So this year the PG had to distribute, the last 4 with Dante he was allowed to shoot at will. Craziness... David has to become more of a scoring threat every game for the team to be tougher to play. Losing Demo has forced that to happen. I still say they need to go deeper on the bench.

Joe said after the Shippensburg game they changed a lot of the offense. He wanted them to start driving more. It's done several things. For one, he has big guards who can all do it well. Secondly, they are either making the shot or getting to the line (averaging 24 FT attempts last three games ... up almost 10 from first half). Thirdly (and the thing GU struggled defending) is it has put a fear factor in to defenses and they are collapsing on the ball. It is getting IUP a lot of wide open trey attempts. Saturday night was really the first time all year they showed how well they are capable of shooting from deep (12-27).
We've slowly seen Joe's offense evolve this season. I think early on he still wanted it to run as if Dante was playing PG. This team is thriving offensively the more and more they get away from that slower tempo as this group can play much faster. Last year's team was better at playing a slower pace.
IUP won the boards by 6 (35-29) but was again led by a guard (Malik had 7).

Disappointed there were no coaches' quotes in either the Erie newspaper or the Indiana Gazette after the IUP/GU game.
Stats are boring ... way more interested to hear the coaches fire off cliches and make some comments.

Can Joe go touch Torts and rub off on him?
Miller Stadium is truly horrible! Most of IUP's players played in MUCH better stadiums in high school.

So much for the cupboard being bare and that talk of Joe hanging it up once Dante graduated
This is one of his better coaching jobs so far in my opinion. They had many new faces, two season-ending injuries, etc.
If I was betting I'd say he'll ride out Portfield. He'd be craxy not to ... 4-5 more years.

Armoni Foster is a sophomore. Scary. So is David Morris. Porterfield is a true freshman. Shawndale is a junior. And, next year they'll add back the big star in Tommy Demo. Joe has a big couple big years ahead of him.

He's being held back a bit. Joe wants him to be a PG. He's capable of going off.

Originally posted by bballfan03 View PostWatching this game.. if you told me IUP had a D1 transfer... I'd think its Foster. Morris not as impressive as I'd thought he'd be. It's just one game I know, just thought he'd stand out a little

Final
IUP 85
Gannon 64
Fantastic second half ... guys have owned the final 20 minutes.
I really didn't think they'd go 3-0 this week. Great week. Mercyhurst, @SRU and @GU. That's a bear of a week. Awesome job.
