YSU Penguin Athletics / Vindicator folding and YSU effect ?

« on: June 29, 2019, 02:49:31 PM »

I live out of state and look to the vindy & Tribune for access for YSU stories.   Will something fill the vacuum now that the Vindicator is closing ?

YSU Penguin Athletics / Men's basketball recruiting ?

« on: April 17, 2019, 06:38:43 PM »

With 4 players transferring I thought we would have noise as of today.   Last year we signed 4 on spring signing day.  Anyone hear anything ?

YSU Penguin Athletics / men's basketball vs CSU

« on: March 02, 2019, 08:16:06 PM »

They let a wounded dog hang around on a game we should of one .  Really missed Garrett Covington tonight .
Too many easy inside lay ins for the CSU big men.  I thought Salley could of helped on that but coach thought otherwise.    Great game by Q and his play this season has been phenomenal .  I put him ahead of Kendrick Perry when KP was a frosh .  Thought I heard louder noise at a funeral than I heard at Beeghly tonight.   Where are the students ?

YSU Penguin Athletics / MBB vs GB

« on: February 09, 2019, 06:57:39 PM »

We're up 51- 33 at half .  Long way to go but defense and intensity might be the best I've seen this season
Love seeing hands getting in the passing lanes and everyone  conscious with help defense.

YSU Penguin Athletics / men's basketball Detroit

« on: February 02, 2019, 03:23:18 PM »

Another road win 72 - 70.   Naz bounces back with 15 and 9 boards.   I saw that Big John Salley jr  gives us a presence in the post.  The floor opens up when he gets touches and he passes it well .
Thanks to Detroit's asst coach for throwing a players shoe (very bizarre) across the court that resulted in a tech foul and gave us 2 ft late in the game.

YSU Penguin Athletics / MBB vs NKU

Down 4 at half.   No one ever posted on the Wright state game .  I think if anyone is paying attention you could see the potential of this young team.  Might be tired of hearing they're young but Quizz and Simmons are potential all league the next 3 years.   Olamide might be the best shot blocker in the Horizon and he's plays few minutes because of fouls.

Saw coach's post game and you can see he's frustrated because he knows it's just maturity with only one senior.    As bad as I want them to win now,I'll still enjoy what they are and I'm pumped for the next few years to come with the talent Calhoun is bringing in.

YSU Penguin Athletics / men's basketball vs TOSU

« on: December 18, 2018, 06:15:19 PM »

We know we're going to get pounded .   Ohio State does not have a lot of length to totally dominate us.   Wesson is big but not  much of a shot blocker although he's too strong and skilled for our bigs.   Kyle Young their other low post player is more of a heart & hustle type.

OSU has good shooters and great defense,hopefully the Penguins make a good showing.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU vs CMU mens B-ball

« on: December 04, 2018, 07:49:23 PM »

Down 7 at half and playing their worst floor game.  14 turnovers in the 1st half and giving up 8 offensive rebound is not a recipe for w's.
