It was a great atmosphere...if it was promoted better the place could have been a sell out I think.
YSU definitely outplayed WVU. When YSU got up 7 in the 2nd half I think everyone realized YSU can win this game. Down 3 with the ball with 2 mins to go, that illegal screen call did them in as WVU went on to score the final 8. It was a shame because the final score sure doesn't tell the world how close the game was. Their bigs were just a little too much down the stretch. I really wasn't impressed with the officiating throughout the game.
I hope this game helps moving forward. If YSU can play hard and continue to play well defensively like this, they should be able to win a lot of league games and be in games even when they struggle shooting. I also think it showed a lot of people what YSU basketball is all about and hopefully gives some incentive to come to some home games. I know the guy that sat beside me didn't know much about basketball, but was impressed how they played.
