I thought it was a great defensive effort. Played a clean game and took care of the ball as well. Even though the final score was only 10-point win, it felt like 20-point victory. Controlled the entire game- something that we really don't do much of. We still struggle finishing at the hoop. Seemed like countless put backs missed. It's really something YSU struggles with every game that needs to improve to win more consistently.
It was nice to see Noe have a good game. I'd like to see him get more mins. He's much improved over last season. Covington continues to play well game in and game out. Naz had another 10+ rebound game.
Tuesday will be tough against Ohio State, but the nonetheless we won 2 Division I non-conference games this year compared to none last year in addition to having the opportunity to win several others. Not only did YSU fail to win a Division I non-conference game last year, all but 2 we were 13 or more point losses. I feel a lot better than last year with more talent & athleticism heading into conference play.
