IUP Women's Basketball | 2019-20

Grace could technically play now since her season is over.

Not even sure she's joining but last year she joined at start of second semester.

Their starting five is solid. That bench, however, needed beefed up.

They are playing much faster. It's refreshing not to see the Norman Dale offense that Tom loved.

Hawks just blew out a good Ohio Dominican team, 79-61. ODU got about 10 points when IUP emptied the bench at the end.

They looked pretty good. They don't go outside of the starting five hardly at all. That further explains the mid-year transfers allegedly on the way. No word yet if a third mid-year addition is also coming (Grace Magnapora). Recall she joined the team second semester last year after the volleyball season. She can play and would be a big boost.

That's a 5-0 start for the new coach. Tonight was a good win against a quality opponent.

ODU's star had (I think) 38 of their 61 points.

Sounds like immediate (2nd semester).

The new coach went in with a real small roster. I think they only had 12 players. No fault of his own, of course. Tom decided to retire so late that it left whomever took over hanging.

I assumed they'd try to add a couple mid-year transfers. It's fairly rare but it does happen.

They are off to a good start but they've played all cupcakes. We'll learn more here shortly.

Thanks for the info.

Immediate eligibility or '23-'24 ??

Interesting story breaking.

Two Robert Morris players announced today they are transferring to IUP. It would appear both will join the team for the second semester. Both are guards.

Rosemont did a little better today ... losing at Millersville, 112-29.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Just why? This is disgusting!

LOL it was 57-5 at halftime. Should have just played Indiana High School.

They did set a women's game attendance record of just a hair under 3,000

Granted, it's a field trip for local students so that's not quite the same as drawing that at the gate.

[IUPalum]

Today was the traditional 'Education Day' women's game.

The unsung tradition of this day is scheduling a completely overmatched D3 opponent. This year the sacrificial lamb was Rosemont.


IUP 102
Rosemont 20


Regardless, IUP is 3-0

It's being reported that WVU assistant Craig Carey will be the 'interim' coach of the IUP ladies this season.

I'm assuming that is the hire but "interim" is being used because of Union stuff.

FS82 could answer this better but with all that union stuff the hiring process is very slow. Tom's last official day was in the area of mid-August. So, I don't think they could open the position until that point ... and, then it has to stay posted for like 30 days or something before they can start interviews. The privates can hire exponentially faster.

With Tom they were probably looking at a 16-14 type of season. With a new coach (and likely new style) it could be a really long season. They were gutted and their best player plays for Cal now.

All of that said, it's a very attractive job -- pay, history, facilities, support, etc. So, I'd guess some other program will soon be getting screwed with their coach leaving in late September.

Or the very best up and coming Assistant that can be persuaded/cajoled/bribed ..,.hmmm.
