Originally posted by GSCfan1275 View PostWhat’s happening in Institute, WV, WV State is in a free fall since losing to Glenville on 1/18. They have now lost 4 in a row.
I would expect their focus to be razor sharp on Wednesday. If there's a game they know how to get up for it's when WLU comes to town. That's gonna be an incredibly tough one to pick once IUPbigIndians posts the Pick 'Em for the week. I expect WVSU to be ferocious in their defense of the home court on Wednesday (unlike their mousy effort yesterday afternoon).

I heard that the reason was to make it easier for friends and family and donors from a distance to come see the games. If you have a 1-2 hour drive, much easier in the winter to do that with a 3 PM tip.
I think there is one Saturday night game late in the year.

That is correct. Most, from what I've heard, like the 3pm better.

During football season I've been up to a couple of Penn State night games, and there's nothing like trying to get out of State College late at night after and a football game and then driving three hours to the southern part of the state.Last edited by Ship69; 01-29-2023, 05:13 PM.

I didn't like the change last year (this started last season) but I've slowly changed my opinion. It's nice to go to the game and out to dinner afterward.
A lot of the IUP players are from the Erie area. Their families attend every game. That's a tough drive home in the winter when the game wouldn't end until 10 p.m.

A lot of chaos still to come with these rankings. A lot of these teams still have to play each other again: FSU/WL, IUP,HURST, IUP/UPJ, etc. These rankings are probably going to change ten times over.

Ship is having an excellent year, but I think I'd have to rate Gannon above them based on their head-to-head game.

IUP women about 3 years ago had athletes with good size and ability. Seemed like they could play a lineup of 5-10 / 6-0 across the positions. They are much smaller today and that seems to be an equalizer. That has dropped them off the top line. A player like Cardona sitting out a game creates a major hole and led to them dropping the SRU game. The D1 transfers are not having the impact that past transfers did.
IUP was due for a down year (especially with the abrupt coaching change) and I’m sure the rest of the conference is relieved about that. A couple legit transfers can bring them back to the top 5 in the Atlantic. Question is if the current coach can seal the deal especially with the interim tag and no guarantee he will be retained. I think the opening will be posted by April 1 based more on approach than by wins/losses.
