Party pooper! lol.


I think you're right. That's a cover. Although, they've covered it so long it's basically their song.

Here's one. Best oldie EVER from Pittsburgh ... by a Yinzer band

Wait----isn't this the same Beach Boys song you just gave us a few posts back?

What did Scott English sing? I don't recall the name.

I thought for a minute there you were going to give us some former Rock student Donnie Iris and the Cruisers.

Re: Iup basketball

Nice! I'm a Beach Boys and Brian Wilson fan myself. I enjoy those plus Let Him Run Wild.

Let Him Run Wild is a good one as well. I think those songs were all from the pre-Pet Sounds albums Today and Summer Days (and Summer Nights) in '65. They were great in their own right and then Wilson went and raised the bar that much more for Pet Sounds. No wonder he lost his mind through it all. But what a way to do it.

IUPBigIndians and I saw the Beach Boys at IUP in mid-November. Awesome show. Mike Love and Bruce Johnston were there.

Scott English ... best one-hit-wonder EVER ... my opinion.

Re: Iup basketball

I never cared much for that one. I think that was a cover they did of someone else's song. In the mushy Beach Boys love song genre I prefer "Please Let Me Wonder" and "Kiss Me Baby." Well-constructed songs by some kids from Hawthorne circa 1965. Unreal.

Is IUP playing tonite?

I spent the day watching elementary basketball.

Re: Iup basketball

I sure hope those birdies are right about Malik being back. He's a big part of this team and how far they go!!! I love his style of play!!!

Re: Iup basketball

24-hour rule ....

I watched the ending. Several times.

The UPJ game is gone.

Three weeks ... bring 'em on. IUP at full strength ... UPJ can't beat them. My opinion ... no chance. UPJ celebrated last night.

Can they celebrate again when the lights are bright? Will lady luck be on their side again? Can they beat IUP when IUP is full strength and not a JV team? The final 90 seconds last night were out of a dream sequence. It won't happen again. Sure, the streak ends. Round 3, however, will be the one that counts. It will be in the KCAC. Basketball is a karma sport. Last nights calls won't go the same way. UPJ won't have a walk-on out there to deal with ... rather Malik Miller.

UPJ is a respected opponent. But ... see you again, old friend. Real soon.

Monday night ... wrap it up. End the mystery.

Some birdies are saying Malik will be back.

Re: Iup basketball

When you look at it from there ... IUP could be the No. 8 seed. It does own the head-to-head over Fairmont.

That said, I just can't be confident this team can run the table (and that's getting more and more imperative at this point). With Malik ... whole different story. They don't lose last night. As it was ... that game was 5 on 4 half the night. I hate to say that but it was pretty obvious.

Gannon will also be full strength up there Monday night (they weren't in the first meeting as their top reserve, Webb, was suspended for the game). IUP can win up there but somebody other than Cobo and Glover has to be able to score the ball. Blake going 1-for-7 again last night from outside ... it's just killing the team. Dante being in foul trouble before the first media timeout ... these are the reasons I just lack confidence at this point.

John Reilly isn't dumb. He's going to watch the tape and see what UPJ did last night when Dylan Benton is in the game (they totally ignored him). I'm not picking on Benton. It is what it is. He's a true freshman walk-on. He's all they got. That, of course, is a whole different topic.

With Blake mentally shot, Malik still out, no bench and Dante being such a wild card (especially against strong defensive teams) ... I just don't see how they run the table in the regular season.

If they are still in mix when Malik returns ... things change. But, can they still be in the mix when Malik returns? Malik healthy ... they can play with any team in the Region. We'll see if they get the chance.

They had to close that game out last night. Sixty seconds left and up 6-7 points. Can't lose that game. I really think that's the one that comes back to bite them.

Re: Iup basketball

I'll toss our three opinions in the wash here and see what comes out.

MEC

West Liberty (20-1)

Wheeling Jesuit (18-5)

Fairmont State (17-6)

Shepherd (14-8)

PSAC

West Chester (18-4)

Shippensburg (17-4)

Kutztown (15-5)

East Stroudsburg (16-5)

IUP (18-6)

Edinboro (14-7)

Gannon (15-8)

Slippery Rock (18-6)

CIAA

Virginia State (18-3)

Johnson C. Smith (16-7)

Shaw (15-8)


Of that:

IN:
West Liberty
Virginia State

Next Wave:
Wheeling Jesuit: Worst-case they pick up two more losses (WL in regular season and in MEC Tourn.) ----> Projection 7 losses max
West Chester: Worst-case they pick up 2-3 more losses (likely a stretch). -----> Projection 6-7 losses (has head to head over IUP)
Shippensburg: Worst-case they pick up two more losses --- Projection 6 losses max
ESU: Worst-case they pick up 2-3 more losses --- Projection 7-8 losses max (has head to head over IUP)
Kutztown: Worst-case they pick up 2-3 more losses --- Projection 7-8 losses
IUP: Worst-case they pick up 1-3 more losses --- Projection 7-9 losses
Fairmont State: Likely at least one more loss in MEC Tournament --- Projection 7 losses (they are done with WLU/WJ in regular season)

Deep Bubble:
Gannon: Likely needs to win PSAC Tournament
Slippery Rock: Needs to run table or win PSAC Tournament
Shepherd: Needs to win MEC Tournament
Johnson C. Smith: Needs to run table or win CIAA Tournament
Shaw: Needs to win run table or win CIAA Tournament
Edinboro: Likely needs to run table or win PSAC Tournament

Many teams better pray Virginia State wins the CIAA Tournament. They are in either way. Adding a second CIAA team due to a tournament win ... major problem for many.

Re: Iup basketball

I don't think they'll lose at Gannon Monday but that's my opinion. Gannon isn't good and they are a sinking ship!!!

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Re: Iup basketball

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, boys and girls, but this was the game that will likely keep them home in March.

Seton Hill 2016 all over again.

They'll lose at Gannon on Monday and again in the PSAC Tournament. That will be 8 losses.

As long as Malik is out beating Edinboro will likely be a big task.

The luck finally ran out.


Wonder if Dante knew they only had six players tonight? Can't seem to come up with any other feasible reason he'd commit 3 awful fouls in his first 7-8 minutes and literally sit half the game on a chair?
