After an opening statement and a question and answer session with Slocum, select players spoke with different media outlets in one-on-one interviews. Slocum addressed the fact the Guins were predicted to finish fourth in the 2012-13 Horizon League Preseason poll and how it shows the progress the program has made in recent years. "I think (the preseason ranking) is a direct result of a program longing for respect and I think we played ourselves into that respect last year," Slocum said. "The fact that we earned some respect and had some nice preseason awards for a couple of our guys I think speaks well of where we want to go." YSU returns three starters from last year's 16-15 squad. It was the first winning season for the program since 2000-01. Season tickets for the upcoming 2012-13 campaign are available by calling the Youngstown State Athletic Ticket Office by calling (330) 941-1978. |
