Re: Iup basketball

This isn't the Gannon cheerleader message board you guys frequent. You can question why a team loses and not get banned from the site. I'm far from the only poster who questioned why they routinely lost big games for years.

Also an odd comment coming from the Gannon fanbase who wanted John Reilly crucified just two years ago after a 7-25 season but just spent the past month acting like he's the second coming of Christ. There's no bigger fair-weather fan base in this league than the one in the Hammermill.

You guys have bashed GU's women's coach since the day he was hired. He was the original Kevin Stallings.

Please reference an example of 'talking s@it' on an individual player in this thread. When Tom was 2-9 against his rivals ... criticism is going to follow. Curt Cignetti took the same treatment on the football side when he couldn't win big games -- 1,000 times worse.

Tom got ripped on this board 3 times this year. The first Cal loss because everybody was growing real tired of losing to them every game.

Losing to Mercyhurst after beating them by 51 a week earlier brought some heat. Losing to a very average Millersville team at home in the PSAC Final Four also brought some heat.

You didn't seem to mind this board smashing Joe Lombardi this year?

So, if you're just trolling ... there, you got a reply.

We'll be sure to watch GU comments next year when you're rebuilding. Old John T. will need canned again.

Re: Iup basketball

Quick glance at Stonehill:

* 29-3 overall
* Powerful rebounding team ... 44 boards per game. Lot of size on roster.
* Deep offense -- (6) players average double digit scoring
* 70 ppg avg
* Shoots about 33% from deep ... takes about 20 a game. Overall FG% pretty average.
* Despite the relative proximity no common opponents
* Big defensive team ... didn't give up many big numbers all year

IUP got the No. 5 seed and will play No. 4 seed Stonehill.

probably better to be a 6 seed and prolong a match with Ashland

Re: Iup basketball

Ashland has to be a heavy favorite.

I just surfed Ashland's roster. Good Lord they are a bunch of cute blonde girls! They look more like the Swedish Bikini Team.

Re: Iup basketball

Five of the 7 winners so far tonight were No. 1 seeds. IUP was a 3 seed and the other was a 2 seed.

The late game in progress has a 5 vs 7. It will be interesting how they re-seed the Elite 8.

Re: Iup basketball

Haters gotta hate! How was the Gannon WBB program this year?

Yeah, stuff got said about the IUP WBB team the past few years. But guess what? They proved themselves and did a remarkable job!

Nobody can take that away from them!

Re: Iup basketball

Audrey out of game ... Jack and Tony think it's a knee.

Ankle according to the postgame. I caught the second half of the game on the road via the airwaves. Very Big Congrats to Irish Tom and his Lady Crimson Hawks! What an accomplishment to win a region and advance to the Elite Eight. That has not been done with the IUP women's program since 1999. Sounded like Wolosik really tore it up in the second half.

My niece attended the IUP WBB camp this past summer and she really loved the players and coaches that worked with her. Nice to see great things happening to good people!

Re: Iup basketball

Congrats to the IUP ladies! Glad to see a PSAC West team representing the region -- that was the best conference all year. Best of luck in South Dakota.

Re: Iup basketball

I'm guessing the IUP Ladies won the Region?

Way to go....two regional titles in a few months time for THE Indiana University of PA.

Re: Iup basketball

Never saw the kid, would he have been good enough to play here/blend in?

I know years ago that Jaymon Mason was brought to IUP for a work out and Lombardi turned his nose up at him.
