YSU - Oakland MBB

(1/2) > >>

mudclods:
Brutal first half, giving up 50.  Was tied at 16 at nearly the halfway in the first half and gave up 22 straight.  YSU was out-hustled, lost their composure, and couldn't get shots to fall during that stretch.  It felt similar to the start of the second half against WVU.  Settled down at the end of the first half but would have liked to see them get it down to 12 or so.  Akuchie has been tremendous with 15 of the 34, but no one else has stepped up.  Big difference is they've knocked down 7 3's to YSU's 2.  YSU has really been struggling of late shooting 3's.

YsuPride:
looks like YSU did the usual meltdown.   Starters scored all but 16 points led by Akuchie with 21pts.   He also had 8 rebs to boot.     Cohill had 12 and Olison contributed with 14 on 6-13 fg     YSU was just 8-28  28.6% from behind the arch.    oh well with 3 pt shooting like that you cannot compete.    on the flip side Oakland was much better at the 3 ball than YSU going 13-28   46.4%   thats 5 more 3 pointers than us so i can see what was the difference

It was competitive game outside the ridiculous 22-0 run by Oakland after the shot clock debacle that caused a long delay. Their ability to hit 3's vs YSU's inability was the big difference; however, nonetheless they are a better team

ucfpengbuck:
#11 for Oakland was getting free looks from three and knocking them  down which was a problem and a mystery that YSU could not get to the designated shooter.  He helped put the game away and YSU was in catch up mode the rest of the game.
13 games into the season I'm not sure if this team is good,average or below average.  Akuchie has been consistent while several others have shined one game or another but not consistently.  Cohill looks like he can be the guy and seems to be getting in a groove but foul trouble the last few games have been a issue.

Wick250:
The course of the season will be determined by Sunday evening.  If we are 4-2, we can contend for one of the top four spots (and a first round home game in the conference tournament.)  If we are 3-3 (or, gulp, 2-4) the season will yet again be all but lost.
