Tied at halftime (32-32) to an under .500 D3 team.
Not a good sign.

5.5 favorites, won by 7. Solid D1 win. Some other horizon teams looking solid makes me worry. We will have our work cut out with Dayton. They beat LSU & St John and played close with northwestern. Hope we can keep it close.

Correct me if I am wrong here but I don't think we finish higher then 5th in the conference regardless of the outcomes on Saturday?? SDSU, SD, NDSU, UNI and possibly ND all ahead of us? Hate to break it but 7-4 and tied for 4th or 5th in the conference wont cut it.

« on: November 15, 2023, 07:19:41 AM »Just for fun I thought it would be cool to update some ex Penguins and after looking at their stats I'm wondering why some were on scholarship at YSU.
Shemar Rathan Mayes NC Wilmington after 2 games is avering 4.5 a game as a back up.
Will Dunn Grand Valley State (D2) starts and is averging 10.5 pts and 9 rebounds in 2 games.
Myles Hunter University of Tampa (D2) has made 1 of 10 shots in 2 games . Not a starter.
Daniel Ogoro St Thomas Fl (naia) back up averging 4.3 pt a game on 29% shooting.
Jacori Owens Belmont Abbey (D2) starter 6.5 pts and 5.5 rebounds per game . Played 2 games.
Michael Lucarotti Gannon college (D2) back up 6.0 pts a game, Played 2 games.
Josh Irwin Lake Erie college (D2 ) 10 pts per game and 4.5 rebounds. Started 1 of 2 games.
Cheick Traore Chowan college (D2) back up 3.5 pt per game and 6 rebounds after 2 games.
Owen Long Emporia state (D2) 16.5 pts per game. Led them last season with over 17 pts per game.
Luke Chicone John Carroll university (D3) 26 points per game after 2 games.
Alex Vargo Garrett College MD (juco) 28 pts per game and 9 rebounds. 59% field goal
As you can see a lot of these guys might have been a reach playing D1 . I watched two of Vargo's games and after the first one I thought maybe YSU can recruit him again but the 2nd one he had a bad game and I thought nice basketball player and maybe athleticsm might be an achillies heel at D1. Alex was out of basketball for two years. The competition was pretty weak.
Love Luke Chicone. Should of red shirted his frosh season at YSU and stayed the course. Needs strength at the D1 level to go along with his skill set.
It's early but shocked that Shemar and Myles are deep back ups,
Awesome stats and info!

Agree with assessments above. What stands out most to be is who is our go-to guy? Cohill took over a lot of games last year and honestly won single handedly. Don’t know if we have that guy this year. Rush is not it. He’s a streaky shooter that can light up the scoreboard but he’s not going to iso anyone on the last possession of a game to get you the W. There are a lot of teams that win conference championships playing as a complete unit with 7-8 guys averaging similar PPG but it’s nice having that 1 stud who you can always count on.

Well 7-4 this year. If it wasn’t this years team getting to the playoffs I highly doubt it’ll be next year. Good season. See you next year.

« on: November 11, 2023, 08:05:16 PM »We stink. We stink. We stink. The level of referees is pathetic in this conference. All about diversity and girls reffing who never played the game. I can’t take it anymore.
Ain’t that the truth.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Missouri State Week
« on: October 24, 2023, 09:32:30 AM »They have won 2 league games this year. Our defense stinks so i expect a game from them. All games are going to be tough because our defense is so poor. One game we shined and it got everyone's hopes up. In league play we are giving up well over 30 pts a game. We need to outscore opponents rest of season because the defense will not get fixed this far into season for sure. I predict a 45-31 score this Saturday against Missouri state in favor of us. My predictions only.
45-31 sounds about right for this weeks game. They average around 33 so I am thinking 45-35 unless by some miracle there are some positive changes in our defense. We better aim for 45+ against SDSU because they might hang 50 on our D.

« on: October 23, 2023, 07:23:24 AM »Fan turnout sucks big-time. I have heard all the excuses, team deserves better.
It's sad because most would rather watch the OSU game. Its unfortunate that many "fans" loyalties lie with a team 3 hours away that they have no association with rather then the team within their own community or even their alma mater.

ISU will not be an easy game. I am wondering what the line is for this. Maybe us by 2.5 or 3?
Still have hope for a playoff spot but as the article said, we have little margin of error.
