Re: Iup basketball
Lol .... I think Clarion shot 2 for 30 on treys. IUP hit 9 of 33.
It was brick city. Very boring game.
Blake .... he's become a big liability on defense. He can't guard the size players they're asking him to cover and as a result he's getting 4 fouls in 10 minutes.

Re: Iup basketball
It was a painful game to watch.
Nice crowd. Almost 2,000.
Seton Hill up next.

Re: Iup basketball
I only saw bits and pieces of the mens game last night. Blake's diminishing minutes continued, why? Vaughns minutes up... maybe b/c of the team they were facing? The three point shooting struggled a bit? 66% from the line is down for the second game in a row.
What's the take gentlemen?

As we said the other day .... big picture these games are meaningless. How her injury was handled was very scary.

One thing you can say about the IUP gals is that they do seem to be very good people. They were probably horrified at what they saw and were indeed affected by it. I can't say that I blame them much for it.

Lol. Yeah ... around these parts it's frowned upon to ever mention anything negative about the football program or the women's basketball team.

But, basketball is basketball.
The theme I see in every Cal loss is that Tom's finesse style just doesn't work against the Vulcans. Coach Strom, to her credit, takes Megan Smith out of the game.
Quite frankly, Tom's team just needs to get tougher. Cal is far more physical and aggressive. IUP plays very timid against California. That could be an intimidation thing. Who knows. The same team that won at Edinboro six days ago was not the team in the Angelo Dome last night.
If they don't figure out a way to play tougher against them I can't see any of the upcoming (at least one more) meetings having any different outcome. When you take away the three-ball from Tom, they become a much different (worse) team. Cal has mastered it. Without the three spreading the floor, Appleby gets a little crazy and out of control (8 TOs last night).
If last night was a once-off performance ... you chalk it up to the bad night ... shots not falling ... etc. But ... as ICH often says ... we've seen this movie before. Several times.
There has to be a Plan B for when Megan can't carry the load. Appleby flying to the basket isn't going to work.
It's only one loss. The rematch will be at the KCAC. But ... will anything be any different?

That should actually be reviewed by the home office how it was handled. The officials needed to stop the game and attend to her. No game is that important.
