Tight game at half in Green Bay. 37 to 32 us. Hopefully we come out with fire in 2nd half.
-
Green Bay is shooting 50% from field. Some of our bigs have 2 fouls at the half. Not good.
-
Must have been some talk he gave the team at halftime.
-
This team has mind boggling defensive lapses but they sure can score with anybody. Huge game Saturday.
-
Not a pretty game with all the trips to the foul line. The press got the team going despite a few bouts of being lethargic. Nice 3 games of a business trip so far.
Play of the night was Brandon rush erasing a GB player at the rim on a 3 on 1 fast break.
-
Big win. I was worried at the half but we came out smoking hot.
-
Thought it was kind of an odd game. YSU played good in spurts. Came out fast, which hasn't happened much at all this year. GB fought back and made it a game at the half. Thought the full court press really turned the game as YSU made a couple steals and forced a 10-second violation. Defense played really well and had the lead built to 31. Then YSU got lax on both ends of the court and the bench guys didn't play well. Shelton got an opportunity, but missed 2 open 3's and seemed to struggle on defense. GB got it down to 14 & YSU covered the spread with the last second tip in. All of the fouls and free throws took the flow of the game away.
Outside of Dunn hitting 2 3's in the first half, really 0 contribution from the bench. Covington, Lovelace, Hunter & Shelton all struggled. Lovelace has struggled the last 3 games.
YSU did a nice job on the board, took care of the ball and had 11 steals
Coach didn't seem all that happy in the post game on the radio. Who would have thought a 16-point road victory and not all that excited. Standard has definitely changed. During this 5 game win streak, YSU has won every game by at least 15 points! I remember some of those years during the Slocum years when YSU would seemingly lose most league games by double figures.
3 way tie for first with NKU & Milwaukee all at 7-2 with CSU and Oakland tied for 4th at 6-3. NKU drilled a long 3 buzzer beater to knock off CSU. Oakland needed last second 3 to go to OT against IUPUI & won.

unless we get help in terms of portal transfers for next year we are going to be in deep trouble. Most of the bench is weak and don't contribute much at least on the road. So we will probably hit the portal hard. Are any of the seniors eligible to get an extra year next year?????

Oh we will be a bottom feeder unless Calhoun hits the portal hard. Hardly any contributions from underclassmen. Lovelace can take a big step but other than that who else is there?? Hunter, Rathan Mayes, Dunn, and Lovelace??
We will be where GB is now. Better make it count this season!

Very true. However, we could have said the same thing at the end of last season. What did we have returning besides Cohill? Basically nothing. All Calhoun did was acquire FOUR starters in the portal to play with his one remaining asset. He could do it again. Working the portal is now the main requirement for a successful mid-major coach.

I wondered about the extra year as well. I would think all of the seniors would be due to COVID except the grad students of Nelson, Green & Covington, but I could be wrong.
And as far as Green Bay, they have been pretty non-competitive since they fired Linc Darner. They are 15-60 under Will Ryan.

Would like some clarity on this. Not sure we will be able to know even on the last home game when they honor the seniors. Then again I'm still worried about this season since we're barley half way through the horizon schedule.
Green Bay had a couple nice young players. Brock Heffner was giving the bigs fits with his up and under. Cummings looked good too.
-
I would like to congratulate YSU on finally having a good basketball team after 22 years in the Horizon League. Tomorrow should be a fun game.
-
Worry about next year in the off season. Let's focus on this terrific season so far!
-
Huge night tonight! Should be interesting...
-
Got to get this one for sure. Milwaukee is tough but according to ESPN we are the 3-4 point fav.
-
We are losing 27 to 21. Late 1st.
-
They cannot miss 3 pointers
-
They have 10 made 3 pointers. Unbelievable.
-
Milwaukee can't miss and YSU missing easy shots and FT's. Let's hope it turns around in the 2nd half.
-
Green started out with 3 airballs. He needs to stay in the post and go to work. UMW playing good defense.
-
Got punched in the mouth tonight. Lots of work to do.... Nights like this happen, especially when you can't defend and grab defensive rebounds. Regroup for Friday..
-
Lost by 13. Could have been worse. If only we connected on more 3's it could have been different. Congrats to Milwaukee. Payback next time at home. Now to Friday on ESPN2. 9pm tip. YSU needs to take a day off tomorrow. Got hammered tonight. YSU is tied for 2nd with Cleve. state.
-
Let's not lay an egg Friday in front of a national audience. Oakland has something to prove being that we beat them at their place a week ago. Don't be surprised it goes down to the end. Need at least 5k fans in attendance and all loud. We can do it.
-
Sounds like Robb hit a nerve with coach Calhoun. Coach put him in place.
-
Milwaukee was the tougher team tonight and might be the most athletic team in the league. Three out of four is a nice road trip and now the guys need to come home and dominate at Beeghly.
Slow rotating back on the full court press. Not sure the intensity was at a level to win the game.
-
Like what coach said about the program! We are 7=3,but should be 10-0! We are not where I want us to be! a lot more work to be done to get this program where he wants it!
-
Sounds like Robb hit a nerve with coach Calhoun. Coach put him in place.
What was said?
-
Don't know! But I do know this, coach was not happy with the team's performance!
-
Program has not reached the standards that coach wants!
-
Robb commented something on the bright spots of the game and coach said that it is that mentality that is not acceptable. Coach Calhoun just wants to win the league. I'm not sure what was actually said but he didn't like it.
-
I think he said something about a successful trip on the road winning 3 of 4 games! Coach was not happy!
-
I was listening to the post game interview and really did not hear anything that should of got Coach annoyed. I thinked he was pissed about how the game went and was in no mood to talk about it.
I'm sure Coach C and Rob have a decent relationship and coach in his own time will probably tell Rob sorry about losing his cool. No big deal and Rob surely understands and probably didn't take it personal.
-
I tried to go back & listen to the post game interview with Coach on the radio & it looks like it was cut out. Anyone know what was said?
It was one of those games where YSU's lack of hitting shots (4-21 from 3) translated into poor defense on the other end. In addition they hit so many shots, even contested ones that were demoralizing.
I know it was early, but I thought that 3 that Rush hit that got waived off with the shot clock violation and some missed FTs really hurt. Once YSU got down 10 late in the first half they could never gets stops and make any runs.
Covington only played 3 mins & 2 for Hunter. With Shemar out, a team that seemed so deep early in the year, the bench has all but disappeared.
So halfway through Horizon League play YSU is 7-3 losing to both teams tied for first place on the road. They are a game back, but right now lose the tiebreaker to both NKU & Milwaukee so in essence are back 2 games.
-
Anything less than top four is unacceptable!
-
The first half of league competition ends tomorrow when Oakland goes to Detroit. Looking at the schedules, we are in good shape. We have just 4 roads games, only 1 against a contender (CSU.) Of course, we also can't beat middle-of-the-pack Fort Wayne.
Northern Kentucky is on the road 7 times in the second half, facing three contenders.
Milwaukee has 5 road games with two contenders (NKU and YSU.)
Cleveland State has 4 road games with two contenders.
Oakland has 4 road games in the second half (plus Monday at Detroit) with two contenders.
