Solid win against SRU and credit to the team (including KJ). Feel Cal are going to be a whole different kettle of fish however. Joe's post match interview would indicate even he thinks IUP are going to lose, setting expectations and citing Cal as an Elite 8 NCAA team. Let's hope we don't have a repeat of the ESU or Gannon games! Would be good if it is at least a competitive match. Fingers crossed.
Looking forward I can't see who replaces Ethan at the end of the season. The other forwards are barely getting any minutes, apart from Damir when Ethan is resting. Dolan was a starter at the beginning of the season and now riding the pine. Calum will be lucky to get any minutes from now on. Romero-Sanz is red shirted and an unknown at this stage. Joe must be looking at a transfer?
Good luck to IUP tonight. Might need it!

They better be ready because Cal's been waiting for this game for years.

Cal has a better starting unit and is dramatically deeper.

It would take a perfect (slow) game for IUP to win.

IUP kept one streak alive Saturday ... not sure they can keep the Cal streak going.

This IUP team has flaws, and can beat other flawed teams. Cal doesn't have any. Joe's drastic lack of quality depth will likely be really exposed tonight. Not to mention Cal has perhaps the best SF in the league and IUP plays guards there.

So if Austin came, which player wouldn’t have been here? Also, we wouldn’t be getting the Bryce show if Austin was here.
Unfortunately, we’re stuck with the KJ slop either way.

Hard to say.

I do wonder what this team would look with Dallis Dillard.

My fear is the first night somebody gets in foul trouble.

Tomorrow is a daunting task. Cal can get double digits from all five guys on the floor (and from the next several to come in).

The thought of dealing with Hall and Lucas underneath (and from outside) is going to keep Joe up all night. There's zero question IUP is out-manned tomorrow. He's going to have to whip something up. IUP isn't going to win a track meet. I think their only shot is a turtle pace.

This is also going to be a highly-motivated Cal team based on what IUP has done to them the past 8 years.

I may watch some of the SRU/Cal game today. I'm curious to see how SRU won that game so convincingly.

Agreed. They've basically taken on the mantra of playing with house money.

Imagine if he would have picked IUP, - - - But there is a much different vibe with the IUP team, since there are no expectations really. Any success is positive and fun, compared to the last few years when there was the "hope they don't screw this up" paranoia where any mistake was a disaster. So the Cal game is a see how well we might do rather than we have to win. Even Joe basically said he thinks Cal is the best team in the PSAC.

They'll be extremely tough -- in half-court games


Maceo Austin picked SRU over IUP.

#dumb-a$$


What's left of this team is what it is ... But, it's fun to watch

Not a good day in Indiana for the gym teachers.

Evil swept away.

It was the first game I was able to make it to this season and it was certainly the one to see up to this point. Radford going off in the second half was awesome and Clarke’s quickness is something to see up close.

It appears this 7.5 man rotation (Brooks is just not gonna get many minutes) is what Joe has settled on. For all its flaws, they should continue to get better as they play more in the roles that each guy finally knows they have.

The streak is going to live on. I wish they could have shot the ball like this in the 2nd half last year.

They couldn't. Shawndale ruined that team by not passing enough. That team didn't have nearly the ball movement or outside shooting this team has.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

We'd be wrong not to say it:

KJ played pretty well today

Bryce (9) treys against a rival.


Priceless
