Scuba - Yes YSU has a good shot to go 3-0 but it won't be easy.
UC-Riverside is 1-1. They beat Division III California Lutheran 72-48 before losing at UTEP 52-41.
Sagarin and Massey ratings have YSU as a slight favorite at home - I recall somewhere in the 4 to 7 point range.
6-4 senior Phil Martin is their leading returning scorer.
They had a bunch of new guys last year, finished 12-19.
This game is the return game for the 2009-10 Bracket Buster game where the Highlanders beat YSU 62-60.
Ashen Ward is the only Penguin left who played in that game - he started and had 7 points.
6-7 junior David Chavarria is the only Highlander who played in the game - he had 7 points including the buzzer beater to give UC-R the win.
Says a lot about why these two teams have not had much recent success, that two years after a game in which 19 players saw action, only two of those players are still on the rosters.
With 6 of the next 8 on the road for YSU, this is a game the Penguins need to win.
