YSU - CSU MBB

(1/2) > >>

This game reminded me of YSU games from years past when we just couldn't get stops & missed too many close range shots & layups. In addition giving up too many easy baskets when we tried to press them. CSU wanted the game more & you could tell that from the start. The 50-50 balls & the bounces really seemed to go there way.

Every time CSU got the lead up to 7-9, YSU would fight back but never could get over the hump. I thought a big key was how the 1st half ended & the 2nd half started. YSU lost the momentum at the end of the half & CSU scored the first 4 fast.

The shame of it was YSU really shot the ball well from 3. Simmons & Akuchie were knocking down 3's & Naz had another tremendous game. Give them credit for shutting down Quisenberry. That was a big factor.

Really wish we could get more out of Jamir & Ola. They didn't even get many mins. I wish Jamir would stop taking those long range shots

I had a bad feeling about this game. CSU seems to have YSU's number- that's 5 straight. They were a better team than their record & was afraid YSU might not have the intensity. I would have taken 2 out of 3 to start the season on the road but missed a big chance to get a leg up.

That was a game this team had to win. CSU owns Calhoun since he got here...

YsuPride:
The next two home games are must wins. Lose one or both then it changes the Outlook of how we finish in the conference upper echelon. Yesterday seemed like we couldn't play any defense and we got outrebounded and out of hustled

It took a buzzer beater 3 pointer by Cam Morse to beat CSU in Calhoun's first Horizon League game.  Since then, that's 5 straight losses.

Mud, good observations on the game.
I watched the entire game on ESPN 3. I think we had trouble with CSU because they played the similar style of game as YSU.

All 5 of their guys ran up and down the court and also all went for the rebounds. We had trouble blocking them out.
The other problem that we had was that we did not any one could shoot the step back or pull up 10-12 foot jump shots.
We shot the 3s or drove in the the lay ups . Unfortunately, we missed many lay ups because the defense collapsed . A short pull up jumpers might be able to keep the defense honest.

They definitely had our numbers. My goodness, they were picked to finished last in the league. We were able to defeat UIC (picked #2) on their home court. But, we could beat CSU.
