Lots to look forward to this year! Plenty of returning starters along with some nice newcomers including the ECU transfer. I would say a top 5 finish in the conference wouldn't be a surprise!

Open the season Tuesday night!

Really looking forward to this year more than any in recent years.  I think this is best YSU team in years with what's returning.  Think there's a shot at a winning record and top 5 of the Horizon League.  Odd way to start the year with Thiel on Tuesday then Louisville on Sunday, which I've seen ranked anywhere from 3rd to 7th. 

Sports Illustrated has us ranked 189 & 5th in the Horizon.  I really think we have a shot at getting 8 non-conference wins.   Would be nice to have a winning record heading into League play, regain some of the magic from last year, be more consistent and play better defense.

I'm super pumped for this season.   There's a lot of versatility where many can play different positions.   My biggest concern is the post.  Only two there and foul trouble can make us a small team.  This should be a team that can get out and run the floor and there is depth at every position except center.

Playing Thiel is more or less an exhibition .  Kind of like OSU played Cedarville.



I just read that Olamadie Pedersen is going to miss the first 8 games with a broken hand.  Post is really thin with depth.  Akuchie will most likely fill in .

I knew Ola had that broken hand back in the summer and missed those exhibition games but I didn't realize he wouldn't be ready for the opener.  He's one I really hope can improve this year.  Wish Sally had stuck around to give us size in the post.
