I agree with Mudclods above.  We have been in many close games and you win some and you loose some.  Things went RMU's way, especially at the end of the game. The one error that the coaches made I thought was substituting almost the entire starting lineup when they were frustrated at the beginning of the 2nd half. The  minutes that lineup was in the game cost us the lead at that point which we couldn't afford. The other thing that cost us badly I thought was Dwayne Cohill's foul on the 3 point shot at the end of the 1st half when we were up 8. Who knows if the 3 would have been good, but he made the 3 free throws and it was a 5 point lead at half instead of 8. But more importantly it was the 2nd foul on Cohill and fouling on a 3 is always a bad idea. When he got to 4 fouls in the 2nd half things got bad and we really collapsed.  He could not be his aggressive self on offense or defense with 4 fouls and it hurt us.  He is so important to us in my opinion.  We were up 10 with 7 minutes to go, 64 to 54.  We only scored 4 points the rest of the game.  Without Cohill driving to the basket, our offense really is in trouble. And shots weren't falling; lots of in and out shots. I think with Cohill being himself and being supper aggressive that wouldn't have happened. And Shemar wasn't himself after the injury in the 1st half. Put it all together and it adds up to a loss. Probably the team was a little overconfident also after all the wins and RMU's recent games. Then RMU made some shots and got confidence and we were in trouble.  Hope they can get things straight and finish the season strong. We are not that bad.

Lot of negativity on this thread and I'm guilty too.   If you would have said YSU would win 6 in a row and a win over Oakland but they get a loss to 6-19 RMU you for sure would  take that deal.    I was p.o. since I saw a window to 9 in a row.   

I think coach was going nuts with a few turn overs from Shemar and went to  Luke but Chicone never looked confortable running the offense against their zone.   I'm giving Luke some slack since I didn't see a competent attack against their zone.  Guys were not moving and I saw very few screens or any decent motion.

If the penguins close out the home stand with a couple of wins,I'm sure we'll all feel good.

No Pen 68!  We are not! We are actually pretty damn good, but you can't afford to lose games at home against 6-19 teams when you are fighting to get into the top four!  Actually! The Covington injury really destroyed what would have probably been a 20-22 game win season!  I appreciate Coach Calhoun is trying really hard to get this program as one of the top teams in the league!  I imagine as hard as he is pushing and recruiting, we will really be proud of this program in the not too distant future!
