Winning on the road matters and YSU can’t do it
It’s time to talk about a pressing matter for the Youngstown State’s men’s basketball program.
This program doesn’t know how to win on the road…. AT ALL.

Horizon League Power Rankings – Week 4
Week 4 of this strange season marked the start of Horizon League play. Due to scheduling, there weren't a ton of matchups where the more likely sweep was going to dramatically change things on the rankings. Thing wound up mostly predictable – minus a surprising sweep on the western edge of the league – and as a result there weren't many major shakeups in this week's rankings.
