I've spent a lot of time in both Louisville and Lexington. Both are awesome places.

Note: I said 'places' and not 'small towns' .... lol.

Right. I caught that. Lol

I believe that Bravado does have a bit of a Kentucky connection as his older son Dom worked in the Wildcat program several years back IIRC.

Anybody know what kind of money IUP is getting for this Kentucky game?

I heard two years ago they got $35,000 from Syracuse and $15,000 from Villanova.


Anybody considering going to Rupp Arena?

Re: Iup basketball

When was the last time IUP played a D3/NAIA/PSU satellite campus? Because I was actually stunned to see Westminster (Pa.) on the schedule.

Speaking of money games, the IUP women's will play a preseason exhibition at Ohio State.

Wonder if Urban Meyer will keep quiet about this, too, if the IUP gals get beat out there?

Re: Iup basketball

I said that last year that they needed to play a true scrimmage like previous years or that Canadian tour they did. You've got to get some sort of game action in before a real game.

They went in to the Findlay game cold as ice last year. No exhibition and Findlay played three. Obviously it showed.

Re: Iup basketball

I think 2011 was the last time.

They scheduled Le Moyne, Fairmont, Bowie and Virginia State. So, yes, the D3 was a bit odd.

Those four games are a gauntlet, the lay up game was a necessity.

Take the lump and the money.

It will sure make Concord and VSU seem slower the next weekend.

I felt not playing one of these last year hurt them.

Re: Iup basketball

It would be hard to duplicate what Crutch does at a major (MAYBE it could be done at a mid major). Your observations are spot on but I would add that his is a "star-less" system. Not that he doesn't have players that become stars (Monteroso, Bonifant, Harris, etc.), but within each game their system is star-less in that every player on the court who get's the ball is EXPECTED to take (and make) the shot if he has it, AND pass the ball if he doesn't (even if it is a "star"). With WLU, opponents truly have to defend all five players because all are equally as likely to take and make the shot if you give them space.
