Is anyone really thinking opposing coaches are going to press and trap the Dukes? Any competent coach will zone us or play us man D and force us to try to take outside shots with the man D setup. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: El Duque 's message, "It's going to be hard to press and trap the Dukes this year. We have a bunch of guys who can handle the ball now. I think Evans is pretty fearless against any kind of defense. But we probably haven't had a kid like Talley since Devin Montgomery." on Friday, July 16, 12:52:56pm

Why not? There will be game situations that call for it. (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, July 16, 02:46:26pm
IMO, if they Man D us...I spread the floor and let our guards take them off the dribble. Our guards may not be tall be they are very quick. If someone drops to pick him up, it's a relatively simple dish. If they go zone, we can attack with either guard, then dish to either Clark or the remaining guard. -- TMH, Friday, July 16, 03:25:26pm
Rogabee I agree with you based on the way we shot the try last year. This year could be different . My hope is it's a case of pick your poison for the other team. Zone us and watch Clark, TJ, and JJ bust it, or play man and watch the Evans and Saunders show take it to the hoop. (NT) -- CLK, Friday, July 16, 05:37:40pm
- I agree completely. This could be fun. (NT) -- TMH, Friday, July 16, 06:25:34pm
- And CLK, to repeat something you've mentioned so often, if we can just finish FTs this year, it will make a huge difference. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, July 17, 07:33:28am
  - Funny story...I happened to be in the area and stopped into the AJP for last season's exhibition against LaRoche. Sat in the red seats and there was this old couple sitting next to me and the woman was whining to her husband about the FT shooting the whole time. I remember thinking, "Geezus lady, it's just an exhibition, they will be fine." Oh how I wish I knew who she was now so that I could go apologize to her for my evil thoughts...
