Any word on tonight's contest? They had quite a bit of snow and temps below zero.

Lot of respect for YSU to only be a 2.5pt dog.

First 10 min of game and the home town refs are killing us.

Lost by 6. Considering the other Horizon results tonight, that is a decent result on the road. Still, ugly first half shooting, especially from Belin that was missing, and I mean BADLY, from beyond the arc.

Another game in the 80s... Defense defense defense.

Watched this one. They sucked badly. No D. Jerry's kids have no O and depend on throwing up 3balls. Score doesn't indicate how bad they were. UWM was up 20 pts and played with them. Yep, that was the real YSU team. Maybe Strollo can buy them a place in the worst tournament, lol

Where' s JJ at now? Is he so depressed ysu lost that he jumped in the mahoning river?
Oh wait, he' s in slocums hotel room. So that's what those  checks he cuts to the athletic department pays for.

FWIW, they are getting rid of the worst part of the schedule early.  After the UIC game Tuesday (a must win), 7/10 and 8/13 games are in Beeghly. 

8-8 still seems to be a reasonable expectation for the season.

Scoring usually isn't a problem.... Against Warren Wilson and Thiel. This YSU team gives up so many easy baskets, it's crazy. For how great of a player KP is.... He can't go through scoreless stretches like he did in the 2nd half last night. I know he wants to get his teammates involved, but you gotta take over the game sometimes my man. Kam is way too inconsistent, and DJ isn't a pure scorer from the point. Ysu will struggle if they can't provide help to KP.

SMH to this post! It leaves me little hope for humanity and makes me question if all the positive things I'm trying to do for the Valley/YSU are all for not because of people like this.

I-AA Fan - is there a block feature on this site? Or do I just have to ignore everything Ray says?

It's one thing to disagree with someone, but it's another thing to say people are going into the coaches hotel room after what happened at Penn State and Syracuse. It's disgusting and disturbing.

Wow - talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Aren't you the guy calling other posters vulgar, derogatory names because you disagree with them?  Now its not good because someone said something vulgar about you?

You say you are trying to take a positive spin here, yet you call those who disagree with you idiots and turn their user names in to vulgar names?  Doing so undermines all the "positive" you claim to want to accomplish.

All four home teams won last night.  Everyone held serve.  Agree that getting a road win at UIC is imperative on this trip.

Here's my take on the game. We were tasked with defending a team with 2 inside guys. Guess what? Neither of them shot their average for the game. What we gave up for that effort was wide open threes from the perimeter which is why their guards scored half of their overall points. the perimeter defense was not good on Aaron and McWhorter. Who was guarding them? We need better defense from KP and Cole honestly.  We also did not get any benefit from the refs and the ticky tack fouls they called on us and not on them were a portion of the difference. We were outrebounded. Look at the stats. We need more rebounding from our big guys period!  I have seen this team every game this season in person or on video and they have been terrific at times and struggled others. This is not uncommon for any team. Hey Kamren had a rough shooting night, Weber shot lights out. They should have given him the ball more   Honestly this is a team we could have beaten if we had been more consistent shooting. Keep working Penguins! This team has alot of talent they just dont always make good decisions. That is something the coaches have to continue to work on.  There are some of us out here who are behind you and supporting you!!

Slocum himself said his team "sucks" after the umass game.
JJ should volunteer to drive the bus for jerry and his kids. Those checks JJ is writing for ysu sports for $4.36 is really making a difference- slocum bought a new tie to go with the suit he bought from wal mart

Correction, Coach Slocum said they sucked in that game. He did not say his teams sucks. You are making yourself look like an idiot with your posts.

Isn't it the most predictable event of the century that as soon as we lose a game, Ray (most overrated QB in YSU history), 05 (who spends his days and nights throwing darts at Slocum's picture), and Paladin (who screams YES I REALLY AM IN THE PENGUIN CLUB, although they've NEVER HEARD OF HIM) would chime in on how lousy the team is and how lousy Slocum is, etc. etc. As Indy said, all of the home teams won, so the loss is certainly no surprise. It's just really sad that people take glee in their "hometown" team losing. There's no hope for this board.

Thanks IP; I get no joy in losing. I would also like to add that calling the team "Jerry's Kids" is very insulting to the team, staff, school, fans, and the thousands of children stricken with MS that wish they could play basketball. Let's try to be more respectful.

Yes I am in Penguin Club: football and baseball. We purchased our 4 seats in in the Ice Castle back in 1982, when they offered faculty and staff permanently renewing seats and have renewed every year since. I have been to every MVFC stadium (less the Dakotas). I was at all three championship games at Marshall, the one at GA Southern. I was at several away play-off an regular-season games. That includes the $80 tickets to the money-games where the result was basically predetermined. I tailgate religiously. I attend many functions each year and run this site. Yet I live over 3-hours away. I get mad at players and coaches ...but I do not let that stop me from enjoying a trip to Ytown for any event. So if we are going to call ourselves fans ...let's act like it.

You're right, I make homophobic remarks like Ray does.

Anywho Indy - I'm not against you. I like you, I respect what you have to say. Because you advance conversation here and have a lot more to offer than the typical Wick250 post saying in a paraphrase "YSU sucks, the athletes suck, the team sucks, the coaches suck, the administration sucks, FIRE EM ALL"

Like I said, I don't want to get into it with you, because I respect you and think your posts are well thought out and believe you to be an intelligent, intellectual person. And if Wick250 is your friend, sorry for calling your friend a jerk. Maybe he is nice to meet in person??? But he comes off as a grumpy, negative person in cyber space. For whatever that's worth.

JJ--Wick is one of the few posters on this site who has any common sense. I don't always agree with him, but I'm sure he doesn't always agree with me either and that's the way it's supposed to be. But He's not one of the ones to attack--he cares about YSU and has valued opinions. There are the 3 main imbeciles (and you know who they are) who make this board an anti-YSU board and it's a shame. 1-AA works hard to maintain this board and it's been a great place for conversation since it's inception. We want to keep guys like Wick around. There's certainly too few of them.

Good points. Maybe I jumped the gun on Wick250 and maybe he was just having a bad week. But all the time I read on vindy/trib/wkbn trolls on the comment section who say people don't go to YSU/Scrappers/Covelli Centre Events and it's all a lie. When Wick said only 250 people were there it struck a nerve.

But it still doesn't change my opinion on his notion that everyone being fired from the athletic department as being utter nonsense. Maybe he worded it wrong.

I am not Anti-YSU like IP says.... I love this school, I just point out the facys and just don't like the head men's basketball coach and don't think he deserves to be the coach. Period
