Re: Iup basketball

Tom just lost to a team he beat by 51 two weeks ago.

Not much else to say.

Re: Iup basketball

Another IUP loss, is Mercyhurst that good, or IUP that bad?

Re: Iup basketball

Tom up 35-34 at half.

Keep in mind they won Round 1 by 51 points.

Re: Iup basketball

Lol ...

Lil Uzi sold out the KCAC ... then showed up 3 hours late and probably baked out of his mind.

That was a big stink ... half the place left and as word spread he was actually going to show up everybody came back. The KCAC treats concerts like airport security. Once you leave you don't get back in ... no exceptions. I heard it was a near riot students were so ticked off.

I will admit the Beach Boys concert was fantastic. I'd go see them again in a heartbeat. They have two originals on tour but the 'ringers' are fantastic singers.

And, unlike your boy Uzi, they showed up on time !!

Well...they had to be in bed by 10 and make sure they had dry Depends on......

Lol ... IUPALUM will be on Youtube getting attacked by Lakers.

Just make sure none of the IUP players get involved. We don't need any suspensions.

Re: Iup basketball

Correct, that gym is a dump and I'm going to harrass the Hurst players on their home court!

But just don't forget that you have to live up there after the harassing is over with! LOL.

Re: Iup basketball

I expect a good one today. The MAC has been a house of horrors for Bravado over the years.

There are no style wins in there .... just get the W and get back on 79 South. Get home early and celebrate a win.

Re: Iup basketball

Of the big four East teams ... I think Kutztown is fourth. They played a weak non-conference and have the bad loss to Cal. That said they will be in the mix for one of the last spots.

Hopefully Ship takes care of business today and gives them Loss No. 4.

Re: Iup basketball

Re: Iup basketball

The video posted showing the Virginia State after-game brawl ... that could have easily been the IUP/SRU game at the KCAC earlier this year. Luckily several SRU players grabbed their teammate as he was headed toward Row 1.

That's a dicey subject in basketball. The distance from court to heckler ... you're talking less than 3'. Once the first guy goes ... then it gets messy as you see in that video.

It's an interesting element at the KCAC.

The night of the SRU game, the staff let said heckler have free rain for a long time. The SRU bench finally complained and then security came over to 'calm' him down. Near the end of the game it started again and almost ended badly. Luckily some cooler heads prevailed among the other SRU players on the floor. They stopped him instead of following him.

Most places aren't equipped to handle those brawls. You'll see a handful of student 'security' guards on hand. Some places have hired security guards or even hired police on hand. But, when you start talking about guys of this size and strength ... not easy to restrain them if they go off the deep end.

Fans have the right to cheer and talk some smack. I do think there's a fine line, however.

My guess is that VA State incident didn't just happen at the conclusion of the game randomly. It almost assuredly started during the game and then escalated afterward. It's probably a preventable situation if the event staff is actually paying attention.

Go back to the IUP/Gannon football brawl this year. That handshake line NEVER should have happened. When that final horn went the event staff, security and police should have been at midfield between the teams. Ray Charles saw that fight coming. Once it starts ... good luck breaking it up quickly.
