YSU - NKU MBB

(1/2) > >>

mudclods:
Hard to believe YSU can shoot 56% from the field with 6 made 3's and a better % from the field than NKU but trail by 8 at halftime.  Give up 9 3's, have 9 turnovers, and can't believe Shemar missed 3 of 4 from the FT line.  YSU had some opportunities to expand the lead in the first half but didn't do it.  Only 3 points for Cohill after Wright State shut him down on Thursday.  YSU needs to slow down NKU and take care of the ball better if they are going to have a chance in the 2nd half.

The offense execution against the NKU was terrible.   Akuchie worst game of his career and Cohil was just as bad.  Beat up on the boards especially offensive rebounds.
Was it great shooting By NKU or bad defense by YSU ?    Why is Ogoro in there against the zone when he's not a shot maker.  Why not Shelton ?

Good News is that they have a clean slate on there next home game.   Why not us and why not this Horizon league tournament !!

YSU loses by 14 two days after losing by 13 to Wright State.  Disappointing to have a shot at the #2 seed to enter the weekend and control their own destiny for a top 4 seed and honestly not very competitive in either game basically getting beat from start to finish.  And then end up a #7 seed after starting the year 3-1 and going 8-1 in another stretch.

In this game YSU was down 16 in the 2nd half and NKU didn't score a FG for over 6 mins making just 1 FT.  YSU was able to get it down to 9, but had a lot of opportunities to really chew into the lead and couldn't take advantage of the opportunity.  Olison hit a 3 to get it down to 9 and then Coach called a TO, which sometimes I don't understand.  NKU finally scored a FG on the next possession and that was it.  YSU never got any closer.   YSU was a -9 on the boards and NKU just out-hustled them.

Thought Will Dunn played well with 14 and had a couple other opportunities to score inside and didn't.  9 points combined by Cohill and Akuchie...not going to win when that happens.  Myles had another nice game off the bench.   WSU and NKU both shut down Cohill.

YSU will play RMU at home on Tuesday.  Beat them by 4 on the road and lost to them by 5 at home to end their 6 game win streak so it's not going to be easy.

ucfpengbuck:
it's pretty bad when your leading rebounder is your 5-10 pt guard who had 5.   Will Dunn has been good but only 1 rebound is not going to make a case for more minutes.  Team was great on the boards first two thirds of the season and as of late though toughness has gone south.
Myles Hunter has been playing his best basketball of late.  Great mid range shooting.

Mud,I didn't know we were playing RMU.   I'm sure they won't be intimidated.

Just haven't looked sharp, struggled running the offense as everything looks difficult, definitely getting out-muscled.& too easy on the other end for both WSU & NKU. All year YSU has been competitive and outside of the first Oakland game, they've been in every league game. Didn't feel that that way in either of the games. These 2 reminded me of years past when double figure losses were common.

Going to be an uphill battle now. YSU was just 1-7 this year against the top 4 seeds with their only win a come from behind at home against Wight State.
