If Mercyhurst is allowed to maul , position pushing -hand checking D then teams are in a battle - if ref’s call it close - Mercyhurst in deep trouble .

You're absolutely correct. They likely won't get away with that in Joe's house tomorrow but we'll see.

We’ll know once we see the officials walk into the building.

That is spot on . Foul on every play - who when where on clock -
Ref’s are human
- at times it’s a difficult balance -
make call at 2 minutes in …. Make it late .

That’s one way to look at it. Not sure I’d go that far, but they would benefit from a more physical game. Then again, IUP is a lot bigger. I wouldn’t say they foul on every possession though.

They’ve been winning by huge margins lately, including against your Raiders (granted, some of the other wins have been against weaker teams) so I wouldn’t say it’s because of the officiating. I’ve seen East Stroudsburg play this year and they’re also very handsy and aggressive.

Not exactly impressive, 'Boro, when you can't bother to find a PBP guy to accompany your video feed.

Well, turns out they weren’t allowed to do those things and the fouls mounted quickly. I can’t say I agree with all of the calls (both teams had bad calls go against them), but there was just no way Hurst was going to match up physically and that resulted in foul trouble. IUP defended the 3-point line much better in the second half holding the Lakers to just 4-14 from deep after giving up seven 3’s and better than 50% in the first half.

Even though IUP won by double digits, I don’t think they played to their capability. I’ll add that Mercyhurst is very, very good and well coached. I think they’re the best team IUP has seen this year.

IUP should have won by 20+

Here's my "I told you so" moment:


Gannon beat the pi$$ out of UPJ today in Johnstown.

The then-0-10 Knights won by 19.

Gannon was the best 0-10 team in history.

Didn’t UPJ win?

It's students doing their announcing. It's hard when there are no students on campus...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Didn’t UPJ win?

Yeah, it did. The PSAC web site reported it reversed.


Gannon is 0-11

There goes their Dixon Trophy!

Not lost on me. And yet, I'm wondering how many other PSAC schools would not have found somebody, a local radio guy are somebody, to pick up the slack.

Or ... perhaps the SID ...

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find somebody.
