Played very well the first half. Cohill has been amazing. Downside is just 1-10 from 3 and have had a lot of good looks; a few were in and out. YSU has done well taking care of the ball and doing a good job on the boards. Now let's hope the 2nd half struggles don't continue. Fresno State has only won 1 game this season when trailing at the half.
The TV broadcast has been horrible. Many times the screen went black, audio is slightly behind, could hear a girl in the background calling replay to the announcers, scoreboard wasn't updated the last several mins

Another 5-8 minute breakdown in the second half got them! Other than that, good effort! Now, let us see who stays and who goes!

Shame to lose that one. Thought YSU played really hard but that stretch during the 2nd half after YSU built the lead to 10 and then it was turnover after turnover and they made a lot of shots. YSU took care of the ball in the first half with only 4 turnover, but had 10 in the 2nd half and there had to be 6 within a few mins. Then when Akuchie fouled out that pretty much sealed the deal. Just hated to see his career end that way.
Cohill was just outstanding once again. When was the last time someone from YSU had 8 assists? That in addition to 26 points. I hope he hasn't played himself out of YSU. It was nice to see Jamir Thomas go out with probably his best game of the year. Wish we could have saw more of that throughout the year.
A lot of credit to YSU in this one as they seemed to really utilize their game plan. Even though they lost, I felt that was the best they'be played since probably the Oakland & Detroit wins during the end of their 6 game win streak.
On a side note, thought Fresno State taking it down to dunk it at the end when YSU called off the dogs was pretty cheap. Not sure the last time I saw a team do that

The 2nd half has hurt YSU all year. Of course Fresno State had only won 1 game when trailing at the half all year. The final numbers for the season is YSU was +109 in the first half and ended up -3 in the 2nd half & OT combined. That really was the demise of the season. Not sure if that's coaching, not executing or just the other teams making better adjustments/executing or probably a combination of everything.

Had a stretch in the 2nd half where too many turnovers which killed us from holding the lead along with Akuchie fouling out. Not enough size to win a war against their two 7-0 footers. Outside of Jamir nothing else from the bench. Fresno really keyed on Cohill in the 2nd half.
Fresno announcers where very complementary towards the program despite a crappy production.
Outside of playing UCLA in 2007 not sure the last time the Penguins were in California.
