Talk about a tail of two halves. I stopped watching and missed everything. 59-61 Bad Guys.

I watched the entire game. On the stretch when we fell behind by 14 points, we had a bad combinations on the court. We had Foster, Hemperian, Morgan on the court. We could neither score nor defend.

We had the best combination for a long period of time (DQ, Naz, Covington, Calfcart Simmons/Acuchie) in the 2nd half, We made the comeback.

We had a chance to win the game, down 2 with 10 sec. They kept the ball out of DQ’s hands so he could not bring it up court. Calfcart passed up an open 3 point shot and passed it to DQ for a tough 25 foot shot (air ball). The tapped up rebound did not go in as time ran out.

The scoreless 8 min in the 1st half sank us. I am proud of their effort in the 2nd half in fighting their way back.

Sad outcome but proud of the effort to fight back. This team is very close to being to a top team in this league with Calhoun at the helm.

Would have been unbelievable to come back & win that came but really the difference in the game was that 8 min drought in the first half.  Most of the first half was pretty evenly played and YSU out-played them in the 2nd half.  I thought too a couple momentum changes was when Simmons missed the layup and then NKU missed that 2nd foul shot and YSU couldn't snag the rebound & they hit a 3. 

It just took too long to claw back into it.  YSU just couldn't get it under 6 until right at the very end.  It's too bad to hold a team like NKU to 61 & lose but just missed too many open shots and couldn't get the ball to fall in in the second half with a lot of short range shots.  If you look at the stats, YSU made 4 more 3's, had 4 more points from the FT line, outrebounded them, had more assists & less turnovers.

The only 3 losses at Beeghly now are 2 OT losses and this 2 point loss.
