"Call your mom." - A Message From Corey

Youngstown State nearly pulled off an epic comeback against Detroit Mercy, trailing by 15 in the second half before cutting it to three with under a minute left—thanks to Tae Blackshear’s career-high 22 points and Bryson Dawkins’ 20, including 16 after halftime. Blackshear went a perfect 9-for-9 from the field, setting a school record since 2001. But Detroit Mercy sealed the 76-70 win with clutch free throws and a turnover, leaving the Penguins at 13-14 overall and 6-10 in the Horizon League. They’ll look to rebound at home against Cleveland State Wednesday night.

The Youngstown State Penguins are on a mission to bounce back from a tough loss to Detroit Mercy, as they host in-state rivals Cleveland State in a pivotal Horizon League showdown. With a chance to improve their record and set the tone for Senior Day, the Penguins need to execute — especially by holding a halftime lead, a pattern that’s led to all their wins this season. Junior Tae Blackshear dazzled with a career-high 22 points and perfect shooting, while senior Bryson Dawkins added 20. Cleveland State, reeling after three straight losses, brings a high-powered offense led by Dayan Nessah and Tre Beard — making defense key. This is the 109th meeting in a storied rivalry, and a win would give the Penguins their 49th victory over the Vikings and coach Ethan Faulkner his 35th win. The stage is set for a gritty, high-stakes battle.
