The IUP men’s basketball teams battled Shepherd last night at the KCAC and both came up with wins, with the men getting a very special performance from Bryce Radford. Here’s Jack Benedict.
For women’s coach Craig Carey, the second-half turnaround for his team was keyed by team defense.
Men’s coach Joe Lombardi says his patchwork team, minus three key guards who he’d been counting on, can still play quality basketball.
Lombardi says coaching the IUP men is as much about leading young men as it is about winning games.
Bryce Radford, who a few weeks ago was working in an office job in West Virginia, says his return to IUP has been a blessing.
Guard Dallis Dillard had knee surgery yesterday and redshirt guard Denzel Kabasele will have knee surgery on Friday.
The IUP women have a non-conference game scheduled at one o’clock on Saturday afternoon at the KCAC against Daemen University, a school out of western New York. That game could be affected by the coming snowstorm. The Crimson Hawks’ men are off until next Wednesday, when they will host Mercyhurst.
