Iup basketball

[IUPalum]

I hate to start with this but that may have been the worst officiating job I’ve ever seen at a college basketball game. I believe there were 5 technicals and about one of them was deserved, but only happened because the first one was called. Then the foul calls! There were 57 free throws taken in this game and it was easily the longest game I ever sat through because of it. Referee Roddy Hartle was a disaster. He’s the principle at Redbank Valley H.S. and hardly seems like the kind of guy you want in any position of authority. John Lienert, the bald white dude, wasn’t much better. Tolson was relatively quiet. All in all it was a clown show for the guys in stripes. That was as angry as I’ve ever seen Joe.

As for the game, I figured the barrage of threes would eventually stop falling by Cal and that played out. They were 7-14 in the first half but only 3-11 in the second. IUP was physically superior and it showed with the rebound margin of 11 and Cal’s inability to stop Shawndale any time he drove to the basket. Shawndale was fouled 10 times! Physically it was men versus boys. Cal is very athletic and quick, but in the end they just don’t have enough in the front court to beat the top teams. They’re also lacking depth. IUP played 10 players to Cal’s 7, and the drop off is pretty steep from player 5 to player 6 for the Vulcans.

Cal’s lack of depth is due to two starters being injured and not playing a game this year.

i don’t know if I agree with you about the officials. It was a very chippy and physical game. There were a ton of fouls! Do I think a couple of the technicals were needed, idk, maybe? It’s hard to know what was really said. Joe’s was deserved! Sancomb’s deserved! Sancomb was warned to stay in his coaching box and he was way out *****ing up a storm!

IUP got through with a win, while other top teams fell. That’s what matters most!

What an incredible sequence up and down the court from Tomiwa. Wow.

Wild first half… both coaches putting on a show.

Cal comes out hot… shocking

I get Twitter saturation and posts.

But, does every game IUP plays need to be called a rivalry (by both sides)?

How many freaking rivalries can one team have?

The KCAC's favorite guest arrives today.

Danny gets picked on almost as bad as Kevin Reynolds used to up here. Villains are good for business.

Deservedly so, of course.

Sancomb is amusing to watch. Off the court, he is about as humble and quiet as they come. Well- and soft-spoken. Total opposite on the court.


I still don't rule out him going after the IUP job in a couple years. He's younger than he looks.

Crowd shenanigans aside, this is going to be a good one today.

FYI the men's game tips off at 3 p.m. tomorrow.

The PSAC site is showing it -- incorrectly -- as starting at 7:30 p.m.

Anyone going....... I am actually going to make the trip up there...........

Very weak gate last night with just 1,085.


I was expecting a much larger crowd with the students back and decent weather.

Disappointing

He had a career night but defensively not great.

He's a freshman.

Put him with Joe next three years and total beast
