Iup basketball

Ethan was incredible. Playing 39:45 against that team and going for 35 points. What a career.


I really wish Petteno had another year. I think Joe will regret looking back how he was used.

Stewart played a great game Monday and I thought he was very good tonight. I think he'll be pretty solid next year paired with Garvin, Denzel and Dallis. That's a strong foursome of guards.

Joe was just a couple guys short tonight and still had a shot with 45 seconds left. That freaking banked in Gannon trey was a killer.


Obviously congratulations to Gannon. That's a very good, deep team. Going from 3-23 to this is unreal. Call it a hunch but I think an All-West final is looming.

Incredible effort. One player away.

Makes you wonder if Dallis was here.

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

[Scrub]

They just need to find a way to make it a final possession game and try to steal a win..

Got your wish. HUGE shot by Porterfield.

[Chuck Norris]

Heck of an effort no matter how it ends up.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

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

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Petteno huge trey ... Get him going.

It hasn’t been pretty but in reality, IUP is not in a bad position to start the second half. They just need to find a way to make it a final possession game and try to steal a win. The could have been blown out of the building but somehow they’re back in it.

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.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Feels like a minor miracle only being down 7.

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.

Not a good start

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

Not a good start

As much as I hope otherwise, I just can’t find a realistic path to a win for IUP tonight. 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.
