Re: Iup basketball

The game today wasn't as close as the final score. I think the biggest difference between these two schools is the bench. Gannon gets nothing from the bench players. Until Gannon gets some factor players coming off the bench, they won't get over that hump.

Agree ... It was over late in the first half. Gannon fought hard in the second half and, but it never seemed like they got over the hump to make it seem like they were really back in the game.

The scary part was that GU outrebounded the Hawks and forced 19 turnovers and IUP still won easily.

Hope for a Knights / Hawks III.

Gannon was up 16 in the second quarter but only managed a three point lead at half. Iup missed a lot of open looks in the first half. D Anna was the difference in the post. iup might still be recovering from two tough home losses. They looked like a team that wasn't very confident.

D'Anna needs to get much more minutes! I love those big posts in PSAC WBB!

After nine lead changes and eight ties, the IUP women held on to defeat Gannon 62-57 at the Hammermill Center.

Gannon (5-16, 5-10 PSAC West) got as close as 54-53 with 1:43 left, but IUP (14-5, 12-3) went 8-for-10 from the foul line down the stretch to escape Erie with the win.

Not sure where this particular thread veered course but nonetheless .... HUGE win in the 'Mill. Joe's 19-2. That's quite a record.

But we knew that was the case before they threw up the first ball. It is pretty nice that the ATLANTIC REGION has significant competitors in both MBB and WBB and unlike SR1 no one is looking down their nose at these teams.

California held on to beat Edinboro to move ahead of Seton Hill in the standings (Cal and SHU tied for 6th with a 5-10 record, but Cal currently has the head-to-head tiebreaker over Seton Hill). Also worth noting that Cal swept the season series against Edinboro, which could come into play depending on how the rest of the season plays out.

The VULCANS record may be pretty sad, but this is not a BILL BROWN 8-13 team. The only regret for this season is what MIGHT have been if RAMON CREIGHTON was able to play. My guess is they'd be much closer to a .500 team and not anyone to take for granted in the post season. As it is a lot of positives to take away and they're not done yet. Good job so far by KENT MCBRIDE.

Millersville blew out Shippensburg .... huge upset.

Rock holds Seton Hill to 32 points. Another wow.

Re: Iup basketball

Nice honor for KCAC staffer Jim Klyap today being named to the Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame. He was a longtime educator, coach, and AD in the Purchase Line school district. Congrats to him! Ed Kozar of Blairsville High was also named. He is another who toiled for years to create a better landscape for local athletics. Very deserving that these men should be recognized!

Ten was a generous final number. Joe could have -- should have -- hung a big number.
