YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU mens basketball preview

« on: December 01, 2020, 06:55:39 PM »

Not sure if this was posted before.   Pretty good write up on our roster.
As of today Oakland has already played 5 games  and we"ll have 7 games played before YSU plays their first.  Sounds like a big advantage (covid or not)unless coach can get something lined up earlier than already scheduled.

Along with Mentor's Luke Chicone it looks like the these two will be our future back court.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU 61 Oakland 60

« on: January 09, 2020, 09:40:15 PM »

It was an ugly win but it's still a win.   Miachael Akuchie played his best all around game as a Penguin.  He's gotten much tougher/physical over the last 3 years.  I think I heard that the last time they went 7-0 at Beeghly was the 1983 season.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU vs UIC

« on: December 30, 2019, 09:05:38 PM »

Maturity!    Guys played great team/help defense.  Very unselfish and great on their switches.

Crushed the UIC press with Naz playing like a point guard.   His handle is incredible and forces the bigs to cover him in the back court and opens up the floor.

Up 29-26 at half and shot the ball horrendously 4 of 17 from three and 10 of 34 overall , Thankfully we created turnovers from the press and rebounded well.

I always like to see the teams we beat do well.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU @ Virgin Islands

« on: August 16, 2019, 06:02:21 PM »

If anyone cares the men's basketball team won all 3 games.  They beat Calgary twice and the Virgin Island all stars once.   It sounded like Michael Akuchie played real well as did Naz and Quisenberry.    two new guys Jamir Thomas and Tyler Foster played well too.  I'm basing this on the 3 broadcast and the comment by Rob Schmidt and the coaches.

Btw,Calgary went 29 - 2 last season.  Olamide Pedersen did not play due to a broken hand and Devin Morgan did not make the trip.

We hired the right guy.   Surprised they let the staff go in July opposed to last March.  CSU's demise hurts the Horizon.

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 ?

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 ?
