Re: Iup basketball

* Daunte on back to back days played a lot of minutes on a balky knee. He looked sloppy both days.
* Hard to see what is wrong on the back side of the press watching on the internet but there is glaring holes with it.
* A lot of short shots in the second half... (tired legs)
* Half court man to man D is brutal to watch. You just knew Bloom would get the ball to the rack zone every possession.
* I like Blake offensively but defensively he is to slow!
* Willem is a hack. (always in foul trouble)
* When Brandon, DeVante and Ashton ran the offense you could clearly see what they were trying to do. Daunte looks like a chicken with his head cut off.
* I'd like to hear Joe's opinion of Vaughns right now. He looks good offensively and he can't be any worse than the defense out there.
* Malik is a spark plug off the bench kind of like Brandon Spain was.
Shouldn't Cobo get the ball at the end of the game?

Re: Iup basketball

Physically nobody can play 44 of 45 minutes at a high level.

A lot of things jumped out at me today.

* Dante way too many minutes ... fatigue leads to sloppy play and TOs. They have to figure something out here to get him a breather.
* Press needs a lot of work. If they insist on it Malik and Vaughns need to be a part of it -- speed. Why did Joe stay in it all day?
* I assume the theory was to not let Bloom play their slow-down but they kind of did anyway and routinely broke the press to an easy bucket or still ran the clock to 3-5 seconds.
* Vaughns only 8 minutes
* Hutton got 37 minutes and 4 steals. He does a lot of things well that don't show in box scores. He can shoot, too, but doesn't get many shots.
* Cobo 30 pts and 14 boards ... 10 of 10 at line
* Bloom is a scrappy team and always, for whatever reason, gives Joe fits
* Aside from Cobo rest of team only 5-10 at line
* Malik had some amazing plays today ... and a couple not so amazing. My opinion he should start.
* Keep Willem in the game. After two years of seeing Glover and Dante launch treys teams are smothering them around the perimeter. Pound that ball inside.
* After 6 games I'm still not real clear on the offensive identity
* Blake ... giant trey near the end.
* Wasn't a work of art but a huge, had-to-win game
* I'd love to see the final 8 minutes of play. Just a guess but that's probably never happening.
* How in the world did UPJ beat them by 26 yesterday?
* Thoughts on the play calls at the end of regulation and OT?

Re: Iup basketball

No chance in H E Double Hockey Sticks that shot was good. None.

Jack and Tony the same on the radio after.

That press .... beyond rediculus.

Re: Iup basketball

I'll say this real quick ... Joe is killing Dante and in turn it is killing his play. And, in turn, killing this team.

44 of 45 minutes ...... enough said.

Daunte is good but not 44 of 45 minutes good.

Re: Iup basketball

Frustrating game... I don't understand Joe sticking with the press in the second half when they repeatedly kept getting beat over the top. Bloom had many easy looks at the rim because of it. Defensively, IUP looks horrendous still. These guys are slow, don't move their feet and help side... YIKES!!!

Offensively, this team has a lot of talent BUT they play way to fast at times and unnecessarily turn the ball over.

The tip in shot to end it... ummm, we should probably be in 2OT right now.

I'll take the win.

Re: Iup basketball

Well that was much closer than it should have been...

Will be interesting to see the (always) great analysis by IUPbigINDIANS.

Re: Iup basketball

IUP did move Saturday's game vs The Sciences back from 2pm to 3pm. Football kicks at 12pm.

Re: Iup basketball

Hopefully they get a decent crowd today. I'd guess yesterday was the smallest announced crowd of the Joe era.

They played a solid 32 minutes yesterday. Lock Haven is a good team ... has just played a really tough schedule. They are going to win some big games this year.

It was a nice sign to see Joe spread the minutes better. Willem is coming around. He's not going to have a choice but to play Vaughns more and more.

I don't think he was putting his best team on the floor the first several games.

Today will be interesting. Bloom always plays IUP tough for whatever reason.

Mortelite shot terribly at UPJ yesterday and they got blown out. I'd expect a much better showing today.
