Title: Robert Morris
Post by: YsuPride on February 21, 2023, 04:34:38 PM
Tonight Robert Morris on the road.  We are a slight favorite at 5.5.  I'll be there to my 1st road game since we played at Akron back in the 1980s when i went with my dad. The JAR.  Anyone plan on going?

I will not be making the drive but already have my red on. To be honest this game scares me a bit, if we show up and play like we can, it will be a happy drive home.

Got to play defense.   Make Mr Cheeks uncomfortable and double
Spear in the post  In RMU last game they had nice contributions from Green and Corbin.  Can't let them have uncontested 3s.

Sloppy first half.  Cohill needs to get going in the 2nd half.  Couldn't believe he missed both of his FTs.  YSU had an opportunity to go up 8 or 9 at the half with the last possession and that offensive foul gave RMU 2 cutting the lead to 4.

Agree.   Thought the guys were a little tight.  Too bad they could not go inside and get Spear in foul trouble.  Spear has owned the paint.

So far a sloppy 2nd half

We're getting ran out of the building.  Turnovers and no transition defense.   No offense in the paint either.

Sloppy, lazy, uninspired. Coach better light a fire under them.

What a joke. Everybody's been talking about them, conference title on the line and this is the effort they bring? Yikes, that's embarrassing. Back to the drawing board...

There goes the season! Just like the football team!  Can"t close the deal!

This is what I was worried that might happen, especially come tourney time. All it takes for one night where the shots aren't falling and this team can't rely on its defense to win games. Not great...

Embarrassing

We are most likely going to see them in the tournament and I hope we don't put up an effort like this.

a lot of negativity on the board but remember if we win at IUPUI we still win the conference although it may be shared.  Yes this game sucks and the guys played timid.

Shared title isn't the same when you control the outcome.  Maybe CSU loses one in Wisconsin?

Learn from this and go win the tourney!

Shame they had history in their hands.  I felt Coach needed to lite a fire and address the lack of an extra pass and  play to get guys open and some help defense or D In general.  They played like the gamblers had made them throw the game.  Just a flat performance at the wrong time of season.  I said this before we look tired and it shows.

Tourney is a long shot.  Very possible this team has already peaked.

What is second tie-breaker with Cleveland State?

That was easily the worst performance of the year.  I understand you're going to lose games, but this one was hard to fathom when it was such an important game against a much lesser opponent.  Last year RMU beat YSU twice late in the year including the the  first round of the Horizon League tournament. 

YSU didn't do anything good tonight.  No defense and way too many turnovers were the major issues.  I really thought that the end of that first half was key.  YSU was up 6 and had a chance with the last possessions to go up 8 or 9 and that offensive foul gave RMU 2 points cutting it to 4 and took that momentum into the 2nd half. 

Cohill heated up early in the 2nd half, but YSU couldn't get stops and it was a runaway train from there.
 When Cohill and McBride both missed a pair of FTs that was a bad sign.  It was unbelievable how many shots RMU blocked.

I had reason to be scared, we did not play like we could and an unhappy drive home.

Agree 100% with this.  I thought Coach would have taken some timeouts when he let the game play on.  YSU looked disinterested almost when things got tough and it got worse from there.  I still don't understand if Shemar is still feeling the effects from injury or whatnot.  It seems like ever since he got snowed in in Toronto early in the season and missed practice then the injury later on, he really hasn't gotten any meaningful mins for someone that was a starter.

God forbid we lose to IUPUI.  But that game is Saturday night so we go time to get well rested.
