I'd call them playing tonight a toss-up right now. It sounds like Indiana is going to get his fairly good today with bad weather.

The announced gate was 999 ... pretty dull crowd.

That holiday break being 6 weeks is just a killer. You take out the cheerleaders, dance teams and students and it just gets pretty lame in there.

Well, at least it is conference wide so all the schools have the same issue.

Women's final: IUP 89 Mercyhurst 38

Geez oh man.

IUP win 100 for Irish Tom.

Looked like an awful lot of empty seats in the arena as evidenced by the pictures of the game in the local edition.

Re: Iup basketball

Those Mercy games are tough to watch. Add to it that ref crew that calls EVERYTHING and it's a miserable watch.

Take the win and move along ....

The travel calls were unreal... Just wish they would have called those both ways.

Re: Iup basketball

I now see it with Vaughns... he doesn't know where to be when he is on the floor. My issue now is, why doesn't Joe get him on the floor more like he did today to work on figuring it out when there is a cushion?

Re: Iup basketball

KCAC nemesis Gary Manchel is in town with his Triangle and Two zone defense.

I don't expect the Lakers to get thumped two straight. Slippery Rock hung 20 on them Wednesday night.

That defense is really designed to take away a 'star' player (like a Brandon Norfleet type). This version of IUP is pretty balanced although Anthony Glover is emerging as the star.

That SRU showing was a bit rare for Mercyhurst -- giving up 77 points. Entering the game that were at 62 ppg defensively.

I like IUP to win today but expect a good fight. Manchel has had some big wins against Joe in the past.

If Manchel wants to take Glover out, then there is no doubt in my mind that one of the other guys are fully capable of scoring with the great open looks they will get out of that garbage defense. A guy like Cobo could thrive with all the short jumpers he could potentially get if Glover is the target. Last year, if I recall correctly, Manchel went to more man to man defense against IUP because of the spread out scoring they bring to the table. We'll soon see.

Re: Iup basketball

FYI

The men's and women's games scheduled for tomorrow night have been changed to tomorrow afternoon. The women's game will start at 2 p.m. and the men's game will start at 4 p.m.

Weather-related change.

Re: Iup basketball

I tell you what, I have no idea what to make of the men's team this year. One game they seem to be doing very well, the next they come out flat. Glad to see a change at the half, but it would be interesting to find out the dynamic of that locker room...

As for the ladies, this looks to be a very solid team. I am looking forward to seeing how they do against Edinboro and CalU.

Looks like the IUP gals got a bit of leg up on Cal if reports of Seairra Barrett being shut down for the season are correct. Certainly bad for her and bad for Cal but good for IUP as they fight to win home court for the conference and region tourneys.
