Just about the entire IUP team went out of their way to personally thank the big crowd this past Saturday night. The football team put it on their Twitter page, etc.
That stuff is contagious. Saturday night could be pretty wild for the Gannon visit. Word gets around campus fast and could really snowball the rest of the season.
That was one of those rare atmospheres. I'd bet this weekend breaks the alleged (but not actual) record set last weekend.
I agree with IUP24 (and the boxscore) that the game we no longer speak of was actually a larger crowd. Barely.
Just a guess but GU's Johnson will be Target No. 1. He'll jaw back which will only get things going more. UPJ plays at 3pm. Maybe we could plant Josh Wise in Row 1?

Odd a guy his size didn't score a single FG in the paint.
He's still a nice player although not quite the guy he was two years ago. This is probably, overall, their least-talented team in a long time. Joe played their speed up in Morrow and the game was close. Saturday night he played IUP's speed and, well, ... 96-60. Ethan was a boy in the first meeting. He played like a man Saturday night. Add to it that first 20 minutes IUP played ... not sure anybody in the country would have managed that blitz. IUP was shooting about 80% going in to the final minutes of the half. Add that crowd in and Ian Grady couldn't get to that locker room fast enough. They literally got abused for all 24 minutes of that warm-up period. The lower rows of the student section were relentless on those guys. Then the game started and they got swarmed immediately. They were just psyched out.
How about Till even got booed in pregame introductions. That has to be a KCAC first.
I'd have to guess their mental position right now is pretty fragile. Playing UPJ next won't help much. They don't play with that old SRU chip on their shoulder any more. KR's teams would fight (sometimes literally).
I still say they have enough talent to 'possibly' make a little run. By 'little run' I mean possibly upset somebody in Round 1 of the conference tournament. But, they have to get their heads back on right.

Bellarmine, Ferris State and Grand Valley all lost yesterday.
Very odd season.

Further proof Joe's Maffia had that game erased from IUP history.
