Hopefully they do better.  Mixed emotions been an OSU fan since Alan Hornyak was a sophomore(1970).  Fanatically love YSU.  Hope the Penguins make it game unlike they did against Michigan last season.

Hopefully it's a competitive game.  I wish YSU could have gotten a few games under their belts before playing OSU & Syracuse.  Going to have to have to a better job at shooting 3's, hitting only 5 like Saturday isn't going to cut it.  Need to hit 10 or more and keep OSU in the 70s or low 80s to make it competitive.

Like I said above, YSU is going to need to make 3's to stay competitive. They've gotten good looks & are 0-5 thus down 10-2 at 16 minute media timeout. OSU has hit 2-3 & have 2 dunks.

They has a few decent looks just can't hit them.  Need to settle down on the big stage.

All things considered, YSU played well in the first half...just couldn't hit good looks.  Just 1-12 from 3 and have missed 4 FT. YSU is doing a good job on the offensive boards and got OSU into some foul trouble.  If you said they held OSU to 37 points in the first half, you would take that.  If YSU could have hit just a couple more 3's it's an entirely different game.

We need to hit some threes and free throws. We are going to the line but only 63% and 1-12 from 3.  1st 5 minutes of 2nd half will tell the tale

A question for those of you who follow basketball. Do any of our portal transfers have good reputations as outside shooters? Could the distance shooting in these first games just be an aberration? I sure hope so.

I don’t think we have a go to guys to shoot the 3 ball. OSU played tough man defense. We didn’t have too many good looks from outside. We might have to penetrate and try to do some pull up 10-12 foot jumpers.

Juwan Maxey shot 42% last year in juco ball and Uijtendaal set a record at Canisius hitting 10 3s in a game.  They're being sped up tonight by OSU talent.  Guys need to settle down and hit the open looks.

We just cannot shoot both 2 and 3 pointers.

We simply don't have the size and talent to compete with them.

OSU defense causes us to rush the shots. They are just a better team.

Hate to be the guy to say this but EJ Farmer is 1 of 19 in two games.  He needs to come of the bench.  It's early but you need to produce.  More Chris Carrol . He's been impressive.
