YSU's home opener spoiled by Western Michigan

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Max Burton and Brandon Muntu both had 18 points in Western Michigan's 73-62 victory against Youngstown State on Wednesday.
Burton had 12 rebounds for the Broncos (3-4). Muntu went 6 of 9 from the field (4 for 4 from 3-point range). Markhi Strickland had 16 points and shot 5 of 13 from the field and 5 of 11 from the free-throw line.
The Penguins (2-5) were led by EJ Farmer, who posted 20 points. Juwan Maxey added 12 points and seven assists for Youngstown State.
Nico Galette finished with nine points, seven rebounds and four steals.
"We're early in the season," said YSU head coach Ethan Faulkner. "We got a lot of basketball left, a lot of time left to fix it but we've got to have urgency day in and day out to get better and that's going to be the message that I'm certainly expressing to our players and coaching staff."
The Penguins have lost three straight games. They return to action Saturday, November 30 when they host Bethany at 6 PM.
