YSU vs UIC

(1/2) > >>

ucfpengbuck:
Maturity!    Guys played great team/help defense.  Very unselfish and great on their switches.

Crushed the UIC press with Naz playing like a point guard.   His handle is incredible and forces the bigs to cover him in the back court and opens up the floor.

Dmorton:
People need to start filling Beeghly for this team.  I think this may be one of the best seasons ever at YSU.  This guy can coach, and he has the kind of team he wants.

Double ET:
I was impressed by how well all these guys could dribble the ball against the pressure. Naz was able to dribble smoothly up court reducing the pressure for Q.
The defensive effort was there all night. We also had many drives toward the hoop by several players other than Q. However, I was surprised that Covington and Morgan were not playing all that well in the last 2 games.

 I don’t know if this is the best team that we ever had. I believe this is the fastest and best defensive team we ever had.
I have been watching YSU MBB since my freshman year in 1966.
Another observation about tonight’s game, I don’t think we had a single full court press against them all night.

Another great defensive effort.  If it wasn't for a couple of those cheap 3's at the end by UIC, they would have been held under 60.  UIC made just 2 3's until the closing seconds and that's a team that averages 8 made a game. 

Naz has really been the difference this year in a lot of games.  He's playing like how I had hoped more of last year.  He's becoming more of consistent scorer, better at finishing under the hoop or at least drawing fouls, and really controlling the boards.  Even more impressive has been his ball handling skills and pushing the ball up court.  He's tremendous and might just be the second best ball handler behind Quisenberry.   

That was a really good win.  After it went back and forth early, YSU pretty much was in control of the game leading by 5 or so points pretty much throughout.  UIC is a veteran team and to go there and win is pretty big.  YSU has really struggled with them losing 5 straight before beating them at home during the 6-game win streak.  Now YSU has a great opportunity to start 3-0 with a game Saturday at Cleveland St.  CSU has played better this year than I expected after losing several players and their coach.  It would be huge to grab 3 road games to start the year.
