THE GAMES AT A GLANCE
The 12th-ranked Crimson Hawks continue their early season home slate with a pair of PSAC crossover games this weekend, hosting Shippensburg on Saturday and 8th-ranked Kutztown on Sunday. Tipoff for both games is 3 p.m. at the Kovalchick Complex. This is the second straight home weekend for IUP, which enters with a perfect 7-0 overall record, including 2-0 in the PSAC. Both Shippensburg and Kutztown come in at 5-0 and 2-0. 

STORYLINES
• This is IUP's fourth 7-0 start under HC Joe Lombardi, and first since 2014-15; the other years IUP had 7-0 starts were 2013-14 and 2009-10
• IUP's game against Kutztown will be its first against a nationally-ranked opponent this year; The Crimson Hawks went 0-2 against Top 25 teams last season (85-72 at #10 Fairmont State; 90-89 at #17 West Chester)
• Three of the five players in the PSAC who average a double-double will be showcased in Saturday's matchup with Shippensburg; IUP So. F Jacobo Diaz (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain/CBA Gran Canaria) (17.0 ppg, 10.3 rpg) will go against Shippensburg's Dustin Sleva (20.8 ppg, 12.2 rpg) and John Castello (11.4 ppg, 10.0 rpg)
• IUP has two players with individual PSAC awards this season, as Diaz was named the PSAC West Athlete of the Week on Nov. 21 and Fr. G Malik Miller (Farrell, Pa./Farrell) earned Freshman of the Week honors on Nov. 14
