Good game, but not sure why so many guys barely got in the second half?

Did you watch the game??? IUP ran the score up on their bench to start the game. St. Thomas didn't start any of their regulars. The second half was a mess! They had well over 20 turnovers in the game. That's not the time to empty a bench. Secondly, other than Triggs, who do they put in??? Pickens wasn't on the bench today.

Thought you guys had a deep bench this year? Is Joe up to his old tricks of going the season with a 6 or 7 player rotation while the rest of the team gets splinters?

Why did St Thomas do that? I forgot the start time and by the time I turned it on IUP was up 16-4. There was no mention on either school’s game recap other St Thomas mentioning their “bench” outscored IUP’s 57-19. I didn’t watch the 2nd half. And here I was thinking they looked really good against an opponent that’s usually pretty solid.

There was no mention why they did it. All Tony said is that they aren't starting their normal 5.

Yes, Joe is up to his usual tricks. He played 8 guys yesterday and one of the guys off the bench absolutely sucks!!! Luke Triggs got 2 minutes yesterday and was the 9th guy but I don't consider that part of the rotation. Alfonso Pickens wasn't even on the bench yesterday and no word why.. Joe is also redshirting Tasso Sfanos that was a really good player for Carolina Beaufort last year which played in the WL style. I just don't get it???

There is another regular IUP poster that is refusing to post because he's so pissed off at Joe's BS. We're tired of him playing favoritism towards guys like KJ (now a bench coach) and Sarp. These players aren't D2 winners and would barely play at the D3 level. Enough is enough!!!

That’s bizarre. I just read Tony’s substack article and there was no mention of it. I don’t know if he gets any access to the opponent’s coach or if the guy would have told him anything if he had.
