Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 5068617, member: 43"] A few quick things I expected Duke to play much better and win but thought SU would lose by a few or 1 in a close game. That 1st half was a but whooping. I can't explain the horrific start by the FOGO's. I know Naso was out and they don't knwo the back up but man you can't lose 5 straight to start and violate twice. Defensively the Mcadory move clearly had SU flumoxed but once its 3-0 Gait has to call a TO and Odierna has to make some changes. Kol has done a pretty good job on crease guys and finishers but he in no scenario is a match up for Mcadorey, ever. Get Caccamo in there or bump Olexxo down which they did but only after it was 5-0. Also while were on the staff when both the fogos' look lost give Gibbs a draw or Richiusa maybe they hit lightning a bottle for a few draws then go back to the starters. You have like 7 FOGO's on the roster why not use the depth when the main 2 guys are having an off night? Clearing was mostly fine because Duke doesn't 10 man or really ride but why this team insists on trying to split double and triple teams is beyond me. Figueris and Levine both tried for reasons I have no idea. Offensively Joey looked good but when HIltz struggles were a mess and he struggled mightily tonight. He's been really good so you give him a pass but we won't get anywhere if he's not himself next week. 1 shot the entire game is absurd. I thought the staff finally got it when they went to Leo at attack late vs UVA but we went back to Mule I think full time again. Mule had 1 pt, an assist. He's a good player and I am not looking for him to be benched but he's way to inconsistent and the lack of dodging is an anchor against other top teams. Leo has to see more time at attack. Good performance from Stevens, good to see him stay strong. English struggled, he's been up and down all year, gonna be one of those seasons I guess. As Powellfan noted this will hopefully be a wake up call but this was a very disappointing performance. Good news is most of the team responded after the awful 1st quarter Kohn finished at 63% which is impressive when he started 0-5. D needs to flush some things, two games in a row they've been abused, UVA and Duke have good offenses but that was way to easy. Offensively this team wins when Hiltz, Thomson and Leo are scoring. They had 2 pts combined and 0 goals, not gonna cut it. [/QUOTE]
