Re: Iup basketball

Joe said on his radio show this morning that as of now the game is still on ... but it's up to Clarion being they have to travel and it's a little rough up in their location.

The heavy snow has stopped ... mainly just flurries now.

Bravado Joe got a big gift tonight. Win out ... just win out.

True ... I've always thought of them as more of a Mountain East style school in the mostly slow-it-down PSAC West.

Slippery Rock will be intersting to follow in the coming years now that the JUCO Godfather has left town. Hard to gage this year because Grady is working with a KR designed roster.

They play different than most PSAC schools. They get out and run more than most and they play D. No grinding it with them. That's why I thought Chucky being out that was perfect. His length and athleticism was the perfect formula.

Re: Iup basketball

I'll add one thing to last night ...

UPJ is going to be a problem next year. That whole team is back and will only be better.

Add to it they will get guard Drew Magestro back ... who sat out this year with a knee injury.

Re: Iup basketball

Yes. He was a small forward at Sienna and was projected to be a big shooter for them. He had injury problems there. Last year was his first season ever playing a power forward role.

He's a strong guy. We've seen flashes of it. He just needs to cut it loose. His best game all year was at Fairmont. He dominated the glass. Granted, they are a much smaller team than he sees in the PSAC.

The talent, size, speed and strength is all there.

Re: Iup basketball

Willem is a slow it down type a player. IUP needs to speed it up! Hence Chucky and Marco being so versatile.

Re: Iup basketball

Amen. Willem in spurts. Big dunks. Spark. Couple blocks.

Chuckie starts for 95 percent of the PSAC right now. He's just got Cobo in front of him. Go with both. UPJ had no chance once Joe went with that Chuckie and Cobo fast lineup. They got rattled on both ends. Willem has become far too easy to scout. He'd be way more effective in spurts. Chuckie just adds a whole different dimension.

What took Joe so long to make the switch tonight ... no idea. Stubbornness, perhaps. The Marko thing is becoming a joke in my opinion. Guy can ball and he's a physical mismatch in D2. Let that dog ride.

Willem is needed and can be very beneficial to the team. But, I think we all agree they'd get way more out of him in 12-14 minutes versus 25 minutes. He was getting smoked tonight. His confidence seems shot. That fire is missing. He has to get pissed off in there.
