Ethan and Garvin scored 56 of IUP's 75 points yesterday.

Stewart, Radford and Petteno got the rest. KJ did have 1 point.


Sarp and KJ, combined, scored (1) point in 54 minutes. These two are committing drastically more turnovers combined than scoring.


Somebody aside from EP and Garvin needs to get going. The two-man show works against the Edinboro types but remember Joe is 1-8 this year vs good teams.

Seton Hill will not be an easy game Wednesday night. For the second time this year they let a late lead slip away against Mercyhurst yesterday.

Good win. Obviously Ethan was the difference maker. Him and Clark have largely carried this team plus the few big nights from Radford. Others are playing their roles well enough to keep racking up wins for a team I didn’t think would be .500.

I have been really trying to stay off the KJ bash fest but oh my goodness. He almost single handedly gave the game away at the end.

I'll say i for you... he sucks!!!

Check out his stat line based on his minutes.

That's my only comment.

Thank God for Ethan Porterfield. The rest of the team wasn't good aside from Garvin (near a triple double again).

EP 35 points

IUP is getting destroyed on the glass.

Brooks looks great on the pine.

Please explain sooner rather than later.

Joe may have a PSAC Dream Team under the basket next year. That's the hint.

Enjoy it this year. IUP won't be down for long.

Sometimes enemies become friends, and, well, old friends come home. I'll leave it at that.

Please explain sooner rather than later.

It's already been hinted.

Having been following the program essentially during the same time period you have, I’m in total agreement with this and see it exactly the same way. I won’t argue with you about Mims. That dude was something to behold. As you hinted at, he should have never been in Indiana. The best all around player of those mentioned was Webb and that’s why his number is hanging in the KCAC. It doesn’t get talked about often but his hands were incredible. Anything he touched he pulled down. Ethan is a different player than Webb but he also has excellent hands and that helps make up for what he may be giving up physically. Those two guys have the best hands I’ve seen in an IUP uniform. It’s no coincidence they’re 1-2 in scoring in program history.

I don’t see IUP looking for the typical PSAC bangers going forward. Even Tomiwa who is a physical specimen was still more of a hybrid who could run the floor and hit mid-range jump shots consistently. I think we’ll see more teams in the league moving more toward the Gannon or East Stroudsburg system that can compete better with the West Liberty’s and Nova Southeastern’s of the world.

Joe's philosophy has proven to work against fast teams. This season is an enigma for a variety of reasons - mostly injuries.

However, as we know, Joe needs to have the correct 7-8 guys to do it. He doesn't right now. They've only played WL twice in the past decade and oddly both road teams won. I think the game before those two was the loss to WL in 3 OT that was a classic. He's had the upper hand against ESU the last 10 years. I thought the way they played Gannon the second time was impressive. They got shell shocked the first time.

It's the years like this year when his set 7-8 guys get hurt, etc., that we see these types of records. That's always been his biggest fault but it's not going to change.

He's closer than everybody realizes to coming back pretty heavy next year. More on that later.
