You cannot leave someone wide open from 3 like that.

I said it on Thursday that we wouldn't beat a more athletic and lengthy team with the same corps of players. We skated by RMU because they're a bad team. YSU is a middle of the pack team, and when they have 11 players and we have 6, I would expect to lose, even if we had, by far, the two best players on the court tonight.
This is a game we win handily with our full squad. Our inability to defend aggressively in the last 3 minutes is the reason we lost. A healthy Raider squad wouldn't give up 89 points to a middle of the pack HL team.
Tough to swallow this loss because we won 35 of the 40 minutes of basketball. I'm sure all 300 fans in attendance enjoyed a 1-3 homestand.

Tough loss. Hopefully WSU isn't short handed anymore this year.

Nice effort with the short roster, but if this group just plays a little defense they win. I know they are short handed right now, but defense cost us tonight. Its hard to win if you have to score 91 to win a game.

Its hard to win if you have to score 91 to win a game. We were really only playing with 4 guys that should be on scholarship tonight. I was willing to give Wilbourn a pass for his play earlier in the year because he was coming off an injury and was trying to learn a new system. I didn't see anything from him in the last 2 games given extended minutes that makes me hopeful he is going to give us any type of meaningful contribution in the future.

I'm really happy with the play of our 2 true freshmen this year. Our transfer portal guys who should be at least contributing off the bench have both been busts.

Which is exactly why he plays behind a Freshman.

I was really pleased with everyone's effort the last 2 days. They stepped up big time and almost came away with both victories.

agreed, I know the coach was not pleased with the defense again, but defense takes much more effort than offense, which would have contributed to the decline in defense in the last few minutes of the game

Nice effort tonight Raiders Agreed, I thought the effort was about all that one could ask. My perception of the biggest problem occurred ~ 37 minute where it seemed like fatigue just took over. And this is not a criticism of the players or their preparation. It would happen to any team after all of the minutes they played with their few available players.

Yes, I remember that game. We were all just shaking our heads on the ride home from Detroit, trying to figure out why he didn't play at all. Wasn't that the championship game as well?
