Plenty of Local Options for College Basketball Fans.

While Pitt’s big win over West Virginia grab most of the headlines, there are some other local teams making news. If you can’t make it to a sold out Pitt game, Robert Morris leads their conference, and Duquesne is a respectable 12-6. In Division II women’s IUP and Cal our both top ten teams heading into their big showdown Wednesday night. In men’s D2, I saw a nationally ranked Gannon team defeat a 14-2 IUP squad Saturday night. I think every local high school basketball player should make it point to get to a few IUP games each year. Division II offers a much more team oriented game, and in a smaller gym you can get feel for the quickness and movement of the game. Tickets are cheap, and if you basketball you should try making it to a local college game.
