The Crimson Hawks have won two region crowns (2010 and 2015) and carry a 16-7 mark in NCAA tournament play during that span. This will be IUP s first NCAA tournament since finishing as the national runner-up two seasons ago, making a run through the region that included a victory over West Liberty on its own court. IUP HAS DOMINATED THE PSAC WEST; 7 REGULAR SEASON TITLES IN 8 YEARS Under Lombardi, the Crimson Hawks have been the most successful team in the PSAC. Since Lombardi arrived in 2006, no other school has more PSAC tournament titles (three), division titles (seven), or tournament appearances (10). DIAZ NAMED PSAC WEST ATHLETE OF THE YEAR, LOMBARDI NAMED DIVISION S TOP COACH So. F Jacobo Diaz became the third straight IUP player to be named PSAC West Athlete of the Year, as the league announced its awards last Thursday. Coach Lombardi was named the PSAC West Coach of the Year, the third conference honor of his career. Cobo leads the team with 14.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, is second in the PSAC with 13 double-doubles, and 10th with a 52.9 FG%. COBO s 13 DOUBLE-DOUBLES ARE SECOND IN PSAC, MOST FOR IUP PLAYER SINCE WEBB IN Diaz s 13 double-doubles this year are second most in the PSAC behind Shippensburg s Dustin Sleva (18). They re also the most for an IUP player since Darryl Webb posted 16 during his senior season of , when he averaged 17.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Diaz had a run of four straight double-double performances at the start of the season, and has 23 double-figure scoring and 17 double-figure rebounding games. COBO HEATING UP AT THE RIGHT TIME Always a steady performer, Diaz s game could be the strongest it has been all year heading into the NCAA tournament. Over the last four games he s posted three double-doubles, and leads the team with averages of 16.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and shooting percentages of 56.4 (field goal), 53.8 (3-point), and 83.3 (free throw). Cobo s last four games FGM-A 3FGM-A FTM-A PTS REB Clarion at California Mercyhurst Shippensburg IUP BOASTS BALANCED SCORING; FIVE PLAYERS AVERAGE AT LEAST 9.9 POINTS PER GAME The Crimson Hawks boast a lineup and style that allows for several players to lead the team in scoring on any given night. Heading into the NCAA tournament, four players are averaging double-figures in scoring, paced by Diaz at 14.4 points per game. Eight different players have scored in double-figures at least three times this season, with Diaz and Jr. G Anthony Glover leading the way with 23 double-digit games each. DANTE LOMBARDI AND ANTHONY GLOVER ALSO EARNED ALL-CONFERENCE HONORS Joining Diaz on All-PSAC West teams were So. G Dante Lombardi and Jr. G Anthony Glover, landing on the first and second teams, respectively. It s Lombardi s second straight postseason honor after being named Freshman of the Year last year. This is Glover s first career award. LOMBARDI ONE OF THE TOP THREE-POINT/ASSIST MEN IN THE PSAC Lombardi is one of only two players in the PSAC with 60 three-pointers and 150 assists this season, ranking 10th in the league with 69 threes and fourth with 154 assists. He recently ended a streak of 34 straight games with a three-pointer, and has 12 games this year of at least six assists, including a career-high 11 at Seton Hill. TWO CRIMSON HAWKS AMONG THE BEST IN PSAC IN THREE-POINTERS MADE Glover and Lombardi rank ninth and 10th, respectively, in the PSAC in three-pointers made. Glover s 70 and Lombardi s 69 threes are both in the top 20 in single season program history, and could threaten to break into the top five all-time (Jason Bullock, 86, ) IUP BASKETBALL PAGE 2 NCAA ATLANTIC
