It doesn't make much sense to me either for the reasons I stated above.
Have to wonder if this was another reason why YSU wasn't interested in a post season tourney, and possibly why Lovelace & Burns are in the portal.
PFW is in the CIT championship game on Wednesday night. They started their season impressively and are now finishing it strong. It would have been nice to see YSU keep playing and have success like that. It was important not long ago, but apparently it wasn't this year.
I thought the same thing when DJ transferred. If the university won't spend the money on their players that earned and could of played in one of the tournaments then why should a player stick around. Now I can't make the charge against YSU since I do not know what the factors were but there also was no honest clarity given.
Ft Wayne and CSU both finished behind YSU and opted to play. Green Bay,Wright state,NKU,and Milwaukee all finished ahead of Ft Wayne and CSU and didn't play in one of the post season tourneys either so maybe there is some rationale behind this.
Speaking of Ft Wayne I watched them last night win there sem-final game and got to say they are fun to watch and they play tomorrow for the championship. Love the way they run their offense.
