Tip of the hat to Westminster,you guys were smarter and tougher and would have won at your place.
1. Can some one please explain what kind of offense we are running. I'm not being cynical,maybe a little dense.
2. Not good having a 6'4" post player taking it to us. We are soft in the post.
3.Some of the frosh need less minutes except Garrett Covington.
4. Would like to see the best players on the floor getting a little more time as a cohesive unit rather than the massive substitutions.
5. Garrett Covington might be the 2nd best Covingtonto ever play at YSU. seriously,he might be our best on ball defender and he has surpassed my expectations. He's playing so far beyond his youth.
6. On to South Dakota ! Hopefully we can get a win or two.
This really sums up my thoughts.
Westminster definitely came prepared, played harder & wanted it more until YSU wore them down in the 2nd half. Got to give them a lot of credit. They are going to win a lot of games this year. They didn't look like a Div III school.
Nice to see Strollo knock down all 3 3's. Thought Cam looked better tonight & hopefully with Ferguson coming back that will get Cam going. Covington has really impressed me. He really gets after it and puts in 100%. Was scary how Braun landed on his ankle in the 2nd half- was surprised he came back in. YSU came into the game shooting 57% at the line and shot right at 57%- definitely disappointing. I missed the bickering on the bench Coach Calhoun alluded to doing the post-game interview, but I guess it's not surprising how it was going toward the end of the 1st half. It looked like during that stretch YSU was just going through the motions.
Until YSU can figure out the defense, I'm not sure how many games we're going to win. Really should have been able to force a lot more turnovers with the full court pressing. Way too many easy baskets again. I feel like the talent is there that's what has to be concerning for the coaching.
