I don't know about Mason at the point. Zero assists tonight.

Never thought Stevens would give up the ball.

Who would have thought that Mason and McCoy are minor parts to this team right now.  Jeez

Mason was playing so well vs the low majors, but since we stepped up in competition, he's been pretty bad. We can't afford to lose to Bobby Mo. If he struggles early, it may be time to put Colter back at the point.

Horrible look at end of game!

Again and again and again--one shot to tie or win, enough time on the clock and a time out left -- and once again, we don't call a time out to set up a play for the last shot--and again and again we end up heaving a bad percentage desperation shot and lose---again and again. It's Ground Hogs Day the movie.

tough loss on the road vs a big10 team. still a gritty performance.
id try a lineup of mason dc gill powell and mckoy.
move dc back to point. 
mckoy may not have the offensive flash as powell or 3pt capability as gill, but mckoy plays hard, he hustles, and he plays tough defense.dont get me wrong, i love the potential of powell and gill. i think powell could be one of the best to leave the bluff in 4 years, but mckoy also has experience 'banging' underneath, and in the a10 thats key. 

i like robinson, i think he will develop. i just think we all bought into the hype from a cbs sports writer saying he is a 12/8 guy his freshman year, which i think is absurd to put that kind of pressure on a kid who sat out a year, esp in a conference as good as the a10. he needs experience and more time in weight room, and more time working out with coach rhoades(he wasnt allowed to practice with team last year)

what impresses me about lewis, compared to some of the other 'big guys' we have had thru the years, is effort and will...the kid clearly has made a jump from fr to soph year. and you can tell he is putting in the time and effort to get better...diamond in the rough!

This is the first game in Ferry's tenure that I liked what I saw with his coaching.
Mason didn't play well against Pitt either...he is pressing...he will be fine.  He is talented and it will come.
I actually think this was a no-brainer!  Make 3 more foul shots and we win.  We played well enought to win.  Our foul shooting killed us.  

CLK, Jones had a couple of questionable passes, and shots, throughout the game.

As for Donovan Jack, if I remember correctly, he killed us last year too. Six blocked shots, as I recall? I think that's one kid, if we're honest with ourselves, we wish had stayed with us, assuming he would have developed the same way with our staff.

Just to have my final word on the State Pen stuff, I think after an evening of hearing "Mason Sucks" and other comments about our players that came through loud and clear on my television, I have no remorse for any remarks directed their way. Children suffered. Lives were ruined. Heads were turned. Disgusting.

Please don't come back with crap about my program. I'll delete anything that is not 100% factually accurate.
 

  I was at the game. This provides a perspecitve beyond what is seen on TV.
  Micah couldn't hit any shots in pregame warmup or in the warm up before the beginning of the second half. At the end of the game, I thought he showed leadership. He was talking with team mates, encouraging them and consulting with them. And it was apparent that they were listening to him. The team looked confident before the last posession. 
  Coach Ferry had used up his timeouts before our last possession. Remember that there was a call that the ball went out of bounds off Duquesne when PSU had 3 seconds left on the shot clock. The refs looked at the replay and both teams got an extra time out out of it. We defended PSU's shot and had about 13 seconds to get off our last shot. PSU defended the perimeter well on our last possession. I can't blame the coach. 
  Our foul shooting was abysmal. 
  Powell is overmatched inside. He will be a good and perhaps great player if we can use him as a forward. 
  My comment about Donovan Jack is that Coach Ferry tried to get him to come to Duquesne, but he asked out of his contract when Coach Everhart was fired. After that, Ferry commented that Jack would be a project. I have seen him play against us and also in other games and there is no doubt he would be an asset to our team. However, I can't blame Ferry; he tried to get him. 
  Gino Thorpe played his best game at PSU. 
  PSU pads the attendance figures just like us.
  This was a game between two mediocre teams.
