Wow, "if you don't know your own team you should shut up". Should I make you a jump to conclusions mat? Do you need a nap?

Take it for what you wish but you don't know the players! Period!

Some interesting comments by Joe and Ethan in the Gazette today.

Regardless, hopefully they at least get some humans in the building tonight. I have a feeling there will be plenty of good seats available. Put it that way.

I know a lot of people who are not going tonight (regulars) but are instead going Wednesday for the (likely) IUP vs Cal game (ladies).

You know it's a dandy of a season when the best conversation going is how much a redshirt freshman lawn ornament weighs.

I was thinking the same thing. That’s what it’s come to this year, sadly.

Regarding Romero-Sanz, IUPAlum is right in that we’re all guessing about him. I did see him in a side gym in the Lesley Natatorium during a practice back at the beginning of the fall semester for a few minutes and he looked like he belonged. Granted, it was a very short look because it was a closed session that I probably shouldn’t have been watching. We also don’t know what his academic plans are and what was discussed when he came here. If he’s going to be here for more than four years and knowing that IUP was retooling this season, maybe it made sense to play the long game with him, let him adjust to the environment, etc.

All guessing on my part but this and other similar scenarios are possible.

Some of the people on this board don't even know who the players are! Gabriel-Sanz hasn't played one minute this year. The kid is huge. Sarp has been mistaken numerous times as Gabriel-Sanz b/c he wore his number in the black jersey. If you don't know you're own team, then you should shut up!!!

Nobody has a clue what Gabriel-Sanz can do!

Sarp is a rookie train wreck.

Waldo has skill but yes, he is 150 soaking wet. He should've got more run this year.

Nobody was playing over Bryce. There wasn't one person on that bench to play over him.

I'd like to think next year Garvin will have more to work with so he isn't forcing long balls.


Monday is a hope and a prayer to beat Hurst. Joe has zero answer to stop Planutis and Reichert. Gary has to be salivating at this match up.

There's no mistake. 230lbs no freaking way. And hell no I didn't confuse him with Waldo or Furtan. Have any of you even gone to these games?

This is certainly the matchup Gary wanted. IUP is a mess.

Joe hasn't stopped Planutis or Reichert in four years. He's not going to tomorrow, either. To have a shot, he better shut down the others. He did that in Game 1, not in Game 2.

[Cobra Hawks]

Yeah must have been Waldo.
Cant see Romero-Sanz leaving in the portal. He hasn't even played a minute for IUP and apparently loves it there. Needs to show us what he can do first.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Are you sure you were looking at the right player? He is 6'9 and 230lbs. Time will tell if he can help or not I guess

Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever know. Sounds as if he's leaving via the portal.

But, yeah, Romero-Sanz is a big dude. He may have been looking at Waldo (who is 6'7" but about 175 lbs).

A hand full of shots seemed to toilet bowl spin out of the rim for the hawks yesterday. They need some size next year, Gabriel Sanz isn't it. That kid isn't going to help, saw him up close and it likes like a stiff breeze could blow him over. Obviously Radford can shoot a long ball and I like the kid but dang he was way outmatched and it showed badly. He shouldn't have played many minutes yesterday.

I agree with you on Bryce ... but ... who else is going to play? Sarp has looked like a chicken with three heads the past month. Stewart is in Joe's doghouse. Lambert is wondering around Siberia. That's it. What remains of the active roster is so limited.

This team lacks nearly everything aside from the starting PG and PF. Bryce has to play heavy minutes. There's nobody else.

"Bryce caught the league off guard when he first came back. He's always been a huge liability on defense. At best, he's about 5'11", and bigger offensive players routinely either shoot right over him or blow right by."

This comment perfectly describes the situation with Ship's guards this season.

His numbers the first time through the West vs the second time through are astoundingly different.

Evidence? IUP went an abysmal 2-6 in the second loop, and his scoring average went way down.


Word is about half the Clarion roster is going in to the portal tomorrow. So, a roster of kids on their way out came to the KCAC and won.


Now, this season has been so F-ed up for IUP it actually wouldn't shock me if they win tomorrow. They are due. It also wouldn't surprise me if they lose by double digits.
