Re: Iup basketball

No mention of Chucky absense in Gazette.

Not newsworthy apparently.

Re: Iup basketball

Le Moyne PG is very good. Best player in my opinion. They aren't big but very aggressive under basket.

This will be a battle.

Le Moyne, as VSU did, took UPJ too lightly. Then it was too late. They went up like 18-20 in the first half last night but UPJ did what they always do ... just chip away

LeMoyne will match their size and speed. IUP will have to play smart and shoot well tonight. Armoni can't go 0-7 tonight because we know the rest of the team can't stay that hot. Should be a good game. I didn't think they would wack the Sciences that bad.

Possibly sick or something else going on? I was at the Gannon Classic.

Re: Iup basketball

Be thankful this game wasn't on a feed.

IUP up about 23 with 5 mins left.

UPJ took Le Moyne to triple OT before losing.

Like Tom Petty once sang---the waiting is the hardest part. LOL.

Little bit of coverage ...

Re: Iup basketball

Closer look at The Sciences:

* Off to a 2-2 start with very tight losses to Kutztown and Bridgeport (Tournament team a year ago).

* Held Kutztown star Anthony Lee to just 14 points.

* Sciences has five guys in double digits ... very balanced with no true star. Appears rotation is about 9 deep.

* Always plays extremely smart and disciplined -- and can really frustrate opponents with 'old school' basketball. Think Princeton style.

* IUP blew them out a year ago while in a rebuild season ... almost whole roster is back plus some key additions. Prior to last year the previous 6 meetings against IUP were mostly all fairly tight.

* Not a big team by PSAC standards but they shoot well and don't foul much

* Certainly a game IUP should win. Sciences will win a lot of games this year. Big opportunity for another solid SOS builder.

* Teams often take them lightly then quickly realize they have a problem. Holding Lee to by far his sesson low is impressive. That isn't easy to do.

Re: Iup basketball

Very solid win for Pitt over a Saint Louis team expected to finish near the top of the A-10. Maybe they are better than we thought.

IUP would still crush them.

Pitt on the rise here. 6-0 to start the Capel era. Xavier Johnson is a talent! Now I'm afraid that he might leave school after one year. Goodness, if this group can just stick to together with a few more years of Capel recruiting they may just have something here.

I believe that Iowa is on the slate next. Should be a stiff test. City game is fast approaching as well.
