Must win tonight for the Guins..

[ysuguins4]

Yes.  CSU is in their heads.

[YsuPride]

They are much more physical and aggressive than us. We have no inside game.

Playing like crap... offense stinks..csu defense has us in panic mode.  They own us

[Double ET]

Down 6 in the first half, YSU pull away in the last few minutes winning 67-55. Simmons had a good game with 22 points.
They wanted this game more than CSU.

It was good to finally beat CSU.  I felt in the first half, YSU had good looks but couldn't knock down shots and just way too many bad turnovers.  You could tell from the first of the second half, they came out focused.  They got CSU in foul trouble.  The key was defensive, rebounding, and knocking down foul shots late.  When YSU has done that this year they've been pretty hard to beat.  In fact, when YSU has held teams to 70 points or less they're 11-1!  Just that one loss to Western Michigan by 2 that YSU really should have won.  It's crazy to think if they didn't lose that one and blow the OT losses to Milwaukee and UIC, this team is 17-8 overall and 9-3 in the conference. 

It looks like at this point YSU is going to be between the 3 and 7 seed.  Crazy to think they the 3 seed right now, but 1/2-game out of being the 7 seed.  Hopefully can at least split the next 3 weekends.

That number 10 for CSU was the best on-ball defender against DQ I've ever seen.  Without some outside shooting from Simmons this could have been different, but we hit some open 3's and MADE SOME DAMN FOUL SHOTS DOWN THE STRETCH!  That was really good to see.  If we played like the second half against CSU all the tme, we'd be #1 in the Horizon.  Coach C is developing a solid program.  We all want it to come faster, but it IS coming.

It's definitely coming.  Last year they were able to win 4 more games than year one and that 6 game league win streak was great, but they didn't finish the year well.  This year they already had a winning non-conference record, already have 2 more wins than last year with at least 7 to go.  The rest of the year is going to be interesting with 4 road games and 2 home games against the top 2 in the league.  Hopefully YSU can win a few more then see what happens in the tournament.

I hope we have the same patience with Coach Phillips, which frankly doesn't seem likely.  We at least gave Coach Calhoun a couple years.  The posters here were ATTACKING him before he was even introduced!  I can't believe some of these guys.  Oh well, it's up to the team to prove them wrong.
