Cleveland State game
Wick250:
No specific thread about this game yet? Ok, signing day is next week, but let's at least pretend that we care about basketball.
I expect that the officials will go a long way in determining the outcome of this game. Cleveland State plays the best pressuring defense in the Horizon League. Their success results from two things: very good athletes and illegal contact on nearly every possession. If the officials allow hand-checking, holding and bumping away from the ball, we are in serious trouble. If they enforce the rules properly, our team, with the best ball-handling skills in the conference, should be able to neutralize their pressure.

All chairback seats are sold and CSU is bringing 2 bus loads of people. Should be a fun atmosphere.

Saw this earlier from Will Haskett, of the Horizon League broadcast crew - YSU has lots of fans around the league tomorrow night.

A consensus among HL folks after last night's games: If Cleveland State can win tomorrow, it's their league to lose.
Pomeroy projects a 68-65 CSU win, giving YSU a 38% chance of winning.
Sagarin's ratings make CSU a 4 point favorite.
Wish I could be there. Be loud!
A chance to move in to a tie for first in the league and hold the tiebreaker over CSU. Huge game!
