Wright St MBB game
mudclods:
Played much better after Thursday's NKU game. Could almost say they played well enough to win...really had a lot of opportunities but Wright St made some big blocks that looked like easy buckets down the stretch that really stopped YSU momentum. It's a shame YSU couldn't knock down some of those 3's...just 4 of 21. Akuchie had a great look late & missed it...that one really stood out along with those blocks and Quisenberry couldn't get that one layup to fall when he got fouled. Give YSU credit for hanging tough, every time it looked like Wright St. was about to pull away, YSU went on a mini run...just could never get over the hump.
16-18 at the FT line is very impressive, but unfortunately Wright St got to the line 30 times.
Was good to see Jamir back in there. Had 12 rebounds and played well I thought. I just wonder why he didn't play Thursday.
That's 6 straight losses to Wright St. In 8 of YSU's 9 losses, they've given up 73 or more. And on the other hand, YSU has only won 1 game this year when the opponent has scored 73 or more.
NKU hammered CSU by 25. There's no doubt Wright St & NKU are the 2 best teams again. I was really hoping YSU could get a split, but is now in a 3-way tie for 3rd. Good thing is now 5 straight at home and none of them are against NKU or Wright State. We'll see after this stretch where we stand with the second tier teams.

This team is just missing that one thing to make them from a good team to a really good/great top of the conference team. They are close...

Rob Schmidt said on the broadcast that Jamir was out on Thursday with a back problem.
We are close, but need another top player to help. Also I thought the refs were against us, but maybe that is because I am a YSU fan. Love got away with pushing a lot I thought. Need Jamir to touch the ball underneath more in my opinion to get us more easy points.

We have been saying that for quite some time. The answer is resources.
Wick250:
We are tied for third place. We have 7 of the last 11 games at home. The two most difficult road games are behind us. We are healthy. Outside of WSU and NKU, nobody in the league has a better team. No excuses. Get the job done. If this team falls out of third place, it will be a major failure.
