I thought the same thing about the arena being dark and depressing even from pre-game pics.
Good road win for YSU- that's 2 straight against CMU & first ever there, even if they haven't been great the last 2 years.
YSU does seem to struggle against the zone. Kind of an odd game; back & forth early & YSU took over and should have had a bigger lead at the half than 9. That kept CMU in the game. Then I thought YSU had total control up 18 with just over 8 mins to go. YSU then seemed to play tight, didn't play like how they got that lead and got careless. They almost let CMU back in it only scoring 8 points over the last 8+ mins.
Thought it was odd CMU really didn't foul at the end and just let the game play out.
Another great game by DC. Thought Green was excellent. Got a typical night for Nelson close to another double-double. Rush continues to look good as well.
Struggled from 3 at 5-16 and just 2-12 outside of Cohill, but went 11-11 from the FT line and that was key. YSU is doing a nice job from the FT line this year.
Nice way to end non-conference play sitting at 9-4 and could easily by 11-2. I think this team can play with anyone, only 1 loss of double figures. If they can continue to score the ball and if the defense plays well they can easily beat anyone in the Horizon League. I thought the CMU announcers gave a lot of props to YSU's team as they have all the tools to win a championship. Turnovers, scoring droughts, and a lack of D are the only things this team has struggled with at times thus far.
