I was encouraged with the play during the Pitt game and thought if YSU shot an average game they would have had a chance to win. They came out & shot lights out for most of the 1st half against Akron & opened up an 8-point lead, which could have easily been more; however, the lack of defense was worrisome that didn't allow them to build a bigger lead and you knew they couldn't keep shooting like that forever. It was like once YSU started missing shots the tide turned so fast and you could feel it at the end of the 1st half.
It was like once YSU got down 6 or 8 points it was over. It just seemed like YSU was disinterested the 2nd half. No intensity. Seemed like they weren't even running an offense and looked like street ball. That was one of the worst losses in awhile, and it's hard to even believe they were up 8. Could have really been ugly otherwise.
About the only bright spot was Pederson. I do like Quisenberry. He doesn't really play like a freshman. I was really excited about Covington this year, but he hasn't shown much in the first 2 games. I haven't seen the intensity from him like he brought last year. Noticed Anabir hasn't gotten in this year even in this blowout.
