Jim Ferry on 93.7 the fan at 9:30 today! Talking about the Dukes snowy adventure

Yeah I watched the first five minutes of it. Lasalle has a lot of injuries and only plays like 6 guys. They have one kid who's pretty good and does most of their scoring

It is a WHITE OUT for the game.

Next four in a row are actually on TV tonight and the other two besides Davidson are on 22 like you said. That's for Comcast and the same channel in hd is 812. The Davidson game is on nbc sports network

Anyone have a prediction for tonight? I think the Dukes will either come out flat from the events of the weekend or really run lasalle out of the game early. I personally think we will be a little sluggish early but then wear them down as the game goes on since lasalle has no depth. I'll say 78-63 Duquesne

Ferry almost never employs a pressure defense. It could speed this game up, but then maybe the idea is to avoid fouls (as LaSalle is doing.)  Also, although the broadcast announcers talked about the heavy minutes some of the Explorers' starters play - D.C. and Micah play an almost complete game every time.

So maybe this pace is not such a bad thing after all.

La Salle is embarrassingly bad.  

That's the way to close it out.

Strong play by Eric, double-double tonight.

Am I wrong in thinking that La Salle was the worst team we have played all season?  Their offense reminded me of a local summer league team and their defense was nonexistent.  

Not to rain on the parade, but if they had made a few more shots early, when we weren't making them either, it could have been a different game.  When it was a boring 9-9 about ten minutes into the game and both teams were shooting about 30% from the floor, it could have very easily gone the other way.

Oh I absolutely agree.  The first half made me sick.  It was a 3 point contest without any semblance of offensive or defensive cohesion.

Not a good year for the A-10. I thought after seeing St.Louis they where awful then came George Mason and Simms your right now LaSalle. All 3 games where bad.

Dome you can never not be negative it's borderline comical. George Mason, St. Louis, and La Salle are unarguably bottom half of the conference teams by records, talent, etc. how are any of these teams indicative to the strength of the conference? Not a good year for the A-10 or a better year for the Dukes? When were the bottom four teams in the league better than they are now? I hate to tell ya buddy but were steadily improving and this program is moving in the right direction. As much as you hate to hear it it's not them, it's us. Jackson will be big time next year!
