Mercyhurst had next to no fans at the game. It will be a very pro IUP game tomorrow.

Agreed, ESU never really tried to press and trap. They were content in just pressuring the ball handler. Interesting, although, the first match up they did trap. IUP scored a lot of easy buckets when they trapped the first match up. Maybe that had something to do with it.

I'd agree with him.
However, getting it to 5 (amazingly) at half was massive. ESU probably should have been up 12-14 at halftime.
IUP literally couldn't make a shot in the first half and had open looks. They also must have missed 5-6 layups in the first 20 minutes. What was sickening was they forced a ton of turnovers and didn't cash them in.
I suspect they'll shoot it much better tomorrow. That court takes some adjustment with the sight-lines, etc.

That's an interesting approach from Wilson to try to beat IUP at IUP's game. And it almost worked. But it seems like it was as close as it was due to IUP's own offensive inefficiency rather than ESU's defense per se. That first half, it looked like IUP was purposefully playing "chuck and chase" so Tomiwa could get boards and buckets down low. Weird game all around, but as Eye said above, games played "off pace" will always favor IUP. That's why I found it so weird that Wilson never even seemed to try to force the pace.
No question ESU is a quality team that has the potential to be somebody's nightmare on the #6 or #7 line next week if they manage to get a bid.
IUP's defense is smothering, so even lacking offensive flow, they can manage to pick up a grinder win. That will play well for them next week. Defense never "goes cold" in March.

Believe me, ESU's bigs are a major handful. That's a good team.

IUP definitely left a lot of meat on the bone today. I think they were so focused on slowing the tempo that it killed their own rhythm. At no point was there any flow to the game. It was partly the way the teams were trading turnovers and also how the officials called the game. Those types of slug rests are always going to favor IUP. I give ESU credit for playing about as good of half court offense as they can play. I also give their coaching staff credit for not trying to press. I think that caught IUP off guard a little.
Foul shooting was bad. No question it has to get better or not only will they not win tomorrow, but they’ll also be watching the Elite 8 from home. Way too many offensive rebounds given up, and that’s just an energy thing. That’s why I say IUP slowed things down too much. They looked lethargic at times. Tomiwa did have 11 boards, but he gave up a bunch of second chance opportunities too. He never really factored in offensively. Ethan bailed them out on offense by going 4-5 from deep. Dallis hit a big three, as he does. All it all it was just enough and in March, that’s all that matters.
All wins at this stage are good wins.

I was in town last summer--stayed in that old Comfort Suites (I think it is) that's across the highway from Levity. Popped over to Levity a few nights. I really enjoyed it. Good food; good drinks; good atmosphere. Cool place.
The other one mentioned, Noble Stein, is walkable from the KCAC. It's across from the old Grapevine restaurant (same side of Wayne as the KCAC). It's more of a small brewery-type bar. It's cool but doesn't have all the frills of Levity (which appeals to some). It's more just a bar where Levity has a lot going on.
Get in touch with me if you're up again this summer.

Both Levity and Noble Stein are on wayne ave. Levity I think is in part of the old Gorrell factory across from Har-Tees mini golf and noble stein is up near Hoss's. I don't drink but Levity's food is good.
