YSU - RMU MBB

YSU is a 7.5-point favorite tonight. 

Last year YSU lost both home games to RMU.  They are 7-8 this year and 2-2 in the league.  They beat Wright St by 21 at Wright St, they beat PFW by 5, lost to NKU by only 4 at NKU and lost CSU by 9.  Some of their other losses include Ohio St, Dayton & Marshall. 

I feel like this is an important game for YSU.  Need to bounce back after the PFW loss at home, can't lose another one at home if they are going to compete for a title.  Saturday should be a given against IUPUI.  Need to get to 4-2 before heading on the road for 4 straight. 

I'd like to see YSU get off to a strong start early.  That seems to be lacking this year.  YSU is only +46 in the first half compared to +119 in the second half. 

Coach said in his press conference on Wednesday that they are still looking for a 5th starter.  He mentioned Hunter, McBride, and Lovelace.  Not sure what the deal with Shemar is; he wasn't mentioned.  His mins have dropped.  I know Coach had said he missed 2 days of practice last week due to being stuck in Toronto in the snowstorm and that's why he didn't play much in the CSU game, but did start in the PFW for Cohill then only played the first 3 mins.  He also said Covington is going to play this weekend. 

YsuPride:
It will be another close game.  I think RMU is better than the record indicates and we typically struggle with RMU.
Look for another close game at Beeghly.   Hopefully we can pull this one out.  All road games left will be hard to win unless we play really good defense.  Hit 3 pointers and don't have Cohill bring the ball up.  Teams are a figuring us out and press is what they will do with ball pressure at half court on Cohill.  Just my thougts.
3RD home loss this early in the league will be devastating.

We lost to RMU at home in the Horizon tournament last year        Got off to a bad start

mudclods:
Shemar is using a crutch so that explains that.
