Ok, I've been trying to keep my mind off the playoffs. Anyone out there have good info on UC-Riverside? I'm to lazy to look it up myself. Do we have a good shot @ going 3-0 for the first time since 00-01?? :-*

Scuba - Yes YSU has a good shot to go 3-0 but it won't be easy.
UC-Riverside is 1-1. They beat Division III California Lutheran 72-48 before losing at UTEP 52-41.
Sagarin and Massey ratings have YSU as a slight favorite at home - I recall somewhere in the 4 to 7 point range.
6-4 senior Phil Martin is their leading returning scorer.
They had a bunch of new guys last year, finished 12-19.
This game is the return game for the 2009-10 Bracket Buster game where the Highlanders beat YSU 62-60.
Ashen Ward is the only Penguin left who played in that game - he started and had 7 points.
6-7 junior David Chavarria is the only Highlander who played in the game - he had 7 points including the buzzer beater to give UC-R the win.
Says a lot about why these two teams have not had much recent success, that two years after a game in which 19 players saw action, only two of those players are still on the rosters.
With 6 of the next 8 on the road for YSU, this is a game the Penguins need to win.

My morning paper has YSU a 4 point favorite - not much more than the home court advantage.

See a quick preview here in the Horizon League Hoops blog. He references Ken Pomeroy's system giving YSU a 67% chance of winning the game. Also note the comments about Kendrick Perry.
FWIW - I think Pomeroy does the best statistical analysis out there - he went to a pay site for a lot of his stuff this year.

Very interesting.... >:(

I really hope we can get this game in the bag. I'll be watching!
-
wow ...3 fouls in less than 15-seconds. We cannot get set.
-
neither team can hit anything tonight
-
Is that true ...that you do not need to touch the ball for offensive interference?
-
this game is brutal
might be more points in the football game tomorrow
-
This like the 1930's scoring, YSU very poor shooting. Infact pathetic and Brooks looks like he never shoot a basketball before.
-
YSU now 3 for 17 on three pointers yet we keep jacking them up. Can't hold a small lead when you don't try to attack.
-
Crazy finish! We could not buy a three.
-
Final YSU 53-49. Eargle with a huge block to protect a 50-49 lead with 1.4 left. UC-R coach gets tossed for arguing a non-call (which was correct - Eargle's block was clean).
damn ugly win and got away with one tonight - but its a heckuva lot better than losing a game like this.
YSU 20 0f 29 at the line, UC-R 6 of 12.
-
That's nice to see! I'll take it. Really ugly but a win is a win.

Yup - 3-0 is 3-0.
-
we shot only 22 percent from the field and won! Wow.
Heard on the radio wrap up show that KP was shooting free throws after the game.
-
Horizon League goes 5-0 tonight - including Valpo's win over the Zips
-
When was the last time the basketball teams both had winning records and the football team was on the verge on making the playoffs? I know basketball has a long way to go but it's nice having the two major sports teams win.
