    To be fair most teams don't really guard KJ

    Planutis and Reichert have shredded them for four years running the same two plays.

    They must get actually start to guard KJ instead of leaving him wide open

    (4) treys by KJ and (1) by Sarp.

    I doubt this is sustainable. But, it may need to be. Lol.

    How in the world IUP is down just one at the half is literally amazing. Lol. Unreal.

    IUP's defense is sooooo bad.

    Planutis may go for 45

    The other thread got me thinking a bit.

    The teams Joe has lost to this year have a combined 101-18 record -- all are either NCAA locks or highly in contention.

    -
    Opponent Opponents' Record
    Concord 14-4
    St. Thomas Aquinas 17-3
    Walsh 14-4
    East Stroudsburg 19-2
    Gannon 19-2
    California 18-3

    Of those, they shouldn't have lost the Concord game. They blew that one. The Walsh and California games they were in until the final minutes. ESU was the fisrt game after Dallis got hurt and Garvin Clarke didn't play. That scenario had trainwreck written all over it. They may have lost regardless but it would have been much more competitive. St. Thomas Aquinas and Gannon beat the hell out of them. As of now, IUP's best win came on the road against a pretty solid Lock Haven team.

    Every year we hear people say those early games don't matter. LOL. They sure as heck do. Joe took three early losses -- that will almost asuredly come back to haunt this team on Selection Sunday.

    Believe me, I have no delusions of grandeur with this years' team. It has way too many flaws and not enough able bodies. Well, it still might have enough able bodies, but they don't count if they never take off their warm-up jackets (and, that's a different discussion). It would have been much better with a healthy Dallis Dillard and Denzel Kabasele - the latter we never got to see as he was lost for the season in camp.

    To make the NCAA field, I think they'll need to upset either Cal or Gannon (along with not having any slip-ups). Along with the two big ones, two very difficult road trips are looming. The first comes tomorrow at Mercyhurst. The second is in a couple weeks at Morrow Field House. Not only has IUP struggled at Morrow in the past, but after the beating IUP dropped on them two weeks ago, they will be seeking blood.

    To be honest, it's quite amazing IUP is 14-6 right now. Joe barely lost to Cal without playing Brooks a second (mind-boggling) and Petteno missing the game. For the crowd who thinks we harp on the KJ issue too much, last week at Clarion, Joe finally played Brooks (for 11 minutes). His 11 minutes worth of stats crushed KJ's 29 minutes worth of stats. No math genius here, but, well, it's obvious to all but apparently one person. Clarion's offense was completely altered with Brooks in the game.

    The big guy has to go Brooks/Petteno at the 4 the rest of the way. It's their only shot. He can still get KJ his minutes here and there, but to elevate this group from a good team to a, well, much better team, the move needs to be made.

    You've fallen into his trap. Trick is not to engage. It's the joy of being a fan to have a little moan now and again when losing and revel in the glory when winning.
    Anyway, moving on. What's this about Tomiwa??

    IUP came out of the recent four-game stretch pretty good. The Crimson Hawks went 3-1 and were certainly in the California loss much longer than most anticipated. Take that technical away and who knows what may have happened.

    IUP currently sits as a likely bubble team for the NCAA Tournament. But, that's a long way from now.

    The next four games:

    at Mercyhurst

    Gannon

    UPJ

    at Edinboro


    Don't overlook Wednesday night. Mercyhurst, I promise, will not look like they did at the KCAC last month. IUP has had (like most) many issues in the MAC over the years.

    Gannon Part 2 will probably be similar to the first game (although I'd guess a little closer). IUP has nowhere near the depth to keep up -- at home, on the road or on the moon.

    UPJ is in shambles but recall IUP barely escaped Johnstown. Rukavina knows everything Joe does. I don't expect this to be as close as the first one, but they'll put up a fight.

    The trip to McComb should be interesting. Round 1 was a pretty entertaining game. IUP controlled it for the most part but things could be different up there.



    They really need to come out of this next stretch at 3-1. Anything else and the NCAA dreams likely evaporate. The CIAA gets a guaranteed spot and there are too many other teams ahead of them. I will fully admit I'm shocked we're even loosely discussing this team being on the bubble into February given all the issues they've had to overcome.
