Re: Iup basketball

Be thankful this game wasn't on a feed.

IUP up about 23 with 5 mins left.

UPJ took Le Moyne to triple OT before losing.

Like Tom Petty once sang---the waiting is the hardest part. LOL.

Re: Iup basketball

Closer look at The Sciences:

* Off to a 2-2 start with very tight losses to Kutztown and Bridgeport (Tournament team a year ago).

* Held Kutztown star Anthony Lee to just 14 points.

* Sciences has five guys in double digits ... very balanced with no true star. Appears rotation is about 9 deep.

* Always plays extremely smart and disciplined -- and can really frustrate opponents with 'old school' basketball. Think Princeton style.

* IUP blew them out a year ago while in a rebuild season ... almost whole roster is back plus some key additions. Prior to last year the previous 6 meetings against IUP were mostly all fairly tight.

* Not a big team by PSAC standards but they shoot well and don't foul much

* Certainly a game IUP should win. Sciences will win a lot of games this year. Big opportunity for another solid SOS builder.

* Teams often take them lightly then quickly realize they have a problem. Holding Lee to by far his sesson low is impressive. That isn't easy to do.

Re: Iup basketball

Very solid win for Pitt over a Saint Louis team expected to finish near the top of the A-10. Maybe they are better than we thought.

IUP would still crush them.

Pitt on the rise here. 6-0 to start the Capel era. Xavier Johnson is a talent! Now I'm afraid that he might leave school after one year. Goodness, if this group can just stick to together with a few more years of Capel recruiting they may just have something here.

I believe that Iowa is on the slate next. Should be a stiff test. City game is fast approaching as well.

Did you see Creed 2 yet? It was entertaining if nothing else.

Re: Iup basketball

Make it real. Then there's no exhibition excuses. Take a beating you take a beating, but, if you don't, ...

Shoootttt...We can't even get WVU to play a scrimmage against us, and now Pitt is refusing to so the same against IUP! NO WAY either would commit to playing a real game!!!

Re: Iup basketball

That would be quite the double header...WLU v. WVU and IUP v Pitt...but only in an exhibition!!

Re: Iup basketball

Right. 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.

Re: Iup basketball

I 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).

By that same rule of osmosis, Lincoln (PA) would beat WLU since Kutztown beat WLU and Kutztown lost to Lincoln. Heck, same rule would have Lincoln (PA) besting West Chester (WLU lost to Kutztown but beat WCU and Lincoln beat Kutz) Hahahaha!!!
