This probably won’t be my top game tomorrow but already bet this since it’s the only line out .. one of my favorites.. Youngstown state is the class of the conference.. this is just as much a fade of a Norse team I am not impressed with .. it starts with the below average big Chris Brandon. He’s not a scoring threat. Overrated rim protector and the only guy that collects boards on this team. Problem is, he’s constantly in foul trouble. He has fouled out twice( once in 18 minutes) and had 4 fouls in the last 4 games down the stretch. They have nothing after him. Nelson the NKU transfer and green should feast inside like the only game they played.. 30 points 21 rebounds on 12-17 shooting from the floor combined. (18 point Youngstown win) .. then you have Faulkner who is one of my most erratic shooters in the nation like I said in the Cleveland state game earlier(win) this year he can just self implode and stagnate that team with shot selection.. NKU has a good defensive team but just like the first game.. the penguins have too many weapons.. make their free throws (top 20 in nation 78%) shoot the 3 at 37% and will outrebound the 265th in the nation norse team.. while the norse are 300th in the nation at free throw shooting.. so it boils down to Youngstown’s 6th In the nation offense scoring 83 ppg vs NKU’s defense which is good and 110th In the nation in defensive efficiency 63.5 ppg.. Youngstown is too good ..
