Duquesne's front court is terrible. Ferry applies no pressure on defense, yet we have to fight to just inbound let alone get it up court, then they are right in our face. Ferry, on the other hand doesn't play defense? Ferry applies no pressure on defense, yet we have to fight to just inbound let alone get it up court, then they are right in our face. Ferry, on the other hand doesn't play defense? They can't use a pressure defense because he only uses two guards. They wear out late in the game. I continue to be puzzled why this team can't defend a simple ball screen.

They can't use a pressure defense because he only uses two guards. They wear out late in the game. That's bull, Morrehead is using guards and forwards to press. If coulter and Mason can't press, play more players, AND why???,because we are losing anyways, so why play this way? At least we would see more players, and remember, we are losing with coulter and mason playing all the time?? And way to miss 4 crucial free throws with five minutes to go, that really could have made a difference in the game. Typical Followed by DC's kicked ball and MM's offensive foul. I'm done. Put this men's season out of it's misery. Going to watch the Ladies.

That's either a coaching or recruiting problem, or both. Morehead State is more athletic than Duquesne. That's bull, Morrehead is using guards and forwards to press.

Now we try to press, but if you don't press all the time, then you aren't any good at it, nor can you handle the press (like Ferry's teams) This team might have become worse as the season progressed, finally it's over....😬 This team might have become worse as the season progressed, finally it's over....😬 They got worse because the opponents got better, exposed the flaws. Weak underneath. No depth at guard. Bad defense. This team might have become worse as the season progressed, finally it's over....😬 Too easy to scout, to predictable, too easy to cover our guards, no defensive pressure. These are coaching errors, not the players. If Ferry is here next year, expect more of the same. If the AD or the University is thinking they are saving some money having him here next year, they are wrong. Completely empty seats more bad years of recruiting and the obvious firing him later than sooner, only makes a deeper hole for the next guy. This way of thinking is why Duquesne, has such a long , long, losing record. Keep Ferry here, save some of that contract money ?? will dig a deeper hole, and the University wonders, who is to blame? That was painful to watch. Ritters, you are right on: You'd think a guy who ardently desires to play four small as a rule would have 5-6 guards raring to go. You'd think a guy who ardently desires to play four small as a rule would have 5-6 guards raring to go. The reason they are shorthanded there is baffling. Guards are the most plentiful position to recruit in college basketball. Not to have them is inexcusable. Or to have them and not use them is inexcusable. This forum is hosted for free by Boardhost.

"They should be four deep at guard at this point. That's either a coaching or recruiting problem, or both. Morehead State is more athletic than Duquesne."
CLK I can happily say I missed the second half and just saw the score and read the Board, of course I feel your pain. What a joke, Iron Duke told me he listened to the post game and Ferry makes the same delusional comments about how much better DU is and the effect of the Kobe Bryant, oops sorry...I mean JJones injury!!! Give me a break, no one is buying this bull.
