Played much better after Thursday's NKU game. Could almost say they played well enough to win...really had a lot of opportunities but Wright St made some big blocks that looked like easy buckets down the stretch that really stopped YSU momentum. It's a shame YSU couldn't knock down some of those 3's...just 4 of 21. Akuchie had a great look late & missed it...that one really stood out along with those blocks and Quisenberry couldn't get that one layup to fall when he got fouled. Give YSU credit for hanging tough, every time it looked like Wright St. was about to pull away, YSU went on a mini run...just could never get over the hump.
16-18 at the FT line is very impressive, but unfortunately Wright St got to the line 30 times.
Was good to see Jamir back in there. Had 12 rebounds and played well I thought. I just wonder why he didn't play Thursday.
That's 6 straight losses to Wright St. In 8 of YSU's 9 losses, they've given up 73 or more. And on the other hand, YSU has only won 1 game this year when the opponent has scored 73 or more.
NKU hammered CSU by 25. There's no doubt Wright St & NKU are the 2 best teams again. I was really hoping YSU could get a split, but is now in a 3-way tie for 3rd. Good thing is now 5 straight at home and none of them are against NKU or Wright State. We'll see after this stretch where we stand with the second tier teams.
