Why no thread about YSU men -vs WRSU in HL Tournamanet

(1/1)

Lets_Talk:
Just curious why there is no thread about the WSU tournament game. Not here to bash the team. Thought they played hard. Having KP really helped. Just got to far behind, and then had some poor shot selection on the final few possessions. Would have liked to see YSU go for a 2 point shot when Belin took that quick 3 with YSU down either 4 or 5 points.

Cole, and KP were getting to the basketball pretty easy in the 2nd half. YSU managed to turn the game into an up tempo game. WSU was on their heels, and just do not think WSU would have stopped YSU if they had kept going to the basket. Not saying YSU would have won, just saying settling for a 3 pointer on that possession and missing pretty much sealed YSU's fate

WSU is in the finals, so that shows just how good of a team they are, even without their best player. HL is so competitive, and YSU has proven they can play with any team in the conference. Just never seem to be able to get over the hump, especially in the HL Tournament. To many empty possessions late in the game, combined with relying to much on 3 point shots.

Eargle and Allen are going to be a challenge to replace. Especially Eargle. He improved so much on offense the last 3 seasons. And, he is one of the best shot blockers in all of NCAA basketball. Was nice to see someone from the Ytown/Warren area have such a good career at YSU. It's been awhile since that happened.

Congrats to WSU for making it to the HL Championship Game!!

Dmorton:
Too many missed free throws again.  Overall, a lousy year considering we played three teams at home that should not have been on the floor with us.  Faltered down the stretch because of KP's injury, DJ did step up enough to help out some what, but the team just could not do enough to secure the 4th spot for the tourney. Could have beat Wright, but the team just can not come out,  and fall behind like they did in a tourney game.  It was a nice effort to come back, but again too little, too late.  This program needs to take the next step to be one of the elite programs in the Horizon.  Can't use the recruiting budget as a crux any longer.  All teams in the league will be vastly improved next year!  Just random thoughts.
