The women finished 14-1 at home and played very hard in every game and for the entire game. As a result, people left the gym happy with the outcome and satisfied with the effort. That eventually led to swelling crowds by the end of the season. Now shift to the men. Canisius might be slightly better than us or we might be slightly better than them. No one can believe that Canisius is good enough to overcome a 22 point deficit in 18 minutes without a YSU meltdown. And meltdown it was. We lost focus, the defensive pressure stopped, the ball handling became careless. Such lapses are, unfortunately, not rare occurrences for our fans who attend regularly. Until Slocum can produce a team that, like the women, plays hard for 40 minutes every game, YSU basketball will remain an afterthought in this community.
