Yes Bucknell kept coming back and the Lady Pens kept it tight. These were two very good teams!

Now that the game is recorded in the win column, I am glad that Bucknell made a run and cut our 14 point lead to 6 with under four minutes remaining.  First real pressure of the season.  We responded with a 9-0 run to close out the game.  Love the team defense.  Offense has been sporadic but it will come.

There are some really good teams in the Horizon League.  Green Bay beat Purdue and clobbered Marquette and Duquesne.  Wright State has a few exceptional athletes.  There will be some rough times as our team is very young and we are not very big.  But they are a pleasure to watch.

"The YSU WBB team is filled with players that the big-time programs didn't want, and the schedule is filled with second-rate teams not going anywhere. Mark my words: This team will end the season below .500 and you'll be clamoring for Barnes to leave town."--Paladin.
 
No, Paladin didn't say this.  I made it up. Paladin has not participated in this thread yet, but I am trying to anticipate what he will say when he arrives. Sorry, Pally, but you have a reputation.
 
Barnes said in his interview earlier in the week that he had not worked much with the offense yet. Imagine what will happen if the offense becomes as good as the D we saw last night. The 9-0 run at the end came out of nowhere.

Here's a kudo to Kelsea Newman, who keeps coming off the bench to spark the team. Most improved player from last year.

Benjamin might be one of the quickest girls I've ever seen on a basketball court.. And she can really shoot the ball well too. She's small but she can really ball. Great find by Barnes!

YSU Mens and women's basketball both compete at the 1a level. Time for the YSU football team to the same.
The women's basketball team has a long tough schedule. Barring injuries, the YSU women look like contenders.............

1a ...ALL I-AA/FCS schools that have basketball programs cannot compete at the IA/FBS level, as no such NCAA distinction exists outside of football. Obviously Butler does not play any type of lower-division basketball (ask the former #5 Tar Heels) do they?

In the old days (pre-1984) an individual school could compete at different levels. For example Dayton was DI in basketball and baseball, while being D-III in football. In 1984, the NCAA created the Non-scholarship DI (as part of I-AA) as a way to keep these schools DI in all sports.

Ok, instead of 1a basketball lets call it as does the NCAA ,Div1 basketball. YSU basketball teams are both DIV 1 not Div 11 or Div 111. In other words the YSU basketball teams play at the highest NCAA level. Also there  is the NAIA.   Regardless, YSU plays basketball at the highest level, no matter the reason. YSU should also participate in football at the highest level.................

WHEW!

@YSUsports: WBB: YSU escapes with a 51-50 win over Nicholls State. Benjamin hit a FT with 7 seconds left for the win. Guins were 12-for-14 on FTs in 2nd

Against Nicholls State: Defense was once again spectacular, but one of the ugliest offense performances I've seen from YSU women in a long time. Trying to dribble through people, telegraphing passes, and the return of the infamous pass to nowhere from the pre-WNIT era. Really hope Barnes fixes the offense soon. I have lots of confidence in him, but this one was tough to watch.
