    Just going to post that. Unreal. Finally have a game with a stream and I can't watch.

    After nine lead changes and eight ties, the IUP women held on to defeat Gannon 62-57 at the Hammermill Center.

    Gannon (5-16, 5-10 PSAC West) got as close as 54-53 with 1:43 left, but IUP (14-5, 12-3) went 8-for-10 from the foul line down the stretch to escape Erie with the win.

    The talk about the Gannon attendance got me thinking about the KCAC this year -- which has also seemed more empty than usual.


    YEAR AVG HOME ATTENDANCE
    2016-17 1,040 (note: leads PSAC by far which is scary in itself)
    2015-16 1,363
    2014-15 1,330
    2013-14 2,090
    2012-13 1,586

    With four home dates left -- with students finally back -- I'd assume that average number for this year increases a decent amount. But, as of today in comparison to just the 2013-14 season ... almost exactly half the number of people per game. That's a heck of a drop-off. The best year for 'average' attendance filled up slightly more than half of the 4,000 seats.

    The team has been a consistent winner over this stretch. The venue is fantastic. So, what's missing? Why is attendance declining? The pricing is a factor but the KCAC has been expensive in recent years, too. Oddly, the largest announced crowd this year came at the Field House.

    I think the Gannon men's team needs a few more years playing the new style before you see a noticeable increase in attendance. I've always said putting an iup talent level and style team would fill the hammermill. i think the style had to change because season tickets didn't sell out. Hopefully they didn't wait to long. I know some who refuse to even take a new look.

    Up until recently IUP was the exact opposite ... and was struggling to start games.

    I hope you're right about the crowd. Saturday afternoon games don't draw a well as Saturday night games. This game is scheduled for an afternoon because the Gannon athletic hall of fame banquet is in the evening. The inductees will be honored at halftime of the men's game.

    Still, should be the biggest crowd of the season. Fans are starting to come back after last year's 7-19 debacle. Plus, this team is much more aggressive offensively and plays a far more entertaining brand of basketball compared to Reilly's past teams.

    Big starts are one of Gannon's strengths. Gannon's had the lead after five minutes in 15 of its 18 games this season.

    IUP at Gannon
    3 p.m.
    Saturday

    * The teams are 5-5 in their last 10 meetings in the series -- IUP has won the past three
    * Gannon leads the all-time series, 22-21
    * IUP has lost 3 of its past 4 visits to The Hammermill
    * Both teams enter on long winning streaks -- Gannon's last loss came at the KCAC while IUP's last defeat came against Fairmont State
    * Gannon has won an incredible 5 OT games this year -- two of which coming in Double OT

    What's at stake:

    An IUP win would, while unofficial, all but clinch the West and give IUP hosting rights for the PSAC Tournament. Pending, of course, IUP wouldn't spiral down in its last 7 games somehow.

    Gannon, currently two games back, could make the West race real interesting with a win.


    ------

    Tomorrow should really be the Hammermill's "I'm back" moment after many fans left last season. When filled up, that's as loud a venue as there is in D2. And, as I tend to recall from past visits, the locals don't really love Coach Lombardi too much.

    A big start is imperative for the suddenly sizzling, hot-shooting Crimson Hawks. Get the crowd uninvolved.

    IUP 88
    SH 73
    Final

    Cobo 27 pts
    Glover 21
    Danielak 19

    Said all year there would eventually come a night when Blake went off ... he was red hot in the second half. What a different team they are with him making shots. Great to see.

    48-37 IUP at half .... great start but a little sloppy at end. Cottrell came out with 2 fouls and SH chipped away a bit.

    Nice crowd. SH must wish IUP played here weekly with the gate draw.

    Need to come out and bury them first 5 mins ... no deja vu.


    Rock 28 Gannon 24 half ... shootout in the Mill

    Add another factor tonight .... IUP has a two-game lead on Gannon. No need to add extra drama to the GU trip on Saturday. Gotta win this one tonight.

    Gannon hosts SRU tonight.

    That tends to tell me that it could've been a scorebook issue. I recall a few years ago when West Chester played Penn State-Abington (first NCAA D3 game for PSU-A) and the visitors were assessed a technical foul for having an incorrect lineup in the scorebook or something like that.

    Hopefully IUP remembers last year's trip to Greensburg tonight. Something tells me Joe hasn't forgot about it.

    That was the loss that ultimately cost IUP a trip to the NCAAs. Seton Hill was the hottest-shooting team I've ever seen that night in front what had to be the biggest/loudest crowd in its school history. The technical foul on the IUP bench in the final minute surely didn't help matters. Seton Hill put up 91 on IUP that night in regulation -- doesn't happen very often. Last year's game at the KCAC ... IUP slaughtered them.

    The Griffins are a pretty strange group this year ... they lose to Cheyney one night and then beat up UPJ the next. Figure that out. Seton Hill has two dynamic post players in center Spencer Casson and Noah Davis. Manny Johsua, who had a big night in the upset win last year, also is underneath.

    This is going to be a tough one tonight. Seton Hill's gym is about the size of Indiana high School. When it's packed it can be tough to play there.

    Tom also got beat up there that same night ... the rare time IUP gets swept.

    Are we referring to the men's game or the women's game?

    It could've been a scorebook issue or perhaps something like a player dunking during warmups. I know the rules changed a couple years ago where certain technical fouls are assessed one free throw instead of two.
