It is one of those nights that a 10-18 team can say " WHEN'S THE NEXT GAME ?" Combined with the 2OT loss @ MC, this was the best 2 loss week the VULCAN men have had in a long time !!! COACH MCBRIDE did an outstanding job of keeping his team fighting to the end...Which when you think about it is his primary job. Can't wait to hear who he's snagged for next year. This entire team returns, with RAMON CREIGHTON, and whoever else he can persuade. Happy for all involved.
Out coached and out hustled in the second half. How can you be up 14 at half and play so uninspired in the second half?
Not complaining about the W, but sometimes stats just make you scratch your head. I wondered how a team, even one as good as CALU, can play -14 ball in the 1st half and +30 in the 2nd??? Go to the stats. Same # of shots. TO close. Steals close. Rebounds close. FREE THROWS... VULCANS--24/32. C'HAWKS 6/6. ??? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN ?? As one of the most aggressive defenses in the country, how does it happen that no VULCAN, other than MIKI G (4), has more than 2 PF ? And yet IUP loses one player to PF and three others with 3+ PF. COACH STROM better come up with a solution to these slow starts or this post-season is going to end abruptly. You don't come back from 14 down against regional or national powers.
