eguins Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Following YSU's 1 point win over Wright State on Saturday where they honored former YSU MBB head coach and current Akron asst. Dan Peters, YSU coach Slocum stated in his press conference (View Here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VC0kRdwQLkM) that there is talk of a Coaches vs. Cancer tipoff tournament between YSU and Cleveland State of the Horizon League and Akron and Can't State of the MAC next season. Each team would face the two teams from the opposite league in a tipoff tournament, presumably either at a neutral site or rotating amongst the arenas of each team. Naturally, there would be no inter-conference games as those will come later in the year during conference play. Coach Slocum said Akron and Can't are on board with the idea, but that CSU is currently not 100% behind it. I personally think this would be a unique and fun tournament to open up the season, all for a great cause. Let's hope CSU gets behind this idea! Continued prayers for Coach Peters.

With 4 local, large universities involved, I wonder if it could be big enough to be played at the Q in Cleveland? A big, early season battle for NE Ohio D-1 supremacy?
