On StubHub right now, the best available single ticket for Rupp Arena is in the upper deck...for $23.

It's a nice luxury. Nights you play an SRU you can go with the big lineup. Other nights the guard lineup.


IUP starts at 7 p.m. tonight and Pitt kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

Not a bad night.

Re: Iup basketball

The football board was atrocious this year. Between Homer/IUP haters and the IUP "fans" that fed into that BS I just couldn't take it. I really felt surrounded by the immature middle school kids I teach. Frustrating!!! I'm ready for basketball. Far better talk here!

Maybe with the normal 3 guards they are a lot faster to run the whole floor. I'm not sure the speed of Kri but I do know Willem and Cobo don't light up the radar gun.

Re: Iup basketball

Yeah, that's true. Who knows. Maybe the notion was considered but they've determined Armoni needs to be on the floor more. That would have been a major philosophical change to Joe's system. It could have just been the team they were playing and the match-ups.

In the team photo ... I think Chuckie is standing on a bucket. Just sayin'

Re: Iup basketball

Why is it risky? A big gets in foul trouble then you go to Humphries or go to the three guard look.

Re: Iup basketball

I was doing some spot reading last night regarding the Bedford County Hall of Fame and came across the name of former IUP player Chuck Collins. Does anyone remember him? He was a standout hoops player from Tussey Mountain High School who graduated in 1982. Perhaps some area fans recall that it was Tussey Mountain who ended a great season for the 1981-82 Saltsburg Trojans in the district playoffs in March of 1982. The Trojans were led by such luminaries as Jeff Fulton (now a heart surgeon), Joe Stevenson, Todd Brosko, Glenn Richards, and Jeff Clawson.

Anyways, Collins was considered a D-I post by some but came to IUP for a few years before transferring to Waynesburg. Later he became a high school basketball coach down in Virginia. Rather sadly and shockingly to me---he passed away in 1997 after a bout with Leukemia. I thought that I would just share that with the board readership and forum members.

Re: Iup basketball

You positive Greg is a walk-on? He's no slouch. I thought he was a scholarship recruit 3 years ago (before taking the last two off). Nice size for a guard.

I know Joe thought very high of him coming out of Kiski Prep.

What was surprising was the starting lineup. Earlier Joe had said he was going with the big lineup. Of course he said that when Keyes was around.

With Ulrich redshirting it's probably risky to play all three bigs at the same time in case of foul trouble.

Re: Iup basketball

This board gets a little fiery when walk-ons like Greg Bearer play extended minutes. But, perhaps that was just a one-game thing. We'll find out tonight. Here's hoping it will be competitive through at least two media timeouts.

Re: Iup basketball

1. Dante, Malik, Armoni, Cobo, Willem
2. Cobo
3a. 3 -- eight-man rotation

And 3b is the impossible part...also, the long-timers might burn the board down when they hear the answer

Re: Iup basketball

So since the scrimmage isn't something that counts for either team and wasn't really supposed to be publicized...let's play some impossible trivia! You won't win. (Keep your answers in the form of questions.)

1. These players were in the starting five.
2. This IUP player had 30 points and 19 rebounds
3a. How many bench players recorded minutes?
3b. This player led the reserves in minutes played.

1. Dante, Malik, Armoni, Cobo, Willem
2. Cobo
3a. 3 -- eight-man rotation

Re: Iup basketball

I saw who they were scrimmaging in a social media post...and then saw the score of the scrimmage from that link a few posts back from the Lexington newspaper. The writer probably wouldn't have otherwise used the score in the story if IUP hadn't just beaten a D-I team. The next paragraph talked about how IUP was somewhat of a Division II dynasty.

Good hint. Good article.
