Good luck to both the men's and women's teams in the championship. Go IUP!

The men face a monumental task and if they come up short that’s ok. What they did this weekend makes this a very successful season in my eyes.

Just a really poorly officiated game. Hard to believe these are the best officials in the region.

I don't like the mixed crews they use in the regional (one official from each conference). It always feels like it's inconsistent because it's a crew that's never worked together before. I'd rather if a CIAA team is playing a PSAC team, then use your best MEC crew. If an MEC team is playing a CIAA team, use your best PSAC crew. At least they'd know each other and how they like to call a game. Would increase consistency.

This team picked the right weekend to find some serious moxie. Wow.

I didn’t want to be the one to say it. I thought it was bad. Those were two really physical teams and it seemed like they blew the whistle every single time that somebody went up. They called a ton of ticky tack stuff. But in the closing minutes they failed to identify an IUP defender getting bulldozed under the rim. Even when they called the offensive foul on VUU late in OT, you could tell that official was really pumped to make that call.

So, let me get this straight. The IUP super fans are unhappy because the crowds are down, Joe can't manage personnel, and Carey can't manage the game but both the men's and women's teams are in the regional finals. That's pretty great, right?

I watched both semifinal games. Outstanding efforts by IUP. I never thought the men would pull that off with 3 guys fouling out.

Three fouled out. Hosed numerous times and still won.

Incredible effort

Joe had 'em all the way !!

Joe needs to freaking snap on one particular player at halftime. I mean throw crap snap.

This isn't high school. Play like a big boy or sit on the bench.

AMEN!

This should be a very pro-IUP crowd today.

Joe's playing with house money so they should be loose.

Don't forget these two played a closed door scrimmage back in October, and the HCs are friends. So, there is some familiarity.

This could be the first to score 45 wins.

Let's just say you're going to see two very animated coaches tonight. Jay Butler was a joy to watch yesterday.

Tomorrow is IUP's kind of game. Joe can't coach against the up-tempo but he's a master of coaching against the zone.

Not saying IUP will win but this is their kind of game and pace. They better eat their Wheaties and be ready for a brawl. These two played in the Regional a few years ago and it was a street fight.

IUP certainly has a shot. It’s a good matchup for them. In hindsight, it’s too bad Cal and Gannon are on the same side of the bracket. It’s funny how earlier this year we were talking about the possibility of IUP playing Gannon four times on the women’s side. Now suddenly that’s a possibility on the men’s side. Crazy.

As Tony put it on the broadcast, IUP really didn’t have a signature win all year before today. I guess if you’re going to do it, the NCAA Tournament is a fine time. One win in the tournament is a pretty big accomplishment considering how the last couple years played out.
