YSU loses 83-80. Tough loss - knew YSU wasn't going 29-0, but thought the Guins were in control when they scored first four points of overtime.
Some stats that jump out:
Only 5 bench points and 5 bench rebounds in 45 minutes of play - 1 for 9 from the field. I noted in the preview thread that someone on the bench needed to step up - didn't happen today.
Got back to even on the boards at 47 and limited NDSU to 4 offensive boards in the second half, but the 9 NDSU offensive boards in the first half made that 7 point deficit at the half too much.
NDSU blocked 8 YSU shots.
Only 6 for 18 on three pointers while the Bison were 8-15.
The good:
KP had 34 points, 8 boards.
Only 7 turnovers
NDSU will win a lot of games this year and be in the hunt in the Summit League. But it is a disappointing loss and a game YSU will look back on with regret.
I started this stretch wanting 3-0 of course, but saying I would be happy to get out at 2-1. Going to be tough, but it starts tomorrrow with James Madison. Lets hope the Guins find their three ball touch.
