To the best of my count IUP24 remains undefeated. LOL.

To my knowledge, that game still holds the attendance record for IUP Basketball. From memory the announced gate was 3,857.
Old JR just spoiled the party.
Side note: I fully expect IUP to draw more than 3,500 tomorrow night.

I'm going to battle you on the press thing. The 1-2-2 press has more than one purpose. Joe wasn't using it to create turnovers today. If they did then good but that wasn't the purpose. The purpose today was to speed the game up a bit and take Hurst out of their half court offense. Gary loves calling a ton a plays out but the second half he couldn't due to IUP pressing. The other thing, IUP should've got 2 separate 5 second calls when they went man press on the in bounds but the refs had their heads up their butts. I thought Carlo and Baldy were god awful today. They bailed Hurst out on quite a few occasions. It still doesn't take away the fact Joe played Hurst tempo the first half and put them in a hole.
But, IUP had three guys play more than 38 minutes today. That's insane. By the way, the other two played 32 and 33 minutes. Five guys over 32 minutes. That's ironman basketball. That just can't happen with a team that has the money IUP has in its pocket. It's insanity. It's incredibly poor roster management.
I get what you're saying about the press in the second half. It was desperation. It worked. They cut that 17-point halftime deficit down to 4 points. The players gave everything they had in the second half. They were understandably exhausted in the final 5 minutes.
Chucky's left hand evaluation this week is about the most important thing to happen to this program this year. If it hasn't healed (quickly) correctly -- and he can't come back Saturday night -- I fear this could be a rough month.
Today ... as well as Mercyhurst played, IUP was right there in the end. Nobody can say one more guy wouldn't have made the difference. Heck, 2-3 rebounds may have made the difference. This bye on Wednesday is coming at a perfect time.
The question still remains: If Shawn Ulrich can't get a single second today -- on a day IUP played one post player ... why is he here? If Diop was deemed not ready to play ... why is he here?
I get they went all in last year with Dante and Cobo. I'm just not sure Joe realized he had a better team this year than last year.
Chucky comes back healthy they can win the Region -- or at least give it a good run. Without him ... it's not looking good.

Since the start of last year, IUP is 48-5.
Three of those five losses are to Mercyhurst.

It's ironic it's Groundhog's Day weekend. That's Joe Lombardi's program. Every year is the same. But, at least we have those redshirts ready for the future. Or, at least until they transfer this off-season.
INCREDIBLE effort by the PLAYERS today in the second half. It's not easy to be forced to play IRONMAN basketball. It's not easy to have guards play power forward. It was a great comeback. I'm sure Ousmane Diop enjoyed it from back in Indiana. Shawn Ulrich never took his warm-up jersey off. Dylan Benton played a career-high in minutes. And, of course, IUP couldn't buy a rebound for its life. But, at least we have those redshirts for the future. We don't need them right now. We didn't need them when Tommy Demo went down. Nor when Chucky went town.
IUPAlum said he's seen this movie before. I have, too. The ending sucks. It's always the same.
Chucky Humphries' left hand can't heal fast enough. A season depends on it. There is not help on the way -- even if it is available.
IUP got bailed out today. Gannon and ESU knocked off UPJ and Shippensburg. It takes some of the sting away. Some.
Lombardi kept his 6-man rotation in a press for the entire second half. It produced one turnover -- and wore the crap out of his own team.
Enjoy your dinner tonight, Gary. You earned it today.

I think we must have been saving those timeouts for something. Maybe next year? Lol. Joe stunk as bad as the team.

What an embarrassing effort from IUP.
Joe's going to get blown out of the building.
Pathetic effort.
