know. It's still early. 5-0 so far fro Pitt. Only three more wins to equal last year's awful team. Let's hope for the best.
