I was hoping for a bounce back, solid performance today to get rid of the taste of the last 2 losses that YSU gave away. I certainly don't feel any better, and other than getting a must win, feel even worse to be honest.
I would love to know how may layups, put backs, dunks or whatever you want to call it YSU missed today. I know IUPUI had a ton of turnovers, but it was even way more than I expected...28!!! YSU scored 33 points off those turnovers, but there had to be a half dozen fast breaks off those turnovers that YSU missed layups, several by Rush alone. Really if IUPUI took care of the ball even somewhat better they probably win that game.
Brett Thompson nearly single-handedly won the game for YSU in the 2nd half. He scored the 1st 5 points of the 2nd half and I think all 20 of his points came in the 2nd half.
YSU got out-rebounded 45-33! Only 10-16 from the FT line and shot under 30% from 3.
YSU was a 17-5-18.5 favorite and there's no reason they aren't more than 20-30 points better than IUPUI.
This might have been one of Brandon Rush's worst game I've seen him play.
