It's not the boxing out itself, it's more of us being being too slow when rotating defensively, which is causing us to not be able to find anyone to box out.
I wouldn't call this an ugly win. The guys played well overall with the exception of Branch making the double blunder to close the first half. Dom played extraordinary. Dlo played well. Sampson played well. Sanchez was out of it a lot but had some nice moments and the offense looked a lot better when he was on the floor. Green played well and even had a nice assist. Strategy was pretty effective and for the most part executed well. While they got tempted to rely on the jumpshot they shook it off several times to get the offense going through Sampson.
If Youngstown St had a little more muscle in the frontcourt they'd be a very good team.
