Re: Iup basketball

Admittedly haven't listened to Cal's broadcasters. A lot of the schools have students doing the game. And you get what you pay for with that I guess. You have to start somewhere. I realize that. I've often been criticized on here because I'm too harsh on those students. Be better then. I think your post here accurately describes what I often see. I think these kids don't think anybody is listening. There aren't any "news releases" or breaking news stories in D2 athletics. How exactly does one come up with that story?

I think a lot of them just make stuff up. I've caught the IUP guys doing that.

The other thing is that most of them are just communications media majors. I'm sure very few are tuned into what's going on outside of their own school. The way the guys calling IUP's games talked about Mercyhurst, you would think the Lakers were a four win team. There's too much emphasis from any of the student announcers on the rankings. Football is where it's the worst. As we've all discussed, those polls are normally way off the radar. The students calling these games put way too much stock into them.

I would sacrifice quality in play by play and color ability if I had two students who knew the game and were in tune with D2 athletics. That's all I want. My personal opinion, but I think the two students who do the games for SRU are actually pretty good.

SRU has the best in the league. That lead guy is very strong.

I actually REALLY enjoyed having no announcer tonight. I much rather liked hearing the crowd, etc. I can't take hearing YACK-I-PO DI-EZ for a whole night.

It was funny how they muted after any controversial call.

Re: Iup basketball

IUP vs UPJ thoughts:

1) Every game Willem is playing his way out of the line up (my opinion).
2) Armoni is playing great for not playing 100%. He definitely doesn't look himself.
3) Chucky is my star of the game. He's earning more minutes and is very athletic.
4) Marco only a few minutes blows my mind.
5) Cobo had a great game but doesn't look himself either with the mobility.
6) Joe loved the D because of all the front court steals but I didn't think it was that good.
7) God the three ball was brutal the first half.
8) Did Joe really say Armoni is better as a freshman than Aston Smith? Joe said Armoni is the best freshman he's ever coached. WOW!!!

Re: Iup basketball

I thought the same. Josh Wise cried the whole game and finally Malik was about to lose it on him. Great job to get him out of there.

Not a player in the league cries more than Wise. It's why the KCAC crowd t'd off on him.

I liked how he got all apologetic when Malik gave him the glare.

Re: Iup basketball

When the buzzer sounded, the scoreboard graphic was very briefly changed to Refs 80 UPJ 67. Nice.

Re: Iup basketball

They must be losing the boards 4:1

Seems like every bounce off the rim goes direct to a UPJ player.
