The Youngstown State Penguins are not projected to do very well in the Horizon Conference this season. They struggled offensively in their opener vs. lowly Oberlin, shooting less than 40%, and were able to knock down just 4-of-16 from deep. The issue worsened against Kent State, shooting just 37% and hit just 2-18 from deep or 11%. Those were a pair of home games, and things could be equally bad or worse in taking to the road for the first time vs. Central Michigan. Central Michigan is off a cupcake win in their opener, but the difference is they dominated unlike Youngstown State. Youngstown State is 1-11 straight-up the past couple of seasons after a double-digit home win, and under head coach Jerry Slocum, they are 15-72 straight-up as a road dog. The Chippewas have a lot more weapons, and the Penguins' lack of scoring options will bite them hard on their first road test of the season. Play Central Michigan on the moneyline.
