    Heck of an effort. Great send-off game for Porterfield. Left it all out there.

    Love of God put Brooks in. Joe's boy is being murdered.

    Consider they are playing 4 on 10
    IUP only has a couple guys who can score.

    Sarp and KJ are getting destroyed. This isn't their type of game. Joe needs to get a little creative with whom he is playing.

    Looked like it was gonna get ugly. Joe is probably pleased with 7 at the break.

    GU has some foul issues.

    I'd sure love to have two more guards.

    Joe has the worst press break in the history of basketball. They are so slow getting the ball in.

I know it’s tournament basketball and upsets happen so there’s always a chance, but I don’t see it with this matchup. For IUP to win it’s going to have to be similar to the game in Indiana where they hung around long enough that they ended up with a chance to win in the final minute. That game never felt close to me but the scoreboard said otherwise deep into the second half. I will say it’s very difficult to beat a team three times but the talent discrepancy from players 1-7 is significant. If IUP does fall, there will be a new PSAC champion for the first time in a long time.
    Yeah this is a very tall task to win in that gym tonight. On paper IUP doesn't have enough. But, that's why they play.

    It was. Mercyhurst (this year) is custom made for this version of IUP. Joe's team is still pretty tough in a half-court game.

    Tomorrow, however, is a different animal. IUP has to survive the runs, and do everything possible to dictate the pace. Joe is at a major disadvantage with his short bench. So, they really need to be careful.

    IUP just needs to relax. Nobody expects them to win up there. Teams playing with house money can be dangerous.
    Tourney ball a team is as good as their last game. Even though Hurst was down this year they are still Hurst and I UP should be commended for their victory.

    As the saying goes, you got to be in it to win it. IUP will have a punchers chance vs Gannon. Couple of your guys get hot and a couple of Gannon's have poor games and who knows. They may just pull an upset!
