I was sitting at floor level at last night's UIC game, which put me in a position to see the action more the way it truly is. I went away with a lot of respect for how hard we played, even though as usual we were outsized - both in height and bulk. I can see where a season of this kind of stuff could take it's toll on an undersized team. Although I still think our best days are behind us, it says a lot about the character of this team that they definitely have not given up, despite recent disappointing results.
At a minimum, I think they deserve our continued support to the end, whenever that comes. I hope to see a lot of fellow faithful Crusader fans on Tuesday.

As I like to do... looking back over the years... we've played Youngstown State twice in the post season (since 1984)...
Championship game of the MidCon in 1998, a win, 67-48 at the Mark of the Quad Cities
and
First Round MidCon in 1995 at the ARC, another win, 77-52.
In both of those seasons, we split with them. in '95, we won on our own court; and in '98 we lost and home and won at the Beegley.

I say that we need to play well from start to finish and never let YSU in this game.
VU - 83
YSU - 63

I expect a war... YSU may want some revenge for that OT loss 3 weeks ago.

Youngstown State 70
Valpo 73
Valpo is shooting poorly and playing terrible defense. This is a team like Loyola that you can't have a bad start against. YSU has more to prove it seems.
See you next year Horizon League. 2 years in a row Valpo will lose at home in the 1st game of the conference tourney.
EDIT: It seems Valpo really does want this game! Great! I.m glad Valpo finally realized this was the last game if they lose.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we lost tonight, but come on guys, let's make some noise in this tournament!  |

well that was more than a little nervewracking. i hate seeing a 19 point lead evaporate to 3...what's wrong with a good old fashioned beatdown every once in a while? we play like this on friday against wright state and we're screwed... sadly, i don't hold out much hope for that game.

...And breathe out...
Are we playing WSU or Detroit? The StatTraker says Detroit, but they very well could be wrong.

You wonder why we can't get a win nice and easy? In the words of Tina Turner, "We neva eva do nothin nice and easy"  |
