The IUP basketball teams split their doubleheader against Cal last night.   Jack Benedict has the recap. 

Men’s coach Joe Lombardi was proud of how his team battled.

Women’s coach Craig Carey says his team didn’t play smart basketball, and they’re going to have to figure it out on the floor.

Both teams play their regular season finale tomorrow night at Clarion.

The second set of Atlantic Region rankings were released yesterday and the IUP women placed second behind Seton Hill.  Edinboro, Gannon, Fairmont State, Virginia State, Kutztown, Cal. Lock Haven, and Fayetteville State follow at three through ten.  Eight teams will make the Atlantic Regional.
