Re: Iup basketball
I'd love to see them do $1 nights in the 'dead' season over break. Heck, just give them away. -
Re: Iup basketball
Unfortunately it looks like they draw around 1,500 in the fall when students are around 600-700 when the student's aren't around, then once the weather is cold and its the only game in town 2,500. 3,500 for senior night is impressive.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
IUP has an outstanding facility with high level basketball. Surprised it is not over 2k per game. Wlu is #1 in MEC about 500 behind you at #27 nationally. We should be higher too. Northern state is #1 at over 3k per game!Originally posted by IUPalum View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
I'd be curious what the 1,502 was minus the 6-week holiday break.Originally posted by Golden89 View Post
Joe's complained about it in the past. One year IUP went from before Thanksgiving to Jan 30 without a home game with students. That just sucks.
At IUP that means no cheerleaders, dance teams, pep band, etc.Leave a comment:

Darn, I thought we were getting one more year out of Allen. Ugh, I wish him well!Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View Post
AND yes, Joe works the heck out of his assistants. Stevie Piotrowicz will vouch for that! Speaking of, Stevie will be the head coach of Erie Cathedral Prep this coming school year.Leave a comment:

That was just a matter of time. He has a real bright future in the business. I wish him well.Originally posted by hawks16 View Post
It's a good job under Joe. He has a long track record of getting those guys to their next job quickly.
They earn their money under Joe from what I hear, too.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Per today's release from IUP, Joe ranked 13th in D2 attendance last season (at a hair over 1,500 per).
Love to see that get to 2,000 avg this year.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Great to see that former IUP WBB standout Jahzinga Tracey has been tabbed for the IUP Athletic Hall of Fame! Simply the best ever! A real privilege to be able to watch her play ball here. It absolutely floors me to think that it has been over 10 years now since she last suited up for IUP.
Very deserving honor for her! Congrats!

Re: Iup basketball
Well, that (XMAS) break actually shouldn't hurt them too much this year.
Home games missed by students: Bethany, Lock Haven, Mercyhurst, Cal
Away games during the same period: Mansfield, Shepherd, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, Gannon, Edinboro
Getting to play at Ship and SRU over break is a big advantage -- especially at Slippery Rock. IUP's visit is the only big crowd they get all year and the students pack the place. Plus, Joe has struggled to win up there in the hostile environment. I believe they are just 5-5 in the last 10 trips to Morrow.
Conversely, they'll get SRU in the KCAC on Saturday night, Feb. 8. SRU's winless streak in Indiana is at almost 30 years. Amazing to think about, ...Leave a comment:
