I know the league is tough, but we have to take the next step! We really disappointed a pretty large crowd in YSU terms last night! Frustrating!

Just a point on the larger crowd that some posters have alluded to. I started going to games in 70s when Beeghly was new . The place was SRO for games againt Gannon,Akron and some others. The upper bleachers were packed and the place was loud so when I hear about last nights crowd it still does not compare to the steal mill era.
Their loss to Randolph Macon in 1977 was probably one of toughest punch in the gut feelings I've had. This was the first round of division 2 NCAA tournament that YSU hosted and we way more talented but they had great shooters and Jeff Covington had foul trouble that night. RMC went all the way to the final and lost to Tennessee
Chattanooga.

You had to remind me about the Randolph Macon game, I was at the game. So excited at the start and so dejected at the end.
Crowds were much larger then, recall that Philadelphia Textile usually packed in the folks also.

I remember the Textile coach pushing the chair on the floor after the game. Not quite Bobby Knight. They had a guard named Emery Sammons that was one of the best at D2.
