We split with them during the regular season and this is going to be a war. Nelson used to play for them and i bet he has a Vandetta against them. He should play out of this world so we have a shot at a neutral site.
We need to travel good. Need at least 1k to 2k there. As long as we play our game and start off good with a lead going into half is a win for us. Or team seems to struggle in first half. We depend on the 2nd half comebacks way too much. We shall see
I'd be surprised if there are more than a few hundred YSU fans there Monday night. IF they win, I think you can get a decent # making the 5.5 hour drive on Tuesday.
In the two games against NKU this year, we scored 73 and 74 points. I would expect low 70's again tomorrow night.
In the loss in Highland Heights, YSU was up 5 points (56-51) with 1 minute left before NKU scored 7 points in 37 seconds to tie it up (58-58). As you may recall, we had chances at the end of regulation and the first OT, but both possessions were just awful.
This game is going to come down to our defense. If we can hold them to under 70 points, I would like to think we come away with a win. The defense vs. Detroit was tremendous at times, but it came at a cost, getting absolutely dominated on the glass on certain possessions. If we can bring that same intensity on defense and protect the glass, you have to like our chances.
