YsuPride:
Must win this game on the road tomorrow night.   Lets see how we respond to a loss.  They are beatable.

YsuPride:
Plus we have two players who used to play for them

I don’t think the tall one will see any action.

YsuPride:
Ya your right.  He is not as good as dynes.  Too many fouls.

NKU is 7-7 and also 2-1 in the league.  Their league wins came against RMU by 16 & IUPUI by 18 and most recently lost to PFW by 13.  They lost to Akron by 1 at home.  Some of their other notable losses are Cincinnati, Washington, and Saint Mary's. 

YSU has lost 12 of the last 14 games to NKU.  YSU has only beaten NKU once at NKU since they joined the league in 2016 and that came in 2020, which is 1-8.  The closest game was last year's 2OT loss by 4.  They lost to them by 7 in 2019, while the other 6 losses were double digits. 

NKU Junior Sam Vinson is out for the season with a knee injury.  He's started every game for the last 3 years for NKU.  Averaged 11.2 in his freshman year, 11.8 last year, and 13.3 this year.  He's killed YSU in the past.

NKU is only a 1-1.5 point favorite, which is a little surprising it's not more, but I'm sure the injury to Vinson was a factor.

Hard to say this early it's a must win, but the loss at home to Oakland makes it that much more important.  It sure would be nice to be 3-1 going into a 3 game homestand with IUPUI up first.  After that it's not going to be easy with PFW, who YSU always struggles with, Wright St, and on the road to Oakland.
