Big game today

[YsuPride]

YSU hosts NKU at 130pm.   We are a slight favorite.   They are in 4th place and we are in 3rd.  With the upcoming road trip we cannot lose this one.    Go Penguins!!!

6.5-7.5 point favorite.  I'm a bit surprised it's that high.  Would have thought 4.5-5.5.

With Oakland and Green Bay winning yesterday, this is pretty much a must win for YSU to stay in the race for the championship especially considering YSU already lost to NKU and have already been swept by Oakland. 

With Wright St playing IUPUI, a loss would put YSU in a 3-way tie for 3rd.  A win also for YSU starts to give them some separation from other teams in the battle for the top 4 seeds.

I think YSU takes care of business today after giving the one away to NKU on the road.

NKU has knocked down 5 of their 6 3-point attempts & YSU 0-7. YSU trails 20-12 at the 12 min mark

Parking is horrible.  Need more spots along with more attendants
.. wow was this parking thing botched.

[YsuPride]

Maybe the stands should have been open.   The thinking of YSU is mind blowing.

[YsuPride]

Gotta cover the 3's better.

Parking is an absolute disaster when there's a good crowd. They definitely need to do something about it. I arrived at 12:40 and all the streets were tied up. They need more attendants & open other lots.

It's always a cluster at the gates too. There's no room to handle crowds.

YSU really tightened up their defense after the 12 minute media timeout. After giving up 20 the first 8 mins they only gave up 11 for the final 12 mins.

YSU is doing a nice job at the FT line at 11-11 while NKU is just 8-14. Honestly the only reason NKU is in the game is those 5 early 3s while YSU is just 3-15.

NKU is always doing a better job on the boards & are getting all the 50-50 balls & balls that go out of bounds.

The officials are really calling the game right. Was hard to get into the flow of the game with so many fouls called.

I can hardly wait to read all the things wrong with this effort today!  This was a great job against a crediable league opponet this group is making me proud to be a 'guin!  .

Hugh win 82-52 YSU.

Great defense today.  Farmer,Rush,Lovelace made Warrick's day miserable and add in Zorgval clogging up the middle.   Ziggy has been been the man and Burns has killed it on the glass.

They said there was 6k for attendance.  With the bleachers pushed in on the upper deck that kind of surprises me.

Can't forget to give the coaching staff props for having the team ready to play today.   Hopefully they can get it going a little better from three going forward.   Really liking Farmer's mid-range game.

I don’t think we had 6k attendees today. I heard coach said that in the post game interview.
6k is almost capacity. Coach probably saw the packed stand and didn’t realize one side was pushed in.
Great crowd.

[YsuPride]

Now three straight road games with Wright on Thursday 9pm on ESPN U.   

[YsuPride]

Who knows about the crowd size and how they actually calculate it it blows my mind to see that discrepancy in crowds from game to game.   I'll take it though however they count it .

[go guins]

WIth upper bleachers folded up cap6icity couldn't be  more than 4800-5000. That being said, that would be our biggest crowd in a while.
