Penguin men making strides

November 18, 2008

It’s only one game into the season, but there are some noticeable differences with the Youngstown State men’s basketball team. It might seem like the same Penguins with a poor-shooting half, lulls in the offense and a loss to an inferior opponent in Buffalo, which played without its top scorer from last season. However, looks are deceiving. Take Sirlester Martin. The wiry 6-foot-7, 210-pound junior forward from Memphis had a double-double. He paled in comparison to Buffalo’s 6-9, 260-pound bullish Vadim Fedotov, but the stats told otherwise. In past years, YSU would be mismatched physically and wouldn’t even pass the eye test in matching up post players. The Penguins, against some teams, looked more like a freshman team squaring off against a varsity squad. This year, YSU did pass the eye test. The Penguins looked evenly matched to Buffalo and, I’m sure most other teams as well. And, the Penguins only committed 10 turnovers.
