Re: Iup basketball

Yes, I do remember him being smothered and he still dominated offensively! Defensively, good luck getting to the rim because he blocked everything!

Re: Iup basketball

Since the old stuff came up ... was curious.

Dennis Mims' lone season:

16.6 points per game
11.3 rebounds per game
59.2 FG%
90 blocked shots

For those who remember, recall he was routinely double- and even triple-teamed on most nights.


The other famous one-year import, Rodney Horton:

22.8 points per game
8 rebounds per game

Re: Iup basketball

Just curious - Does anyone know any details about Amir Hinton, who transferred from Loch Haven? Where is he going?

Shawn Dyer not getting any love. One-year guys are tough, though, on such lists. That said, he was awfully good.

Kanaskie era:

1. Phil Crump/Kirk Williams (PG)
2. Paul Newman (SG)
3. Yancey Taylor (All 5 Positions!!)
4. Derrick Freeman (PF)
5. Bert Misenko (PF)

6th man: Jason Bullock (SG)

Re: Iup basketball

Probably need Ayyub Ali on there somewhere. Eddie Peterson was good but he was such an absolute beep for what he did that he does not deserve nor warrant the mention.

Mike Mangel or Eric Castorina??? Eric was the biggest hustle guy ever.

Re: Iup basketball

I'm not old enough/enough of an IUP fan to do anyone but a Lombardi team.

F - Darryl Webb
F - Marcel Souberbielle
G - Thomas Young
G - Ashton Smith
G - Brandon Norfleet
6th man - Julian Sanders
Reserve guard - Devante Chance
Reserve forward - Cobo Diaz

OK, two observations. 1.) Has Cobo had a better career than Marcel? If not, what more does he have to do his senior year (besides wearing a mask -- Marcel got battered around almost as much as Dante) to catch up or pass him? 2.) I put Norfleet instead of Dyer since he was there for three years. He also -- quietly -- is No. 4 on the all-time scoring list. Sure, he was a bit of a volume shooter and 353 points added from his time at Cheyney running and gunning, but still I didn't realize he was that high up there.

Re: Iup basketball

Edwards era (from memory ... probably will forget somebody obvious):

PG - DeWayne Anthony or Wes Layton. Tough call.

G - Rodney Horton

F - Dennis Mims
F - Mike Beckles
F - Steve Menifee

Bench
G - Keenan Holmes
G - Geoff Evans
G - Sly McIntosh

Re: Iup basketball

Cobo vs Marcel is interesting. Story not all told yet, however, as you say.

Marcel doesn't get the love he probably deserves. He had some awfully big games here.


No Mathis Keita or Anthony Glover? Tough choices to make.

Shouldn't it be the All-Edwards state pen team???

Re: Iup basketball

We watched the Tarleton State game huddled around the sports editor's computer in The Penn office of the HUB. I remember Joe -- who rarely gets technicals for all the abuse he gives refs -- got his first tech of the season. IUP turned a big deficit into a big lead (I just looked up the play-by-play; A 45-35 deficit turned into a 58-51 lead over the course of eight minutes) and never looked back. Also, this great tweet from IUP President Michael Driscoll: "Tarleton State cheer squad came out with flags arranged to spell TEXNAS. Hm."
