Re: Iup basketball

He (Keyes) had so many offers ... I hope if that is the case he stays positive. Sitting as a freshman is one thing ... Sitting out as a junior would really be tough.

If anything he gives a real nice insurance policy if somebody would get injured.

That 2015 team ... still bothers me. That's the ultimate 20-20 look back.

Re: Iup basketball

Joe is a pretty strict adherer to the 8 man rotation and in the article he even makes mention of the "eight guys who will play" so I'd say it's likely Keyes is the odd man out. Who among us thought Danielak was going to sit a year when that signing became known?

That schedule is just....wow. Makes the one they played Norfleet's senior year look like a cakewalk.

Re: Iup basketball

That's surprising about Keyes. I'll be shocked if it happens.


When you dive in to that non-conference schedule ... it's for real.

Findlay: 25-7 last year and whole core returns

Ferris: 28-5 last year and traditional power

Urbana: blah

VA State: 22-6 last year ... ultra athletic ... certainly an upgrade over our typical tournament invitees

(at) Bowie: Defending CIAA champion ... always a tough game

The Sciences: cupcake

Fairmont State: Played in NC last year ... new coach and lost a lot of studs ... has a lot returning. Wherever the game actually is ... won't be easy.


Crossover:

(at) West Chester: Damien Blair has won last two versus Joe
ESU: Always tough
Bloom: TBA ... Christian Mortellite makes it rain when he plays IUP
Lock Haven: Joe says they have best player in the PSAC
(at) Cheyney:
(at) Mansfield: Played IUP tough last year for 35 minutes

Re: Iup basketball

Preview of the finalized roster in the Gazette today. Dom Keyes is a redshirt candidate, the non con schedule is brutal which we knew already and some other pretty interesting nuggets. Street & Smith's has them pegged at #3 in their preseason poll. Joe's not hiding the fact that he expects this team to be very good. Should be exciting. The Small College Classic will be here before we know it.

It is called Bridgewater college. http://www.bridgewatereagles.com/sports/wbkb/index

Thanks for the info. Certainly I recognize Brittany Batts of Gannon WBB fame.

I wonder how many former IUP gals players are currently in coaching? I would have to think on that one.

Re: Iup basketball

Do you remember the name of the school she is coaching at? I'm drawing a blank on it----was it something like Falling Water?? But I don't think that is a school.

Re: Iup basketball

That is great to have her back in the game! She did attend that coaching convention her senior year at the D1 final four. I remember watching her play and was always impressed with her PG position. I read in an article on the colleges website that she is still currently employed with that insurance company plus this college coaching gig. Good for her.

Re: Iup basketball

Both the IUP and Fairmont State web sites are now showing the game in Indiana.

Re: Iup basketball

It was in this afternoon's local edition that former IUP WBB player Marita Mathe has been named as a college assistant coach. And just because I can't recall the name of the school does not mean that I am lying. I believe it is in Virginia. I thought she had a fat job with some insurance company or something. Best of luck to her and great to hear that she is getting back in the game.

Re: Iup basketball

Along that front the women's roster posted.

Tom's got a loaded hand ... it may be a roster good enough to win the last game of the season.

Looks like pretty much the same rooster as last season with the addition of Oduho. I believe that Courtney Storm is no longer on the rooster.

It would be really cool if the IUP gals could host the PSAC and Atlantic Region come next March at the KCAC. That would be very exciting for the community.

Nice problem to have ...

Re: Iup basketball

Who's in your starting five for the IUP men?

I honestly think it will be a match up thing. Dante, Glover and Cobo then the other two I think will depend on the team they are playing.
