Iup basketball

[IUPalum]

He has a roster than can run ... and he's making it play his beloved turtle ball.


Hey, he built this roster. He's gotta deal with it.

This is exactly what I've been saying to you. He built an AAU run and gun squad. You might as well let the runners run!

Pickens, Kymani, Herring and Moore can fly. Grove and Damir run well, too.

They aren't half-court players.

When he finally caves, they will take off.

I can promise you Damien Blair is licking his chops. He's been waiting to bash Joe for a long, long time.

IUP better be ready.

I was expecting a split this weekend. I wasn't expecting a loss tonight, however.

Joe's Postgame:

1) Pickens has earned more minutes.
2) Shepherd should have back up clocks but it didn't effect his coaching.
3) Joe said, "I need to learn how to coach this group of men. This isn't my teams from the past."

Backup clocks?

Backup clocks?

The shot clock went down at least 6-7 times (maybe more) in the first half. Some of the delays were several minutes each.

Betting line in Indiana today is IUP +13.5


Big number.


If IUP has the same game-plan as last night, ... may lose by 30 today.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Worst rebounding team at IUP in 35 years.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe needs to look far and wide for a mid-year post player.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Joe lost the glass 28-11 in the first half.

Is Triggs worse than KJ?

Is Triggs worse than KJ?

They can only pray Dallis is ready after this upcoming break. Joe has a couple guys who shouldn't even be playing. They aren't ready.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

If they could rebound - at all - they'd be in the game.

It's going to be a long, long season.

I really hope people aren’t thinking that Dallis is going to come back and be a big difference maker. The kid is coming off a major injury and regardless of his ability, it’s going to take a bit from a timing, conditioning, and confidence standpoint. He’ll help from a maturity and experience perspective for sure though.

This is a young…very young team. On top of that they’re thin. I’m sure it’s not the group Joe wants out there, and definitely not for that many minutes for some of those guys. He really has no choice but to play the cards he has. How the roster ended up the way it did is open for discussion but as far as the current version of IUP men’s basketball, they’re going to take some lumps and hopefully be better for it in the long run.

Dallis can rebound. The rest of the team cannot (aside from Damir). If that's all he brings, that's something.
