UMKC is 1-6 this season.  Their lone win was 79-67 at Tennessee Martin.  Road losses have been Creighton (96-71), Nebraska-Omaha (101-71), Iowa State (110-51) and Louisville (90-62).  Home loss have been to Milwaukee (84-79) and Division II Emporia State 81-76.

Pomeroy gives YSU a 67% chance of winning and projects a 79-75 win.

Massey gives YSU a 71% chance of winning with a 80-74 projection.

Sagarin ratings make YSU a 7 point favorite.

UMKC is a bottom 50 team.  This is a game YSU must win.  UNKC is among the worst three point shooting and offensive rebounding teams in the NCAA and has issues turning the ball over as well.

If YSU takes care of the ball as well as they did against Robert Morris, shares the ball and holds their own on the boards, they should emerge victorious.

JP21, not so fast my friend. You forgot one thing-ysu stinks too.
Question for everyone: what' worse ysu football's defense or ysu basketball' defense?
Anyone still think coach slocum is a good coach?
If ysu had the money i dont think wolford or slocum would be coaching here. Both of them need bought out.

Goooo guins

Why is anybody surprised by this?  Can you really have a good basketball team when you cannot defend the paint?  We know that Hain is not quick enough to play interior defense unless he fouls.  We know that his replacements are not DI caliber players.  What is transpiring was entirely predictable.

Someone please explain to me How in the hell we lose to this team!  The Horizon league is going to take us apart!  Inexcusable to lose to teams like this!

there is a bright side to all of this. Coach Slocum got an extension.

Seems like coach wolford and coach slocum are rubbing off on each other. They both beleive in not playing defense.
How long before ysu fans start wearing paper bags over their heads???

Losing to this team is bad, no question about it. 

Why is that when YSU wins, we never hear a word about Slocum being the reason? When YSU loses, it is always Slocum's fault - never the players - except when KP scores 32 and its his fault according to one of our resident experts.

You might get someone better if you get rid of him.  Then again, for what YSU pays you may not.

Based on numbers from a few years ago, Slocum's salary is around $140k.  Oakland, having just moved from the lower rated Summit, is paying Kampe $226k - he got a $50k raise when they joined the Horizon as a market adjustment.  Think about that - he was making 25% more than Slocum and needed a 30% raise to get him in line with his new conference.

Cleveland State pays Waters $340k.  Dambrot makes $400k at Akron, Duquesne offered Dambrot $700k.   The average men's basketball coaching salary in the MAC is $264k. 

YSU pays for hamburger helper, yet some of you expect Filet Mignon.
