He can take over games, but over the last 2 years I've seen games where he's struggled shooting the ball.

I'd be surprised if he makes the NBA.  He has averaged 20 ppg this year, but for his 5 year career he's avg 9.5 ppg, he's under 70% from the FT line, and 26% from 3.  He's avg 6.5 rebounds the last 2 years and 4.1 for his career.  He was at Kansas his 1st 2 years then at Iowa St in his 3rd year and followed his coach Danyial Robinson to CSU.

ucfpengbuck:
Really like Enaruna and he was a great transfer for CSU.  His achillies heel might be his perimeter game that will more than likely make him an over the seas player. If that area gets better with time then perhaps he'll make the league.   Great at taking it to the hoop.  Like pride said he's the guy we have to slow down.

CSU has a few good knockdown 3 point shooters and the D needs to swarm to these guys.   YSU likes to get into transition and so does YSU so the no-brainer point is that the better defensive team will get the W.

His weakness is definitely his shooting.  He can take over a game inside.  Hopefully YSU can force him to take mid-range shots where he can struggle.

In YSU's last 3 losses they've given up 82, 84 & 81.  In their last 10 wins, they've held opponents to 77 or less every game other than the 2 OT games against Milwaukee.

In CSU's last 3 losses, they've only scored 73 or less.

CSU is only 5-10 on the road this year with really their only good road win to PFW by 3.

Defense is going to win the tourney.  I think if YSU can hold them to the low 70s, we'll be in good shape.

According to Fan Duel as of this evening

Interesting that YSU is an 8.5 point favorite, while Oakland is only a 3.5 favorite against PFW.

Wright St is a 7.5 point favorite against NKU and Green Bay is only a 1.5 point favorite against Milwaukee.

YsuPride:
I hate to say this but we should beat Cleveland St tonight as long as we play solid defense.   Defense is the key to victory in the tournament and post season in general.   Lot of lower scores in the tournaments in college basketball
