Iup basketball

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Some other oddities last night:

* IUP won despite star PG Kymani Merraro finishing with ... 0 points in just 18 minutes.

* West Chester was 2 of 19 from outside

* The two games this year IUP was called for the most fouls? Both West Chester games (24 & 28). Season average is about 15-16.

* The first WC game, Ian Herring played 17 minutes, scoring 2 points and grabbing 1 rebound.
Last night, Herring played 35 minutes, scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Add to it he had a massive block in the waning seconds.

Ian Herring !!!!!!!

Where's he been all year, Joe?


Harry the closer !

I was thinking about going…but you all said they weren’t that great. Then I wasn’t feeling that great..still not today.

It felt like the end of an era.

Maybe it was.

Maybe everyone can’t afford tickets since gas prices went up…

No other way to put it, the athletic department should be embarrassed by the lack of fans, no band, no dance team, etc. IT WAS A PLAYOFF GAME!!! At best there was 150 fans.

Who runs it again? A Slimey agent.

Funny stat:


Free Throws

IUP was 11 for 15

West Chester was 28-36

AND 3 of those IUP missed free throws were by the PSAC leading scorer Dallis Dillard.


Nobody is talking about it but that game winning shot came on the halftime buzzer beating 3 pointer from Ian Herring.

Here's the thing: this is the least aggressive IUP team in 20 years. WCU plays playground basketball.

IUP fouls - 28
WC fouls - 18


It was a travesty. Total embarrassment for the league to have three idiots officiating a big game.

Ship had a couple of games like that this year. The Raiders were one of the smaller teams in the league and not particularly aggressive, yet we found ourselves on the bad end of some pretty big disparities in foul calls. It was especially noticeable at home where we don't seem to get the kind of home cooking from officials we see otherwise. When you're a halfcourt defensive team playing a pressing, aggressive team that constantly has its hands on your players, yet you look up at the scoreboard and see your team has five fouls while the other guys have two, it gets pretty ridiculous. In the final stats for the season we were fairly even with opponents in free throws, but a couple of games really stood out.

It was a credit to IUP to win with such a disparity.

This officiating crew obviously hates Joe or was pissed at him. The more he complained the worse it got. Then Joe got the T, well deserved but the call was God awful and Joe had to unleash.

You probably got T'd up. Everybody else did.

Great win for IUP under tough circumstances. Most of the team was in foul trouble for a big chunk of the second half. Heck, I got called for three fouls sitting on my couch.

It is. It's also where Gannon's 2nd assistant under Fee went after Fee left. No doubt how Precious got here.

And thats even more reason I believe he'll be gone. I think a lot of these players are probably sold on "go here, get your stats up and move up".

I feel like Longwood is where Precious came from lol

And then there is the story of K J McClurg who left California and went to D-1 Longwood and averaged 7 ppg and 18 minutes last year (this year I believe injuries have done him in). Have visited Longwood a couple of times and its a beautiful school but hardly a powerhouse. Point being that potential transfers need to consider the risks involved as it doesn't always work out. It's kinda like Cleve Wright told me once.......men only want one thing and that is to say they played Division One. Women recruits will ask what can your school do for me on an academic basis and do not get as hung up on the D-1 thing as the men.
