Yes if i’m will mark i’d be very upset. Dude just made 27saves some really big ones specially in OT just for O to take a poor shot early in shot clock also. Mark deserved a win .
Believe Bolea was injured again during the game. Didn’t look good.
yea i did see that hopefully isn’t bad and just a tweak or sprain. I think he played well in time he had. Think he needs more time and can be pretty solid. We can’t keep using rice and murphy non stop. Will tire then out ware down or worst injury. Need someone else to maby give it shot. Some with O skills can be threat. Mean leadmon and fairman both changed n did very well. So like see gait maby give someone chance maby someone who has some size speed and strength.Believe Bolea was injured again during the game.

When 35% of a particular aspect of a sport requires a penalty - namely face offs - it’s time to change the rules so that players can execute it with more success.I have no idea how FOs are officiated.
Just make it a Braveheart scrum or hockey draw.
Last year, Gait looked around the locker room and realized he had next to nothing. See any of last year's roster around? Not many is your answer.Two points: 1) why are we so bad at groundballs? Is it coaching or is it the players we have? Seems a lot of it is will, hustle & effort. No? 2) 90 plus percent of mens college lacrosse coaches would have called TO when we got the ball in OT and brought in the box in order to set up a play. Why didn't GG? Is it his arrogance or his ignorance in having so little experience coaching the mens game? As has been said on here Birtwhistle didn't take a great shot but they weren't getting many openings and he thought he had one. Maybe going high would have been better. The coaches have to have a play to call in that situation. It should be practiced every week. Five or so years ago I wrote Wildhack to replace Desko & put GG in that position. Now I'm wondering whether he has it to succeed. Last year he seemed like a disaster, if he coached at all last year, and I've heard that halfway through the season he lost the locker room. I worry it could happen again this year with making boneheaded decisions like not calling the TO.
Forgot about Cordes. Hasn't played since Holy Cross. Is he injured?I still think we need to mix in some more d guys. Need another short stick dmid even if or when aviles comes back. Boela played n don’t think looked terrible thought should played more. Think we need to play more guys throughout as clearly see dude are tired and then make mistakes n horrible turnovers. As said throw beck or dwan in for spell or two here and there. Also mix in some more O guys like kempney or cordes. Notice duke was playing bunch of guys throughout even towards end of game. Just to save some legs or give breather or even just to give some experience for guys.

I was at the game today. I find it hard to be critical of any aspect of Cuse's effort. I thought the defensive effort was impressive given how much time they were on the field. The defense legitimately deserves credit for a chunk of Mark's saves, pressuring the Duke shooters. Mark had a great game by any measure and was in the zone throughout.Rumor is Bolea might have a torn ACL. Was excited to see him today so that's stinks. We play to much defense as it is due to possessions so another injury is not good. These guys look tired today at the game. This defense actually played ok today there just out there to much. Will Mark today was out of this world. Such a shame they couldn't get this W.

I was disappointed in Gait's post-game comments about the fogos - his tone was overly negative IMO when these guys are busting their butts to improve. It was not diplomatic and not worthy of a head coach.
I wish they’d make it similar to basketball.When 35% of a particular aspect of a sport requires a penalty - namely face offs - it’s time to change the rules so that players can execute it with more success.
I get what your saying but even taking into account the massive disparity at the X I find it hard not to be concerned about the defense. Duke hit 12 pipes and Mark (who was absolutely outstanding) had to make nearly 30 saves. Mark doesn't play out of his mind and Duke gets even a handful of the pipe shots they score 20+ easily. The current scheme were running has major issues and clearly personnel is an issue in some spots as well.

Goalie starts with the ball as if he just made a save. Or make it another player from the end line.
Get the specialization out of the sport.
(Damn you, Bill Tierney.)
Bring him back as D-Coordinator?Desko may have lost his luster on the recruiting trail but I don’t know of a coach who was better at in game adjustments
