    I'm surprised we don't see this more often.

    IUP can't keep players healthy. Several of us think they have a poor strength and conditioning program. Regardless, Joe goes through this every single season.

    A lot of our football players could easily transition. If they wanted to, of course.
    I don't know much about it at this point. Don't know if it was planned all along or maybe a result of the increasing number of tracksuits on the Ship bench. Have seen a little video of the kid, and it looks as if he can move a bit, and the added bulk might be nice on the boards. He'll obviously be raw at this point if he does play.

    • Ship does its level best to blow a 19-point second-half lead, but escapes at Mansfield, 82-78.

      The Raiders' bench did look very thin. But they still put five guys in double digits, including redshirt freshman Jackson Boone, who scored 10 in 9 minutes of action. Markus Frank takes only seven shots, but Timmy Conner scores 18 and nails some huge foul shots late.

      Sterling Scott with 18 for Mansfield, which showed some grit in coming back from 57-38 to 78-78. Ty Crespo scores 10 against his old teammates, and I would expect him to be a regular starter going forward.

        I don't know what they do at halftime this year, but it needs to change. The second-half letdowns are becoming a repeated theme for this year's team.

          • ESU escapes The Raider Dome with a split last night. The Women are still very much a work in progress, committing 21 turnovers in a 70-69 loss. The Men forced overtime, and won it 90-87 on an Ethan Millirons 3-pointer. Ship's Marcus Frank scored 33 points after dropping 31 on ESU last February. He's the real deal.

            • Last night's OT loss to ESU was the ninth Ship game decided by six or fewer points this season, and the Raiders have lost six of them, several in excruciating, last-second fashion. Sometimes the margin between a good and not-so-good season is very thin.

                The 'prevent defense' usually just prevents you from winning. IUP football fans know that all too well.

                I caught the end of the Ship game last night. I thought Fite actually went to a 'prevent offense' there in the final 3 minutes of regulation.

                Hindsight, of course, but it seemed like as soon as they started milking clock ESU went on a 6-0 or 8-0 run to tie it up.

                Do you think Fite tried to get too cute closing the game out?

                Ship's D on the game-winner in OT ... how in the world did they let him get such a clean shot off?

                  I didn't really think he got too cute at the end of the game. There were a couple of bad turnovers (trying to dribble up the middle against three ESU defenders for one thing) and a much-too-early three-point attempt on another occasion. And frankly, Ship was playing with a short bench against a bigger, more physical team, and I imagine some of the guys were getting a little gassed at that point. The game-winning shot was simply a misplay by the defender. He went airborne way too early for the block and sailed by Millirons, leaving him wide open. Overall, it was a very good effort for Ship. Given the way the matchups looked on paper, I really didin't expect Ship to be within 10 points of ESU.

                    There's a ton of parity in East this year. I think we'll be seeing plenty of close games and come playoff time, numerous tiebreakers will be needed to sort it all out.

                    • ESU Men pull away from a Bloomsburg team that was yelling at each other in the second half. On a day when Lakeem McAlily was in foul trouble, Evan Morton and Carson Howard came up big for the Warriors. On the road at Millersville for a huge test on Wednesday night!

                      • Denzel Figueroa apparently is the latest Shippensburg player to hit the injury list. Took a nasty spill in the game Wednesday and had a boot on Saturday. The Raiders are down to eight healthy players, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the season.

                        • I think the East is a beast this year...West Chester, Shepherd, ESU Millersville and Lock Haven all have quality wins. Heck Mansfield gave both Shippensburg AND West Chester heart attacks already. Some say the conference is down overall, but I counter with the amount of very good teams in the East, and Gannon by far the standout in the West. Slippery Rock is no slouch either.

                          • Shippensburg makes short work of Cheyney (remember them?), 95-68. It helps that Timmy Conner came out of the gate scorching -- 15 points in the first six minutes of the game.

                            Conner and Markus Frank finish with 20 each, an improving Trey Martin has 16, and Donovan Hill offers 13 points and 12 boards.

                            Figueroa played; in fact, the Raiders use 10 guys, and Drew Sleva becomes the third brother to hit a 3-pointer for Ship in garbage time.

                            • I understand our schools can’t really do it because of union contracts and a lack of money but if there was ever a performance worth telling the HC to find his own ride back today might have been it for BU. I didn’t expect them to beat WCU or even keep the game too close but a 49 point loss in year three is inexcusable.

                                Well, that was certainly a bad one, but you also had East Stroudsburg 118, Mansfield 46 today, and Shepherd 59, Kutztown 36 (and who has been coaching longer than Bernie Driscoll?). The league is totally bananas this year. A Seton Hall team beaten by Ship earlier this year takes down Gannon.
