Tough game but to way to many mistakes we've seen Gait teams make. Need to regroup and win next week at a struggling Duke
Why is this gait teams ???? Desko’s teams made mistakes so did Simmons your pick for coach Andy Shay’s team is pure trash . There are no undefeated teams so tell me whose team doesn’t make mistakes???

Gaits the coach, whose responsibility would it be when the team consistently starts slow in big games; Kevin Donahue? Kyle Fetterly? Quint Kessenich? Duke in the Acc tourney last year, Towson and Denver in the tourney Marykand and Cornell this year etc. Team looks unprepared full stop. Doesn't mean I think he should be fired but you can't ignore reality either.

Comparing Gaits teams to Desko and Simmons is worse then your take on Anderson. Desko has 5 national titles, Gait hasn't made a final four yet.
 
ND 12 UVa 7.
ND was up 7 with like 5 mins left before UVA went on a run ND scored an empty netter with 30 secs left to save the push
 
I’m sorry, but I just can’t let this go. I’ve been listening to Booker Corrigan call both HS & College games for years so I’m well versed in his sophomoric antics & catch phrases. His lyric references & sayings like “that shot was more far right than a Michael Moore movie” or “that shot got more pipe than….(followed by a Hunter Biden or Marion Barry drug use reference)” may catch new listeners off guard but he’s been saying this stuff for years.

That being said, following a 3rd quarter Cornell goal, he said “nice hard bouncer….a little Paris Hilton there.” The other announcer, who laughed at his jokes all day, clearly sounded uncomfortable & didn’t even respond. Am I crazy or is this anything other than a completely vulgar & inappropriate reference to her sex tape? He is who he is & his shtick isn’t for most but this line caught me completely off guard. Imagine if someone said that on an ESPN, ACCN, BTN, etc. broadcast? There’s families & kids tuned in. Again, is this a reference to something else in relation to Hilton that’s going completely over my head?…..because I’m honestly hoping that’s the case.

EDIT: 21:25 in the game highlights in post #379 later in this thread.

I was only able to catch a bit of the 2nd quarter and obviously as others experienced, the broadcast wasn't great. Looking over the stats, those look pretty even outside of the goalie play. Hope McCool can rebound next week, last thing they need is uncertainty there. I'll be interested to see the highlights though because that part of the game I did see man did it seem like they just gave Cornell too many easy looks. Cornell has a really good offense, definitely don't need to help them out.

Nice to see Rhoa get 3 goals today but good lord that was on 13 shots???

I watched a decent amount of the Duke/UNC game and my takeaway was that Duke is certainly beatable. Would hope they can split the next 2 games and they could still be the #1 seed in the ACC tourney.
 
Horrendous missed moving pick call on Goldsteins goal at the start 4th. Clear as day and nothing from the refs. Tough at a crucial time in the game.

Wish we did more initiating from the attack throughout the game and also thought we went with the first line middies too much down the stretch. They get looks, but if you roll with them for multiple possessions at a time they are going to get gassed. We have to trust the depth more and dodge with the attack more.

Leo was cramping/hurt on that one man up play in the 4th and turned it over at a crucial time. English had a TO in the 4th. The extended run they get will catch up with them. Cant wait until we get Thomson back and I would still like to get Deere out there somehow. This is a defense we have tripped up with our offball movement and attack dodging in the past. Wish we emphasized that more today rather than constantly going for middie speed dodges down the stretch. Tired guys make sloppy plays.

Knust killed us again. When he is on he is very solid. Defense often left Jimmy hanging but there were also some he should have had.

An annoying theme has been headache inducing unforced errors. The players have to execute better. I don't know if it's that they get tense when playing from behind, but it was a problem all game. The overly physical play when the refs are calling it tight is also beyond annoying. The staff has to tell them to tone down the hits when we are getting diced up by their man down unit.

Frustrating game. Still have some faith in this team making a run.
 
Nope. Guy's a jackass who should not have access to a live mic.
Fetterley was taking subtle jabs at him and Corrigan sports all day on TK99. Clearly he’s not well liked by some of the collegiate community
 
Just not enough hustle today n to many way to many guys we’re going after the ball leaving dudes wide open. One play was 3 orange guys going for gb but cornell came up with it to throw it right away n get a goal. To many times saw our guys both go for ball absolutely no “man / ball” “ talk out there. Seemed everytime we got it to two n had ball to pull within 1 we turned it over unforced or hit pipe n didn’t get the gb. Few times guys not fully hustling to balls going out on shots. The one man up shot hits pipe goes to midfield n goes to cornell where was our d guy ?

