Game is on the road at IUPUI Saturday at 7pm. I hope we are ready. At the same time is a big game as CSU plays Milwaukee in Wisconsin. Big game for who wants the title. YSU wins Saturday night then the worst we can do is share the title CSU if they win on the road. Greenbay plays CSU tonight as well. Lots of games in League play tonight. Some have playoff spot implications.
-
Hard for me to imagine CSU losing to Green Bay. Milwaukee has been struggling of a late, but they could knock off CSU at home. They play PFW tonight.

I was thinking the same.
-
Remember GreenBay defeated Milwaukee at Milwaukee like 3 weeks ago. It can happen. Lets hope it does.
-
So Cleveland st. losing to GreenBay 1st half and RMU losing late to IUPUI.
-
Oakland defeated Wright State which helped out YSU in the tiebreaker battle vs CSU.
RMU just lost to IUPUI as well, which should also help YSU.
GB up on CSU at half by 4.
Hopefully after the shellacing Tuesday night + what IUPUI just did to RMU = a damn good mindset by our guys Saturday evening.
-
Bobby Morris must have still been celebrating their last win.
GB could sure make it interesting if they can pull it off.
But most importantly we need to take care of business.
-
Green Bay ran out of steam about halfway through the 2nd half and CSU won by 11. They played good against YSU for most of the first half before YSU crushed them in the 2nd half. IUPUI has been in a lot of games this year and lose them late; they also cover most of the spreads. I agree with after the way YSU played against RMU and then IUPUI knocking them off YSU better be prepared.
The game Saturday is being played on campus at the Jungle instead of Indiana Farmers Coliseum. Looks to be like outside of a preseason exhibition, they haven't played there all year. And YSU has played there since at least IUPUI joined the league.
Before YSU's loss to RMU, they had a 95% chance at the #1 seed. That dropped to 78% after the loss. It's now back up to 91% after last night.
-
We just need to take care of business Saturday night and let the chips fall where they may. Be nice if Milwaukee can beat CSU Saturday. But we need to beat the improving IUPUI team 1st
-
Huge game. Read we can win the tie breaker shall we win at IUPUI or finish a far as 4th place if all scenarios are not in our favor. Lets just go out and Win!!!!!! Cannot depend on anything in the conference as it never works out for us anyways. The ball is in our court to control.. SIMPLY WE MUST WIN THE IUPUI GAME

That is not accurate. If we win we automatically lock down the #1 seed regardless of the outcome of CSU-MKE.
If we lose, the winner of MKE-CSU gets the #1 seed and we get the #2 seed.
This site breaks it down: http://playoffstatus.com/horizonbasketball/horizonstandings.html
91% chance at #1 spot.
9% chance at #2 spot.
Perfect world we win and CSU loses and we are the sole Horizon League Regular Season Conference Champions.
-
Penguins are 15-point favorites over IUPUI. Cleveland St is a 1-point favorite over Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
-
Not what I read.
-
Not what I read.
That is fine, but what you read was incorrect. We can only finish #1 or #2.
-
YSU won't be worse than a #2 seed no matter what
-
Off to a 27 to 20 lead.
-
Really need to play defense, just way too easy for IUPUI and one of the worst teams in college basketball.
-
I think we peaked to soon. Down by 1 at half and they are out playing us. They I think get the ball to start the 2nd half.
-
Trailing 39-38 at half. This is pathetic. Where is the intensity and energy from this team with so much on the line?
-
Exactly, what I thought, take them lightly and let them stay in the game! I guess they need an tongue lashing at halftime!
-
YSU was up 36-29 with 3.5 mins to go in the first half and I felt like YSU could get some separation and maybe go up 10 at the half and instead IUPUI goes on a 10-2 run. Just no excuse for playing without intensity and just seems like they have been going through the motions the last 2 games like nothing is on the line.
-
IUPUI IS SHOOTING 56% IN 1ST HALF. UNBELIEVABLE
-
The defense was absolutely awful. There was virtually no team defense at all. They practically drove towards the basket almost at will.
Need to play better d in the 2nd half. Need to have some mid range jump shots since we were missing the 3 balls and inside layups.
-

And that's one game after RMU shot over 71% in the 2nd half and 63% for the game.
-
And yes if all goes downhill and all scenarios happen we will be a 4 seed. Simply put we just need to take care of business this game.
-
Pur defense stinks last 2 games.
-
No would be good time to pull your heads out of your rear-ends!
-
4 mins into the 2nd half and nothing has changed. This is just hard to believe.
-
Need to get some hands in the pa$$ing lanes. Did that well against Milwaukee. It's about effort and fundamentals.
-
Last 2 possessions YSU has played good defense and the offense has scored 8 straight. We've missed Rush knocking down 3's like he has in the last 2 mins. Hopefully this is the turning point of this game.

Yes! And I would like to sleep well tonight.
-
And just like that let them right back in the game!

The missed jam by Nelson looms big. Giving up 2 3poins played didn’t help.

Nelson has missed at least 3 bunnies today they would have put this game out of reach.
-
We did it although we didn’t beat the spread of 15 points since they scored the last basket.
Congratulations to the team and the program.
-
first time in D1 a conference champs. I'm guessing that's 41 years of futility that's in the rear view mirror.
Thank you coach Calhoun you busted your ass for 6 years and now all of Youngstown is greatful.
-
Congratulations to this team! Keep fighting and let's win this tournament and move on to the big dance!
-
Enjoy it for the ride home then the hard part starts!
CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!
-
Sure would hate to lose coach right now, but eventually the big boys are going to come calling!
-
CHAMPS!!! CSU LOSING TO MILWAUKEE AS WE SPEAK BY 7.
-
It’s tough to win on the road…even at IUPUI. The ability of this team to score quickly is breathtaking. Congratulations to Coach Calhoun, the staff, players and fans…it’s been a long time coming.

DOUBLE HEADER THURSDAY AT 530PM WITH THE WOMEN'S TEAM. ONCE AGAIN GO GUINS!!!!!
-
Eight minutes to go the Panthers by 14!
-
Panthers by 8 with 1:16 to play
-
8 w 30 sec
-
Penguins win outright! Milwaukee 81-72 victors over CSU!
-
I thought YSU would win by at least 15 but not more than 18 something like 85-70 but it wasn't the prettiest getting there. I kind of thought playing in that smaller gym would give IUPUI more of a home court advantage than Indiana Farmers Coliseum. It seems like IUPUI never lets the favorite cover the spread.
Rush and Cohill were the difference in the 2nd half and turning their 13 turnovers into 22 points compared to them scoring just 7 off YSU's turnovers. Give props to Lovelace going 8-for-8 from the line.
With Milwaukee beating CSU, YSU gets the title outright which makes the RMU loss a little less painful. So barring an upset win by Green Bay or IUPUI, YSU will play the winner of Detroit/PFW at home on Thursday. I know Detroit scares a lot of people, but I'd rather play them than PFW, who YSU always struggles with. I think IUPUI has a better chance of beating RMU on the road than Green Bay knocking off Wright St.
No matter what, YSU is going to have to play better defense if it's going to make a run at the tourney title. Giving up 83 to RMU and 79 to IUPUI is not good.
