Quick look at tomorrow's opponent (Felician):
Record: 2-3
Last time out: Lost 104-80 at East Stroudsburg
Best performance: 95-80 loss at Daemen (they led by 11 at halftime but got zonked in the second 20 minutes)
Notes:
* Two common opponents (aside from the ESU loss, they lost 84-83 at home to Bloomsburg)
* 84.6 ppg while giving up 87.4 ppg
* 41.9% FG
* 37% from deep
* 41 rebounds per game (-3.4 margin)
* 74% FT
* Averaging 9.4 treys per game on 25.4 attempts
Top players:
G Zamir Wright (6'3") - 20.8 ppg
F Dee-End McRae (6'5", 265 lbs) - 14.4 ppg & 8 rpg
F Jay'von Jackson (6'4") - 13.6 ppg & 6.4 rpg
G Jeff Lewis (6'4") - 9.4 ppg
Synopsis: Not a real deep team. They'll play a short rotation - similar to IUP. Their stats don't reflect a strong defensive team as ESU went over 100 on them and Daemen put up 95 points. They haven't played since Nov. 18. The first game after Thanksgiving is typically an odd one. You can tell quickly who ate too much pie. IUP should easily be a double-digit favorite in a very rare 3 p.m. Saturday home game. Factor in the holiday break, no students and a heavy shopping day ... I'd guess they'll be lucky to get 500 in there tomorrow. But, it's the next game on the schedule and needs handled. However, they have had nearly two weeks to prepare for this game and should have IUP well-scouted. As they proved for a half at Daemen, they are capable of playing at a high level in spurts.
