Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 4237684, member: 6798"] Just getting back and not terribly disappointed despite the result. Third quarter run could easily be blamed on the sheer amount of time Cornell had the ball, not just defensive mishaps. You can’t be making dumb turnovers early in the shot clock on O, and losing at the x, AND failing clears all at once. That illegal stick to start the quarter. That offsides after a full possession of solid D into an instant goal. Shot clock resets on an already exhausted D. It was too much. I am not in a major Petro hating mood either. I liked that one look of zone we threw at them super late to get it going the other way. They were not expecting it out of the time out. Would have maayyybe liked to see it earlier due to the fatigued D, but that would have ruined the effect in that moment. Want to preface this by saying that Caccamo played a phenomenal game and is the most promising freshman we have. Great to have a guy that doesn’t just stop his man but puts it on the ground too. But that last play in regulation was entirely on him and he knows it. Murphy had piatelli pushed to a bad enough angle where he should have never slid. He messed up. And then didn’t commit to the slide entirely and got stuck in no man’s land. Stays on longs stick there and it’s probably game over. Tragic. Seeing powel fans comment about no Corsi and birtwistle. I think that is due almost entirely to the zone and them being more dodgers first than feeders/shooters. We got good looks against the zone after some early goofs in the third. Not enough shooting power on this team behind curry and dordevic, and dordevic was looking super worn down. It showed in his shots against the zone. They are fighting like crazy so it’s devastating that they came this close and got nothing. The effort out there is 110% even through the fatigue. Blanket trashing the roster and “deskos guys” is a no no. I’ll admit I made a comment about the seniors after the army game that I regret now. They don’t deserve that. They have had a tough go at it and are still showing up and batting. To play Cornell this close without an x advantage is still a positive achievement. [/QUOTE]
