Game two YSU vs NKU on ESPN2

(1/2) > >>

ucfpengbuck:
3pm tip.  Looking to see what adjustments coach C makes today.

- I think the board was excited for this season with 4 starters(upper classmen) returning.

-Many have expressed that the bench is mostly frosh/walkons and the absence of Jamir Thomas and Greyson Kelly who both have college experience has stressed the progression.

-Covid has probably hurt YSU more so than most of D1 with two times shutting down the program which has resulted in very few practices.

Can't keep on harping on the same negatives.  Everyone needs to step up their game.

guinpen:
Yeah 70-60 good guys

Double ET:
Good game with great intensity. Couple of the freshmen played well on national broadcast @ espn2.

ucfpengbuck:
Much better defense and close out on the 3pt shooters.  Naz had the spin to the basket working with either hand and team rebounded and scrapped.

Bench really shrunk in the 2nd half with Alex Vargo getting minutes and producing.  Usung hero was Michael Akuchie who had 14 pts 12 rebounds.

Need DQ to get going .  Wondering with Mayes having the ball in his hands running the point if that's hurting Darius' offense or is he still getting back in the groove from a preseason injury ?

Wick250:
Much better.  We certainly salvaged this first weekend. Freshmen Mayes and Vargo were collectively 5-10 beyond the arc. They also each shot 50% total for the game. And we were 17-22 from the line!

Unless it is somehow tied to his injury, it makes little sense to have DQ play on the wing. His greatest asset is his ability to penetrate and take the ball to the hoop.  Much harder when you are not running point.
