Definitely need to win this game, but YSU has struggled with Detroit amazingly losing 11 straight. Detroit has seemingly always been more athletic & seemed like would shoot well against YSU. With us being more athletic this year, at home after a week and half off, would nice to come out and play well to get league play off to a good start.
Looking ahead to Sunday, Oakland's non-conference record was the same as YSU and have lost 4 straight. Looking at their schedule though they had losses to UNLV, Xavier, Georgia and Michigan St. Other than Michigan St, the other 3 were losses by 13 or less. They also lost to Toledo by 1, Western Michigan in OT, and Hartford by 5 in a game they led by 8 with 10 mins to go. They play Cleveland St. tonight.
