YSU vs The Cuse

[Penguin Nick]

Will we play better in this game than against Ohio State?
The game is at 1pm, honestly I'm far more interested in this game than the football game.  I'll be at the football game but would prefer watching this game on TV.

I probably will watch this game on my iPad on ACC network and my YSU football game on my tv on ESPN +.
Who knows, I might turn the YSU football game off by half time.

Syracuse barely beat Lemoyne and Colgate in 1st two games so they can be had.  Should have lost to Colgate as Colgate had many attempts at final possession to win but couldn't get the ball to fall.  So we have a shot.  Plus we have  5 days to prepare.  If we get blown out then time for some concern.

YSU is ranked 344th out of 345 D1 teams in three point shooting at 19%.  (saw that on Syracuse message board) It's only 2 games but they need guys to step up and hit shots.  Just saw YSU was 183 on Ken Pom ranking and the only Horizon team ranked ahead of us was Ft Wayne at 123.  Only throwing it out there and we all know it's way too early to really care about rankings.

I just checked. The game is now listed on ESPN+ rather than on ACCN as listed earlier.
Both YSU football and MBB games will now be carried on ESPN+ according to the ESPN+ schedule.

Love the way these refs are keeping Syracuse in the game early on!

[ucfpengbuck]

Penguins actually showing their offense.   Dynes gets two early fouls and it opened the post for Syracuse.  This is where we miss Zorgval.   EJ doing a nice job off the curl. Like him 15 feet in opposed to shooting 3s.  Long way to go.

[Double ET]

Up 32-27 with 3:51 to go in 1st half

[Double ET]

YSU leadin 38-31 at intermission with Dynes on the sideline most of first half due to foul troubles.

[ucfpengbuck]

Up 7 at half.  Trying to not get too excited.  Do not expect Syracuse to keep on missing 3s.  Defense especially switching is going to make or break this game.  I was tough on EJ the first two games but he has carried the load the first half.

[YsuPride]

Funny we are doing this without much help from Dynes.  Nice to see.

[Double ET]

Farmer did well. He didn’t try to take those 3s. He drove to the basket instead.

[ucfpengbuck]

Go to a zone !!

[ucfpengbuck]

Can't make a low throw to Dynes in that situation.  Felt like we had this game about 10 times.

Miracle that we're in double ot.  Maxey with two 3 pointers.  Down 8 with a little over a minute with the rally.
