PSAC Women's Basketball (18-19)

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It would be fantastic for the IUP campus and Indiana community at large to host a region tourney. At least they have some space between them and the Lady Vulcans now. But you still have to worry about what Virginia Union is doing down there. Only one loss as well. Not sure how tough their competition is.

Win out and they host both. Just sayin'

Is there a way logistically that both the IUP women and men can host the Atlantic regional? I think that one school out west hosted both, but I'm not sure if that was the exception? Has there been any talk about this?

I'd guess the women would play in the Field House.

I'm sure the NCAA is already working on a plan. It can work...

Obviously IUP has 2 facilities capable of holding regionals in, which most schools don’t. The only day where you’d really have an issue would be Saturday where the men’s first round and women’s semifinals would be scheduled. If they really wanted to have both regionals entirely in the KCAC, probably the only way would be to move the women’s semis to Sunday and have those in the afternoon and the men’s semis at night, which would actually be pretty awesome.

IUP would need to win out and have Virginia Union pick up another loss. Remember IUP played a horrendous non-conference schedule (Cheyney twice, for example). Virginia Union played a way tougher lineup.

There's also the Cal problem still ahead of them in the Angelo Dome. Round 3 would be neutral court out east. I can see Edinboro beating Cal but Slippery Rock was just baffling. I've seen IUP run SRU out of the building twice -- and also destroy Edinboro. I can't imagine how Cal lost to SRU. All of that said, Cal knows how to play against IUP and has a roster that, when fired up, can cause all sorts of problems. IUP is a very finesse team and you saw Cal bring a heavy dose of physical play in the first meeting. Now, that may not work twice. The odds of Carolyn Appleby having another bad game against them aren't good.

Long story short, despite being 20-1 (or whatever it is) ... I think they need some help to host. If they finish with the same record as VUU I think they will lose out in the metrics.

Gigantic game in the CIAA tonight.

Bowie State (18-4) at Virginia Union (20-1)

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Bowie State is laying it on Virginia Union.

Big night for the IUP ladies.

I would like to think that Glenville would be the current second seed after looking at the region records. Their 16-1 should trump Virginia State's 12-2.

Glenville has a loss to a sub .500 team.

VUU has also played a superior schedule.

A superior schedule which includes a win over Edinboro for VUU.

Here's a bump for the huge IUP at Cal game at 1 p.m.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Cal got real physical with the finesse IUP in Round 1. How does IUP adjust?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Wow did IUP butcher those last 30 seconds.

Unreal

[IUPbigINDIANS]

20-17 IUP end Q1

[IUPbigINDIANS]

IUP gonna get blown out. They just aren't athletic enough to play Cal. Too finesse. I don't know the women's game much ... only game I watch all year. Cal just looks vastly more athletic and faster.

They aren't physical enough is more like it!

[IUPalum]

Appleby needs to play better!
