Re: Iup basketball

From his Harford profile: "Brother Darrius Heyward-Bey plays in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brother Anthony plays football for Northeastern." Genes aren't too shabby.

That would be highly debatable there. More like eats up a roster spot year after year. Yoi and Double Yoi!

He's a nice player and the three years is a nice item, too. Joe has two slots left for next year. I'm not sure he'll take another guard (figure they'll have KJ Rhodes, Armoni, Bryce Radford, Malik and Anthony White).

They definitely need at least one more post player. As of now they'll have Ethan Porterfield, Humphries, Ulrich and Dom Keyes.

Re: Iup basketball

For what it's worth, it seems like this IUP men's team is always banged up in some form or another. Cobo's knees, Dante's everything, Greg Bearer's hand...I noticed watching Sunday's PSAC final on TV, grad assistant Eric Matheson even had a cast on his hand.

Not totally uncommon. Figure they've been playing since October. That's a lot of wear and tear. I'd think the majority of teams have issues right now.

Dante is a grinder. For all the bigger he is he plays pretty fearless and doesn't shy away from contact. Four years in the West will toughen anybody up pretty good. He's played through one injury after another for four years. Armoni playing at the level he has without practicing for the past month is incredible. I thought Cobo looked 100% better Sunday against Mercyhurst than he did against West Chester. Of course, I think WCU's plan was to eliminate him on the offensive end and they really sold out on him.

West Chester played IUP completely different from the first meeting. The game back in December they completely sold out on defending the deep shot. This second game they sold out on the post. That's the hardest thing playing against IUP. Sell out on one and the other will kill you.

As for the grad assistant, I'd assume they've been using everybody to form a scout team with so many not practicing. The former Auburn star and assistant coach Allen Payne has probably been lighting them up in practice, too.

Re: Iup basketball

Our buddy Brandon Spain is coaching down at Harford and has a dandy on his team. Guard Jaedon Willis.

He'd look real good in the KCAC. Just sayin'

Three years eligibility. Millersville has offered. First team all MD-JUCO as a true freshman.

Re: Iup basketball

Is there a chance for a sell out? Wondering if there is a need to by tickets ahead of time or if the general opinion is that there should be no problem purchasing tickets when you get there on Saturday.

No chance for a sell out. With everything being general admission, they are going to keep a revolving door because people won't stay for all 4 games. I'm sure ticket sales will be through the roof but they all won't be there at the same time.

Re: Iup basketball

In my opinion there's zero chance it sells out -- in particularly your game. This past weekend East Stroudsburg had probably less than 5 fans in the KCAC. It's about 5-6 hours each way for them. Three of the four games will be empty. Keep in mind they can get 5,000 in there.

Yeah. Only real chance of a sell out is Tuesday if IUP gets that far.

Add to it IUP is on Spring Break and most students will not return until Sunday. The PSAC Championship drew just 1,500 due to spring break. The locals filled less than half of the KCAC for Sunday's game. They sure aren't filling it for a non-IUP game.

Re: Iup basketball

The out of towners will just love that $9 per ticket 'handling fee' they'll be charged online.

Nearly criminal.

Other oddity is re-entry is not permitted. They must want to keep that beer money inside and not at the Hilton. Lol.

No session tickets either ... you get the full day.
