An amazing run ... Four in a row is an incredible achievement.

Just got back from it. Nice defensive battle, and I thought one of the better-officiated PSAC games I've seen this year. Yeah, they missed a call here and there, but mostly just let 'em play so the teams decided the outcome. And they were consistent with it in the second half, which has been unusual this season. I think IUP and Mercyhurst will represent the conference well. Porterfield was a load and one of the keys for IUP. They'd be unreal if he was working on two good legs.

Congrats to IUP. That was an instant classic. Great game.
And there is simply no one in the region who matches up with Sulaiman. That kid is a unicorn.

Sometimes the champ gets knocked down and you have to make sure he doesn’t get back up. Unfortunately for ESU the champ got back up off the mat just before halftime and at that point you just knew IUP was going to find a way. Great teams have moments like this and it’s part of what makes them great. Other teams start to believe they can’t win so they find a way to lose. Mercyhurst won’t be one of those teams. They’ve been the one team to consistently prove they can beat IUP and they’ll come into today’s game expecting to win. I think ESU came in hoping to win, which is a very different thing.

Yeah, IUP had a bad half, but as you allude to, ESU could have done a lot better as well. I think it was six minutes into the game before they scored, and they were throwing the ball all over the place the first half — 13 turnovers at halftime I believe. IUP certainly forced some of them, but several of them were basically unforced poor passes. The Warriors basically had the game there for the taking and couldn't pull it in.

I'd agree with him.
However, getting it to 5 (amazingly) at half was massive. ESU probably should have been up 12-14 at halftime.
IUP literally couldn't make a shot in the first half and had open looks. They also must have missed 5-6 layups in the first 20 minutes. What was sickening was they forced a ton of turnovers and didn't cash them in.
I suspect they'll shoot it much better tomorrow. That court takes some adjustment with the sight-lines, etc.

Lot of IUP people out and about in Shippensburg. I suspect many more will make the trip tomorrow.
It's about 4.5 hours each way from Erie which is a major haul for a day trip. The gym tomorrow should be about 98 percent IUP.

Mercyhurst had next to no fans at the game. It will be a very pro IUP game tomorrow.
