Tossing this one up on the overnight cause I'm thinking this one may drop a bit.

Youngstown ST +13 @ Kent St. (5 units) Big play


For what ever reason, YSU coach Slocum and his teams have given Kent St fits over the years. I've watched the Penguins play 3 times this year and I like this team a little bit. They have a lot of transfers but they have some talent and figure to get better as the season progresses. For those who may not much about caoch Slocum, he's one of a very, very few NCAA active coaches that have won over 600 games. He knows his shit.

FWIW: I may like the first half play even more when the number pops up tomorrow.

With a little more time now I can add some more on this one. First off, I have elevated this to a five unit play. I have thought about this game more and think that the suspension news is even bigger than it struck me on the surface.

Do not discount the importance of the suspension of Kent State's Carlton Guyton. This is another one of the prized kind of JUCO kid that Geno loves to bring in. He really doesn't care about the quality or the character of his players as human beings. He just wants kids that can play the game and help him win, rather sooner than later. Geno just sees wins and losses and how they lead to job security, thats it.

So, ALLEGEDLY, on Dec 15 Guyton sexually assults a young lady and steals her car and Geno is backed into a corner where he just has to suspend him. This is big news on the court because of these facts about Guyton :

1.He's missing his first game vs.YSU tuesday night.

2. Despite being new to the program, Guyton is in the top twenty in the MAC and second on the Flashes with minutes played per game at over 30.

3. He is really Kent State's only consistant long range scoring threat. Guyton is above 42% from beyond the arc which is first on the flashes and 6th in the MAC.


Randall Holt will play extended minutes and right now he can't throw it in the ocean. Slocum will no doubt pack it in and make life tough for Greene in the paint. Greene is a nice player but he needs some help that appears to be lacking for this one. For me it all boils down to seeing if Kent St can get any serious scoring from their backcourt and how well they can play as a unit without Guyton on the floor. Team chemistry takes a big hit when you suddenly lose a guy thats on the floor for 75% of a game.

Got some 13.5 at pinny - thanks for the heads up

Good number, you never know when that hook will save your ass. I do not have the luxury of being able to do business with them but I loved that book before they pulled out of the US Market.

I hope that number doesn't go up for us.

Strange stats at first glance for this game.
Both teams are undefeated at home, and winless on the road.

Penguins melting down the 2nd half, this is this teams track record one good half followed by a terrible half. I have tracked this team for awhile and they either have a great 1st half followed by a terrible 2nd half, or they get rolled early then come on in the 2nd half. Hope thry hold on for you, but I really hate backing YSU

YSU's coach Slocum was a great small college basketball coach, but I dont think he can coach at the D1 level. Complete different game at D1 compared to Nyack or Gannon

You guys said it. YSU in wonderful shape throughout just collapsed in the last 10 minutes. I got a push a but damn if my buddy Scott didn't get a win and Woodie as well.

It could have been much worse as the last score of the game was a dunk for YSU to get it back down to 13.

Sometimes you just have to kick back and say WTF !!

I still think it was an excellent call. They only play 30 minutes. It could come back on second halves later in the season. Thanks for the play.
