Another tough loss. YSU isn't finding ways to win these close games like last year. That's 2 of the last 3 games at home that would have felt a lot different if YSU could have pulled them out but instead they are buried now in next to last in the standings.
YSU finally shot the ball well, but was sloppy with the ball in the first half that gave Detroit too many points off turnovers. YSU just continues to struggle with the zone and couldn't get Naz into the game. Covington was tremendous & so was Akuchie.
Unless DQ comes back and is effective, this team just isn't consistent enough to be able to string wins together & make any kind of run in the tournament. The biggest thing missing from last year is defense; and the intensity and energy just isn't there. You just knew early on in the Detroit game YSU was going to have to make a lot of shots and they did, but not enough to overcome the defensive intensity that's lacking.
