Re: Iup basketball

Malik being back is huge! Big game on Wednesday against the Boro and they need the legit presence and athleticism on the floor against that team. A win against the Boro is huge as far as region rankings and such. Sorry Mr. Benton but your minutes are now gone!

Women's performance ... wow. In the zone.

Re: Iup basketball

IUP men win a tough one. As expected Cal gave a good fight. The bug news was Malik returned.

Dante had a really solid game. They beat the heck out of him but he kept going.

Cal got it tied somewhat late before IUP ran off a 16-0 run.

Re: Iup basketball

Congrats to the IUP Women on a BIG win over Cal by a 79-49 score. Way to be tough!

Now a huge game looms on Wednesday night against Boro that could very well settle who gets to host the PSAC tourney on the women's side.

I believe the last time the IUP gals hosted a PSAC tourney was 2008.

Re: Iup basketball

impressive... I always loved Julian Sanders jumper.

Most especially that one in the 2010 national semifinals against St. Cloud (I believe that was the team) from the corner right near the IUP bench at a crucial point. That was one fine shot. Quite a distance as well. They don't get any bigger than that!

Anthony Glover hit his 90th trey of the season last night ... new single (regular) season school record (and has three games to go).

* Hutton has been in a shooting funk all year. The kid has never shot well.

* Vaughns is still clueless on the floor but no one can argue how athletic he is. He won't see any meaningful minutes this year.

Re: Iup basketball

Jalen Vaughns surfaced last night. He got 13 minutes (3 points & 5 boards). Not sure if it was due to the opponent or if he's finally (officially) healthy. Regardless, he's big and fast and teams can't ignore him when he's on the floor.

Hitting 20 of 38 treys is impressive. From deep: Glover (7-12), Cobo (4-4), Dante (4-5), Hutton (1-8), Blake (4-8), Benton (0-1).

One concerning item: Ayron Hutton is really in a shooting funk. He was 1-for-9 from the field last night and has had several bad games in a row offensively.

That was obviously a terrible mismatch last night and nothing to really celebrate but it was good timing ... it should get the bad vibes out a bit.

Cal won't be a freebie on Saturday. The Vulcans have played IUP tough the past two meetings and have also been playing well as of late. Cal gave UPJ all it could handle this past Saturday and beat Mercyhurst last night. Cal likes to run. IUP can't run right now. Interesting underlying item: The last two Cal games, IUP has had giant second half leads ... only to nearly blow both of them.

Re: Iup basketball

Odd stat: IUP shot better from deep last night (52%) than it did from the free throw line (50%).

Re: Iup basketball

Tom down 15-11 after 1st Quarter at Clarion.

FYI .. Clarion shocked Tom up there last year.

It's easy to get Cook's Forest on your mind up that way and let the game slip away. For me it would be memories of canoeing down the Clarion River with a pretty girl many years ago.
