Weber broke his nose in practice. Detroit is not as bad as some people think, especially playing at home. They have a young team, and have some size. Howard is one of the best players in the HL. He hit a 3pt shot to beat Valpo on the road Friday. In addition to the win at Valpo, UD won at Milwaukee and beat Wright State at home.
YSU is now in 7th place and now has to scratch and claw to finish 4th,5th or 6th and get a home game for the first round.
Amiker played very good today. He got the start in place of Weber, and scored 25 points, including the game tying 3 pointer near the end of regulation. Shot 9-12 from field, 6-8 at the line, and had only 1 turnover.
No points from the bench, but that is skewed a bit with Amiker starting. Still hard to win at this level with ZERO points from the bench. Detroit got 15 points from their bench. Only 2 players scored off the bench, but those 15 points were huge.
KP tried to get it going late, but that missed FT near end of OT was huge. Also have no idea why he waited until the 2nd half to start taking over and trying to score, especially with Weber out. KP is a very good player, but I'm tiring of the talk about him being the best player in YSU history. One of the best, definitely, but YSU has had some very good players over the years. And, during the D2 days, there were not as many teams in D1 as there are now, and the competition was stiff. YSU also played a few D1 schools. Well, they at least played PITT. The majority of teams YSU plays now were D2 or NAIA 30-40 years ago.
