MBB vs Eastern Kentucky 1 p.m. Sunday (in-game)
« on: November 10, 2013, 01:00:44 PM »
The men take on Eastern Kentucky at 1:00 p.m. Sunday.  EKU is the pre-season favorite in the East Division of the OVC.

The Colonels won 25 games last year and return just about everyone.  They have a junior / senior laden lineup.

This is going to be one of the better teams YSU plays in the non-conference schedule.

I remember some good battles with EKU from our OVC days.  Their point guard John DeCamillis carried the ball every time he dribbled - or so I yelled at the horrible OVC officials.  :)

YSU leads 11-9 at the under 12 media timeout.  KP has 9 of the 11 points.

23-20 YSU at the under 8 timeout.  EKU had a 20-14 lead, but KP, Keene and Weber hit threes on consecutive trips down the floor.

10 guys have played already.  Seems the coaches are getting the starters quick blows with the third game in three days.

YSU leadds 36-26 at the half.  KP with 17, Weber with 9.  YSU 7 of 16 on three pointers.

YSU had a 18-1 run midway through the half, all YSU points coming on three pointers.

See that Deverin Muff of Stronsgville is playing for EKU.  He was a YSU target a few years ago.

Big stat is YSU leading rebounding 23-13.

Fan - you will often see the defender against the man with the ball put his hands on the offensive player, often called hand checking. 

NCAA is trying to taking hand checking out of the game.  I'm not sure of the specifics, but as a defender you can use your hands less, which should open up the game a lot more.   Trying to increase scoring and get away from games that looked more like football that basketball. 

I would think it is the type of change that should benefit YSU as a team that tries to play fast - but maybe not.

YSU wins 75-67! KP had 31, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Just so special. Weber kicked in 17. To come away 3-0 this weekend is great!! Go Guins

YSU looking good this weekend, also helped my betting results.  They were underdog today at +172.  Keep going boys.

Just a precaution from the knee injury last year. He's fine
