Nix D it up, holding the Penguins to 30% shooting, and get the win. Phoenix strong at the line and close it out strong. Jordan Fouse with a big dunk to start a late run. Carrington Love also played well, his quickness was needed against a quick YSU team.
Freshman Bobby Hain will be a very nice player for them. Slocum has built a respectable program there despite a very small budget.

Carrington Love also played well, his quickness was needed against a quick YSU team.] Good description of the game. Freshman really came through strong. Ft's at the end really keep us ahead, Youngstown put up a couple of 3's and had some momentum but GB answered when they cut it to 5-6 from double figures with a couple of minutes left. The Youngstown section was yelling their choking we'll catch them. NOT Just read this morning that Jordan missed his double double by 1 rebound, 2 games ago I think he got his 1st double double and almost had a triple. What a player he just keeps getting better and better. Way to go Jordan and only 25 minutes because of fouls. Also way to go, everyone made big plays when it counted. Pulling together after a frustrating 1st half.

Just thought this was interesting from the YSU board. It really sums up the battle this game was. Much better than I could do.
"Green Bay, Wis. – The Youngstown State men's basketball team could not find its shooting touch all game and dropped a 67-58 decision to Horizon League opponent Green Bay on Thursday evening at the Resch Center.
Junior Kendrick Perry scored a game-high 21 points with six rebounds and six steals to lead the Penguins, who fall to 9-8 overall and 1-3 in the Horizon League. Senior Blake Allen added 10 points.
Green Bay improves to 9-9 overall and 3-2 in the league. The Phoenix is also 8-1 at home this season.
The Phoenix scored seven of the first nine points of the second half to take a 32-27 lead with 15:38 left.
Allen hit two 3's to get the Penguins within one and Shawn Amiker's layup at the 11:58 mark gave the YSU a 35-34 lead, its last of the game.
Over the next seven minutes, the Phoenix outscored the Penguins, 17-3, and took 13-point lead, 51-38, with 4:56 to go.
Kamren Belin hit a 3-pointer and a free throw to get within six with 1:31 left, but the Penguins would not get any closer.
The Penguins, who made 5-of-10 from 3-point range in the second half, went 4-for-17 from inside the arc after halftime.
The Penguins and Phoenix battled through four ties and two lead changes in the first half and each team used runs to stay in the game.
After jumping out to a 7-0 lead, the Penguins went cold and Green Bay used an 11-2 run to go up 11-9 on a Carrington Love layup with 11:13 to go.
Youngstown State seemed to find its shooting touch from the perimeter connecting on three 3-pointers – two by Perry and one by Blake Allen – and a layup by Perry to take a 21-13 lead with 6:23 left.
The Phoenix battled back to outscore the Penguins, 12-4, and closed out the half tied at 25-25.
The Penguins shot just 28.1 percent in the first half but forced Green Bay turnovers, which led to nine points.
The Penguins stay on the road to take on Milwaukee, Saturday, Jan. 19. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. at the Klotsche Center. The game can be heard on AM 570 WKBN and seen on the Horizon League Network."

I was relieved to get this win. We have had our problems with this team in the past and I did not think our match up improved without Mays. They are playing very good defense at this time and it has allowed them to win. Getting very good production from the freshmen.
Does anyone know what is wrong with Arenz? He really could have used a redshirt year but the roster numbers just did not allow.

Does anyone know what is wrong with Arenz? Nick missed his 2nd game with a quad bruise. Just read this morning that Jordan missed his double double by 1 rebound, 2 games ago I think he got his 1st double double and almost had a triple. What a player he just keeps getting better and better. Way to go Jordan and only 25 minutes because of fouls. Special player indeed. He can have a huge impact on the game without scoring. He is a huge part of the success of the 1-2-2 defense. Andrew Gavin tweeted last week that Fouse is in the conference's top 10 in rebounds, blocks, and steals. He is the only freshman in the top 10 of any category. Here's Gavin's game recap, with box score and post game press conference video: Balanced attack, defense, spark sixth-straight home win
