Everyone on the team failed last night -- the players and the coaches.  Anyone who has watched the last few Duke games on TV knew that moving McAdorey to Attack was possible.  Almost every announcer mentioned it.  The coaches failed to take that into account and prepare the team.

But as far as being back -- we are back.  At least the first big step back -- into the NCAA Tournament.  The next step of being back is making the Final Four and then winning it all.  It hasn't been pretty all year but we were 3 plays away from being 14-2 instead of 11-5.  We'd all take either at the beginning of the season.  Heck, many on here just wanted to win one ACC game and get into the ACC Tournament.

As far as seeding, we were #4 in the RPI going into the game last night and we remain at #4.  Could we have moved up to #2 seed or #3 seed?  Probably.  But are we really going to nitpik as to whether we're back based on whether we're a #3 seed or a #4 seed?  [Patrick Stevens thinks we'll be a #3 now anyway.]

To answer the question on the cover of Inside Lacrosse Magazine pre-season -- Hopkins and Syracuse -- are they back?  The answer is YES.
