I'm beyond upset that there isn't a way to watch this game from Columbus. Beyond upset. Yeah, I know.. I can listen to the radio broadcast, but it isn't the 50s anymore. Give me a stream to watch the game.

Re: Iup basketball
Fairmont jumped to No. 2 in this week's poll. To my knowledge, they will be the highest ranked team to ever visit the KCAC.
Joe got 9 days to prepare. Fairmont is playing twice this week -- including Saturday. IUP is idle all week (finals) leading up to the Monday night (Dec 19) showdown. I'm not sure either has an advantage. One could be rusty. One could be a bit tired. If anything IUP will have them pretty well scouted.
This is a pretty interesting game full of several high-profile individual match-ups.
It's a tough date. Hopefully the town shows up strong. The students will be long gone.
Credit to both teams for taking the game. There are clearly much easier non-conference opponents.
IUP doesn't lose at home often. Joe wins big games. It should be quite a show.

Re: Iup basketball
Let us not forget Tom's Catholic School team won its 6th straight today. Tom won big today.

Re: Iup basketball
I don't totally agree they lack length. They have some big boys. Cobo is 6'9", Danielak is 6'7" and Cottrell is 6'8". They don't have an enforcer.
They got butchered in post points tonight. This group also fouls and fouls and fouls and fouls and fouls.
They are 10-1. They find ways. But this crap has to be cleaned up.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 12-10-2016, 09:14 PM.

Re: Iup basketball
Worst defensive team in the Joe era ... not counting his first team.
They should beat these teams by 35 points. If that bone head from Mansfield didn't get the technical late .....
If tonight's team shows up next Monday ... Fairmont will blow them outta the KCAC.

Re: Iup basketball
I've been saying it all year with the IUP men, they don't play good enough defense and turn the ball over way to much.
I finally got a chance to listen to coach Lombardi's post game interview and low and behold, he said the same things I've been saying. They lack length this year so that is hurting them a little bit but positioning has been brutal! They better get a good week of practice in or Fairmont St. will destroy them.

Re: Iup basketball
I was looking at Mansfield's page and noticed Jeremiah Worthem hasn't played since they beat Duquesne in the exhibition. He went off against the Dukes (25 points, 10 boards).
Anybody know what the deal is ... he's still on the roster. Hurt, I assume?

He just makes too much happen. Living with the sporadic moments may be worth it. He's probably one of the best defenders in the conference.
I'd like to see the starting unit be Glover, Dante, Spain, Cobo and Cottrell. Hutton, Danielak and Miller play the sixth man role. Hutton, my opinion, may be more effective as the sixth man in the right combination.
I know Joe likes Spain in that spark plug role but he's too good not to be getting 25-30 minutes a game. Their press is average when he's not in ... very good when he's in. Their defensive numbers are also much better when he's on the floor.
As a whole this hasn't been a great defensive team so far. Joe's words ... not mine. Keep the Flock calm.
They are finding ways to win. Lots of contributors. Last year's team would probably be 5-4 right now compared to 8-1.
Danielak has slumped a bit. He's a big piece and opens a lot up when he's hitting shots. He has a nice shot ... just needs to shoot his way out of it.
The Flock of Joe supports your assertion here. Sustained!

Some great IUP hoops action photos from Sunday in today's local edition by Indiana Gazette photographer Kevin Stiffler. Very nice.

That's a huge win for the IUP men. Cottrell the hero. I see no double figure scoring for Cobo nor Danielak.
IUP gals make it five in a row. 20 for Appleby and 18 for Robinson. This team is on a roll.
Congrats to both teams and way to unleash hell in December!

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostI don't recall a men's weekend at the KCAC with two bigger games.
Shippensburg (5-0) and No. 9 Kutztown (6-0) ... I know we hear a lot about "it's only November/December" ... well, how'd that theory work out last year.
Both of these teams, in particular, aren't going away and will be viewed as (hopefully) big wins come selection time.
Some notes on Ship:
* 5-0
* Tomorrow at KCAC will be first road game
* Led by 6'8" forward Dustin Sleva (20.8 ppg & 12.2 rebounds per game) & guard Antonio Kellam (16.2 ppg)
* Opened season with two Penn State branches
* Next three games were all blowouts -- 20 points over Rock, 32 over Edinboro and 18 over Wilmington
* Defensively, the Red Raiders smothered Edinboro star Jaymon Mason ... holding to just 6 points
* Obviously the Fite connection makes them very aware of Joe's philosophies on both ends
* Came on very strong at end of last year
* A recruit I really wanted IUP to get, Daylon Carter, isn't playing much (6 mpg)
* Most points allowed (73) against Boro -- very impressive defensive numbers to this point
* Certainly a case can be made they haven't played a good team yet
