YSU - NKU MBB
Penquin68:
We have sure taken steps backward in our performance. The teams with bigger inside players really give us trouble since Michael and Will are thinner and the bigger stronger inside guys have their way with us with easy inside baskets. And on the other end they make it difficult for us to score inside. Jamir could help in those situations. Other team's offense looks easy and our almost impossible. We need our inside guys to get tougher to give us a chance in those games.
As for the others we don't have subs that can come in and contribute signicantly except for Miles. Chris Shelton is a mystery to me. His defense must not be up to the coaches expectations because he seems to have the biggest upside of the other subs except for Miles. Daniel needs to get his shot improved for next season to have any help for us on offense. And Luke's size will always be a negative so the rest of his game needs to be top notch to have a positive impact. His shooting, especially since his hand injury, has been down.
Hopefully we can get a new player or two for next season to get to the level of the top teams in the league. As for the upcoming tournament, I think we are facing an uphill battle.
YSU1:
The Robic/Slocum years destroyed the mens basketball program.

Chris Shetlon led the nation last year in 3 PT % at 48.6%. This year he's just a tick over 30%, has missed his last 9 attempts, is just 5 of his last 29, and hasn't made one since January 23.
While I didn't expect YSU to win both games, the biggest disappointment was they were basically beat from start to finish in both and really weren't competitive like they've been in every league game this year other than the first Oakland game. I knew Wright St. was going to be tough. They didn't have all of their starters in the home game that YSU was able to pull out. I thought YSU would rebound and give NKU a game and maybe pull off the win. YSU should have beaten them in the home game.
After struggling during the early part of the league season, Myles has been very good and is what you expected for his season year. Ogoro has been the biggest disappointment. I was excited about him after showing some flashes of greatness last year. You have to wonder if Chicone's hand injury has affected him. He just hasn't been the same and has only scored 8 total points since that injury. Shelton, Ogoro, and Chicone just haven't shot the ball well at all.
I expect YSU to regroup and play well on Tuesday. It would be demoralizing if they loss. Then barring an upset would have to go on the road Thursday to PFW. Didn't play great in either game against PFW this year but after this past weekend I can't say it would be better to play WSU or NKU