Defense was sliding way way too much. Cornell moves ball very well don’t think sliding so much or quickly is the answer. There seem no communication out there when did slide. As one goal where cornell guy came from behind untouch grace top of crease n kol behind yet grace didn’t move n kol tried to go from one side to other to get man. When grace should have slid to ball n kol take man on crease. Also mccool just wasn’t good. The outside shots he let in today just can’t happen. They were clear line of sight n least good distance out. He didn’t seem to step to ball on shots either.

Also don’t get why we didn’t tell bear get ball n go. As he couldn’t be stopped anytime he took it to rack. Grant he missed least 2 great chances but he was getting to goal. He barely tried it after first few times. Joey didn’t touch ball much was mostly leo rhoa n english with ball beside when hiltz did. Mullen had slow start n few times we needed the ball n a win but didn’t. Can’t fault him to much but we really need to get another solid fogo.

This team just came out slow n looked like they weren’t ready or up for playing today. Seem D went right back to swinging for sticks instead of taking body. To many unforced turnovers at the worst times. To many poor angle shots again n again. Which normally starts the offenses lulls. Have to get to middle of field improve ur angle. Cornell is a good team their offense is very good n their goalie had nice game (was huge diff today) but we def could have won that game.

last but not least those refs were absolutely terrible. That rice flag was most crazy flag i have ever seen. Wasn’t from behind was from front chest or lower area so yea rice over powered him oh well not illegal. Plus clearly could see cornell guy grabbing his stick. Seemed we got call for every rinky dink soft touch while cornell could do no wrong. I do agree our guys have to stop hitting guys high specially when can easily line them up like the leo flag. Had clear line to use shoulder yet goes high to where stick hits dudes head. Also dwan needs to be better. Could be me but sometimes he just seems lazy to me. He seems like his name or size will intimidate his guy to where they won’t even test him. As he plays so far off he seems to just jog with them not on their hands or taking body but will throw borderline slash at a terrible time n where everyone can see(lucky doesn’t get called) but has to be smarter n better.
 
Also wasn’t thrilled gait didn’t call a timeout till cornell went up 8-2 when clearly could see things were all out of sorts. I know doing so can give other team a shot by calling time out. But maby let’s not wait till 6-7 straight goals get scored before pause n settle our guys down huh? It was very clear that we weren’t ready n all discombobulated even before cornell reached 8 goals. Also man down normally very good but today they just floated to much to one side n packed it in way to much. If player is behind cage n has ball n man down don’t go out on him same goes for all way up top. As that’s what they want u to come out so can move ball n get ya on the wheel. Leave them if they sit there cause not pressing out so much oh well let them waste their man up time. Every man down i could see what was gonna happen most times. We just left backside open way too much. Just overall very poor performance at some very important times.

This team still has everything in their hands but they have to seize control n take it. Also saw someone say tall task taking on ND n cornell back to back. I totally agree but at same time that is gonna be a given if make tounry. Your going to play good team after good team after good team. That is how you win the chip. As you have to be on ur A game every game. The road is not gonna be easy from here on out n hasn’t been since the uva game. This is where this team either becomes a final four or chip team or bust. Have to play your best from here on out. Can not take a play or game off. Gotta push strong till memorial day hopefully. This team has to be more consistent period. They have the talent n skill to do so , now just have to go do it. Let’s go orange get back after it practice hard this week n beat duke. And i’ll see you in the dome on april 27th vs unc. Can’t wait to get back up to cuse.

Who’s laughing now? Today you saw the difference between a real Tewaaraton finalist (Kirst) vs someone who can only pile up points against non-final four teams. You’ll see it again in the Elite 8 matchup, too. Keep laughing… I stand by my take, and also my other take that Rhoa needs to sit and that Hottle needs to play more. THIS is the year to win the chip, too, because we have enough talent and there is no great team out there (this is possibly the weakest that the ACC lax teams have ever been!). Chances like this don’t come around too often

You were MIA after last week. Rhoa had 3 today.

ACC isn't weak. It's just not stacked with 6 year players.

Have to agree with the Dwan assessment. Don’t get the stance he is in right now. He needs to get the stick out and actually use it. He is giving his cover too much space. He never makes them feel uncomfortable when he is on ball.
