Re: Iup basketball
First time I ever cheer for West Liberty and they lose.
That just bulked up Fairmont's resume in a big way.

Re: Iup basketball
Originally posted by CALUPA69 View PostActually the program is pretty solid. Basically 20 plus wins each season plus PSAC and NCAA tournament position. Stinker games like MC happen to most all teams and don't really matter if the team is able to put it all together when it counts. COACH TOM has a winning record against everyone except one team which sucks if that team is a roadblock to ultimate success. Can't say if he'll ever get by that roadblock, but he certainly has the pieces in place to do so. In my view CALU will likely lose at least 2 more games (@IUP, @BORO) so the C'HAWKS have at least 1 more lose to give before talking about losing home court. Settle down.
IUP WBB has not hosted a conference or region since 2008. Even then it tossed away the region top seed by losing in the opening round. This stuff can be hard to take after awhile.

Re: Iup basketball
The Gazette reported today Vaughns didn't play again yesterday due to an ankle injury. He did dress yesterday unlike Wednesday so he's probably not far off.
It said Cobo also had been battling some virus issues and wasn't up to par.
I scanned the box ... Blake played 14 minutes with 0 points and 1 rebound. He has to get going. There's no choice but to keep playing him some minutes.
That was the third buzzer-beater win of the season (Bloom, Boro, Mercy). Under two seconds left ... put it that way.

This is a brutal stretch. The forecast looks good for Wednesday. Hopefully 100-200 make the trip to Morrow. It's going to be a fun one.
SRU has averaged about 200 per game. There will be 2,000+ for Joe's visit.

I don't follow the women's game enough to know the details but they played a zone against Tom yesterday and IUP looked like they had never seen one before.
I've seen Tom enough this year to realize they are a flow team. They're great when they control things. Disrupt that flow and things get ugly. Quickly.
All the normal pretty passing and set shooting turns in to Appleby driving the hoop and throwing up wild shots.
You probably hit the nail on the head with your succinct synopsis.
Geez, they have a perfect opportunity here right in front of them to play at home in the postseason. Looks like they need to win out now to avoid throwing it all away after that little episode yesterday.
This program is beyond maddening!

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostWonder how many more layups IUP could have driven to the basket and just heaved up awful line-drives at the basket? You'd think after the first 10 didn't work ... maybe a different strategy.
Tom is doing his best to p!ss away hosting a regional.
That team is too soft. We said it after watching the Cal game. No killers. That's just an unacceptable loss.
Soft doesn't even begin to describe it! And this program hasn't had any killers since Z, Staci, and Kylie left.
Have fun playing the postseason down at Cal again. Suckers! Just glad that I haven't been drinking their kool-aid for several years now.

They can have all the cute, liitle whiteouts they want. Rally all the kickball professionals. It won't matter.
KR can't beat Joe on a big stage. That team will self-destruct.
That's the M.O. of the Reynolds era.

Re: Iup basketball
Alright, time for the live opinion of the game...
First of all, the Hurst defense was relentless. That caused a lot of issues BUT IUP didn't help themselves with a missed dunk, dropped passes, etc.
Glover's shot selection today was terrible but everyone is entitled to a bad game.
Danielek can stay on the bench. Hurst attacked him every time he was on the floor and he backed off every time.
Daunte played a great game.
Malik is the spark plug off the bench that Lombardi always has.
Willem played great other than the missed dunk.
Cobo had a rough game but you could tel that Hurst was keying on him and Glover.
The refs... YIKES! They let them play the first half and then the second half was ticky tackville. About 8 points were taken off the board for IUP due to calling the foul on the floor instead of continuation. BAD!!!
IUP got out of that dump with a win even though it wasn't pretty.
