IUPUI has been on tailspin since COVID. Last year they were 3-26 with 1 D1 victory over Robert Morris. This year they are 3-13 with 1 D1 over Texas A&M Commerce.
This really had the feel of a D3 game. YSU won by 31 but it probably could have been 40 or more.
Tied the 3-point and assist record in the game. 9 of the 11 players that shot a 3 made one. Crazy to think Brandon Rush was one that didn't.
I can see why Coach gushed about Lovelace. He might the X factor on this team. He really can do it all. Cohill had a double-double in 28 mins- 10 assists was impressive.
It was good to see everyone play. I don't think Shelton is in the doghouse...he's definitely played a lot less this year, but I think it's just the talent that's on this roster. Coach complimented him in one of the post-game press conferences. Last year he shot just 31% from 3, this year he's at 50% but has shot 75 less 3's. I think what he did Saturday was the hope of what he could do when YSU brought him in. In 20-21 at Hampton he led the nation in 3 PT % at 49%.
Haven't heard any further update on Shemar. Coach was hoping he'd only be out a few weeks.
Up next are Detroit & Oakland. I'd imagine the Detroit game will be a shootout. Oakland has won 4 straight
