Horrible game. Cleveland State owns Calhoun and they know it.

Definitely did not bring our A-game!  Need a big home win over Milwaukee and sweep of the other three games!

Hard to get up for every game.  Just hope they didn't "peak" too early.

No matter what happened today, we would have needed to defeat Milwaukee to win the regular season title. Nothing has changed. Win the last four and nobody can catch us. After Milwaukee we finish with the three lowest rated NCAA NET teams in the conference.  No excuses.

Hats off to CSU they did bring their A game.  Lowder hit some clutch shots for them and Williams & Enaruna were beating us of the bounce.
Three ball was not falling for YSU.  Would like to see more dump ins to Malek but it's easy to 2nd guess.   Guys played hard but CSU was a little better today.   Need to take out Milwaukee.

You said it, no excuses now!  Win the last four and at least get a NIT bid, if not the NCAA!   Best year of YSU basketball I believe I've ever seen!  GO Guins, finish the job!

Can’t win them all.  Sometimes I feel coach needs to coach more on fly and make adjustments.  But still think he’s a keeper winning 20 games is a big accomplishment with all the negatives this program had.

Need to learn how to handle the press.  Opposing teams know YSU is vulnerable to turnovers against the press.

Need a HUGE CROWD Thursday for Milwaukee.  Huge!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the game were Saturday we'd be bringing a massive caravan of cars from Milwaukee on Friday evening. Instead we'll have to settle for a watch party at the big sports bar across the street from our Arena.

YSU couldn't hit 3's and just 10-16 from the FT line and has some really costly turnovers.  CSU also made some ridiculous shots.  McBride was the best FT shooter in the nation but has now missed a FT in 5 straight games he's gone to the line.  He was also really improving from 3, but is now 0-6 in the last 4 games.

I agree with the above post.  Some of our guys have fallen off from what they were doing in the early and middle parts of the season. 3 point shooting has really fallen off as has the free throws. Only DC and BR have been a bit reliable from the 3 point line. And the press bringing up the ball needs improvement. It may be we are playing our guys too many minutes and they are tired. Our bench is questionable at best and we keep our starters in for the most part at the end of the game. Yesterday we took some bad shots, missed a lot of three's and free throws, had steals on inbounding the ball in the back court, and had CSU make some unbelievable shots and we lost by 3.  I think the coach can fix the inbounding the ball problem, but the rest may be difficult with our team beyond the starters not contributing that much. John Lovelace, Myles Hunter, and Shemar may be the answer to get us some rest for the starters. Thursday will be big in my opinion so hope we are up to it.
