clarkwgriswold Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 The Zips head into the Wolstein Center this Saturday to face YSU. Per an article in the Youngstown Vindicator, YSU's "offseason that saw five players leave the team after Jarrod Calhoun’s side went 8-24 in his first season in charge... All of the players from previous head coach Jerry Slocum are gone to either graduation or transfers. Leading the charge is a pair of sophomores: forward Naz Bohannon and guard Garrett Covington." Here are a couple of articles from the Vindicator on this year's Penguins- http://www.vindy.com/news/2018/nov/03/will-ysu-mens-hoops-make-move/ http://www.vindy.com/news/2018/nov/01/bohannon-covington-ysus-dynamic-duo/ The Penguins lost 69 to 53 to Pitt opening night. I suspect the Penguins will be more talented than Cedarville and give the Zips a little more of a test. Hopefully, the Zips can improve on the Cedarville performance.

Blue & Gold Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) I'm planning on being there. Hope LePear's good to go. I don't want to see him get left behind so early in the season. Cool graphic Edited November 8, 2018 by Blue & Gold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Anybody headed up to the game? I'll be stuck around the corner watching Les Miserables. Jean Vajean has no game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I'm here. Lots of fouls and lots of Penguin 3s. They must be 9 of 12 from 3. Edited November 10, 2018 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsrule Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 YSU hitting a lot of 3s, which is why they have the early lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It hasn't been pretty, but a couple of threes, a dunk and a post play and we are right back in it. Edited November 10, 2018 by Illini Zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZippers Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm enjoying Riak's post game. Very slow and deliberate. He could develop into the most aggresive scoring big man we have had for a while. If he starts showing vision and passing, i might fall in love.

NWAkron Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Fun first half. Liked how Zips worked for a shot instead of chucking up 3s early in the clock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 We need to do a better job of running YSU off the 3 point line. Overall, I'll take going into half-time up 2 given the shooting clinic YSU put on in that 1st half. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to defend he 3 better, but it is unlikely that YSU will shoot 58.5% from the 3 line in the second half. Just keep up the aggressive D.

AyYo Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Other than YSU hitting a ton of 3s, a pretty good first half for the Zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
