Re: Iup basketball

These refs made this game hard to watch.

Re: Iup basketball

Whoever the kid is that's doing the color for this game from IUP, he's new, keep him. He's good. It's clear he understands the game and has watched IUP basketball.

We're very critical of those guys normally, but that kid is good.

Appears stretch internet is down. Disappointing.

Edit: It is now working.

Re: Iup basketball

Always get pretty excited for the first XMAS Break game of the season at the KCAC.

The atmosphere is typically somewhere in between Tuesday Night Bingo at the senior center and Stapleton Library.

I haven't seen a peep out of IUP to promote the game other than the notification of the time change.

Traditionally for this last game before the holiday they give out piles of free tickets all over town. Hopefully that was the plan for tonight.

They will need a little crowd boost tonight in my opinion.

Up Next : West Chester visits the KCAC Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m.


Record: 2-1 PSAC / 6-4 overall (all four losses have come on the road)

Wins: Chestnut Hill (3-6), Bowie State (5-5), Holy Family (4-4), Edinboro (3-4), California (2-6), Williamson School of the Trades (1-9 D3)
Losses: West Virginia Wesleyan, West Liberty, Wilmington, Slippery Rock


Stats:

PPG 80.8
FG: 44%
3PT: 34% (hitting about 9 a game)
FT: 66%
Rebounds: 44 per game (opponents 33 per game)


Notes:

* (11) players averaging double figure minutes although two extreme blowouts (Edinboro and Williamson) likely skew the stats a bit
* Three scoring in double digits: Jackson Hyland (17.6), Malik Jackson (15.7) and Frank Rokins (11.4)
* Senior guard Matt Penecale has missed five games but did play 36 minutes in the teams last outing
* Malik Jackson is a major deep threat. On the year he's shooting 37% on 83 attempts. Recall he smoked IUP from deep as a true freshmen a couple years back.
* WCU has been turnover-prone at times -- four games with 18 or more
* Team is living and dying with the deep shot. Follow the pattern in the four losses: 5-for-20, 8-for-23, 6-for-30, 5-for-23
* Very sporadic at the FT line ... some real good games (92%) and some real bad ones (52%)
* Nice size on the roster. Tim Toro is only getting 21 mpg but is very effective, strong and physical
* No wins yet against teams with a winning record


The Rams are actually kind of a hard team to figure out based on their body of work to this point. Picked to win the East, there's no way not to call this a disappointing start. They've looked real good at times and not so good at others. There is a ton of talent on the roster. WCU has won the past three in the series dating back a few years. Watching Joe Lombardi and Damien Blair go at each other (usually starts within minutes) is an entertaining sideshow.

I fully expect this to be a tough game. West Chester has had nearly two weeks to prepare for this game. That long of a break can help or hurt. The Rams have shot the ball incredibly well in the past three meetings against IUP. The Crimson Hawks are coming off several emotional games in a row. They have to find a way to turn it up one more time before they get a long break. Hopefully they can get at least 1,000 or so in the building.

Re: Iup basketball

The IUP men have done fantastic thus far and should be lauded. I guess just to give your supporting data a high degree of validity we need to know the exact level of competition that each of those schools have faced. After all, tis the season to bring in the creampuffs and line up the tomato cans.

I think that the Maryland Eastern Shore team that Pitt beat yesterday might have a hard time beating a team made up of this forum posters such as myself, IUPBigIndians, IUPalum, Chuck Norris and IUP24. They were that bad. LOL.
