Iup basketball

[IUP24]

Classes don't start until Tuesday, but IUP opened up some dorms on Friday for people wanting to beat the snow and get back to the dorms early. So...campus should be populated by Monday. Who knows? Maybe the pregame starts around noon and some people make their way to the KCAC.

Re: Iup basketball

I was anticipating IUP moving the game but sure wasn't expecting it to be Monday afternoon. That's a huge break for Edinboro -- avoiding a half-drunk Saturday night KCAC crowd. Instead it will be a ghost town. That's a big revenue loser for IUP and the KCAC.

At first I thought they'd move it to tonight, but being they likely didn't get home from East Stroudsburg until 4 a.m. yesterday, I didn't think Joe would sign off on the quick turnaround.

Re: Iup basketball

IUP has postponed Saturday's game against Edinboro until Monday due to the impending weather.

The ladies will play at 1 p.m. and the men at 3 p.m.



West Chester has also now moved its game to tomorrow night. SRU vs Mansfield is also Friday night now.

A few games are also being played an hour or two earlier. The only games that are still at their scheduled times are Clarion at Gannon and Seton Hill at Cal. Gannon has its annual Pink Zone events surrounding the game, so I'm sure that it would be quite disruptive to move.

I also just learned that the Bloomsburg men occasionally play first and the women play second. This is a major aside from the topic of this thread, but do any other schools do that?

[QUOTE=IUPbigINDIANS;2341154]WarriorVoice if that was you on the internet broadcast ... you did a good job. For a one-man crew you kept it entertaining.

Thanks for the compliment. Doing a one-man broadcast has its challenges.

Re: Iup basketball

Its one thing to talk smack - who cares. But basketball is a sport where players are extremely vulnerable to cheap shots. When a player like #15 throws a cheap shot like that against Lombardi, the PSAC has to have the courage to take action. Too often, they don't. If the cheap shot is clear on the tape, then there should be a one game suspension.

What I saw in the last 2 minutes of the ESU/IUP game was alot of stupidity by ESU. The complete brain fart by the ESU PG with less than two minutes to play was unreal, almost like he was trying to throw the game. With ESU winning, and while he wasn't even being pressured, the PG threw a long pass from the back court to noone. The pass either hit the backboard or went over the back board. Even the homer ESU announcer was dumbfounded. It was so bad I almost thought it was a shot. No idea what he was thinking or trying to do.

Yeah, that and the subsequent stupid foul by giordono coat them the game I think

Re: Iup basketball

Dante wasn't ran in to when he was injured. I'll leave it at that. Two guys, Dante and No. 15 (Troy Jones) standing beside each other during an inbound and one suddenly gets floored by a 'mid-section' injury. Neither are even running when it happens.

Watch the film. It's at the 14:10 mark of the second half.

No room for that stuff.

Absolutely! And the really crazy thing is that after an incredible 50 years of broadcasting IUP sports this guy has not slipped one bit at all. In fact, he just seems to get better and better all the time.

Re: Iup basketball

Wow , just watched it, that was really dirty - I think it was #10 that came by and popped him though -that's a junior high playground move

Should be reviewed and a suspension. Dirty, dirty play.

Re: Iup basketball

Jack Benedict might be the least homer announcer I've ever listened to. Now those TV jabronies are a different story. They don't even know the game and are complete homers.

I love when the term jabroni or jamoke is properly used in context. Excellent job.
