Duke Gameday...

[JeremyCuse]

In year 4 with this roster these problems shouldn't be an issue so often. At some point Gait has to change up this staffs philosophy. This team has underperformed way to much

 

[OrangeXtreme]

4-7

Half

 

[DMVCuseLax]

Turnovers 5 to 8. Difference in game.

 

[tbonezone]

4-7 half. offense is in zombie mode .

 

[JeremyCuse]

Duke averaging 8 goals a game the last month, they have 7 at half. Just ridiculous

 

[Comstock44]

Gary better light a fire under this team's ass!!!

 

[cuseguy]

When SU plays well, all the credit goes to the players. When they underperform, it’s because Gait didn’t have them ready.

Isn’t that how it goes?

 

[Scooch]

If we want to do something in the post season this is precisely the kinda game we gotta win. 30 minutes to make it right.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Losing track of Zulberti’s protégé Malever off ball is killing us.

McCool is doing more than enough to win. I’d like to see us initiate with Bear a bit more & hopefully run the 1st middies a bit more with Thomson replacing English as needed.

Problem is they haven't played well nearly enough. There 1-3 against top 10 teams this year and if they lose today there a bubble ncaa team For a team ranked 2nd pre season with this much talent the buck stops with Gait, period.

Gait hasn't picked up one ground ball or caused one turnover today.

 

[23Zone]

At the end of the day the problem is they consistently play with out discipline

Maybe they are done.

60 minute game and we do not look terrible when things are actually settled down. Hiltz as a decoy keeps a 3 poles at the attack, but not sure how much it helps us overall. If Thomson is truly healthy we should have him out there more. Would help a lots with fatigue down the stretch.

Make the adjustments in transition is the most important thing right now. Some of this slop from guys is out of the coaches hands, but you need to have a plan to address the looks they are getting in unsettled situations!

No he hasn't but he is the head coach the lack of discipline and dumb offsides have been an issue his entire tenure. For a team with final four aspirations this team has really underperformed

 

[tbonezone]

two quarters and just 8 shots on goal.mccool at least keeping it close.

This. Just too many pieces for this crap. Offense is stagnant

I’ve watched every game. They’re not as talented as some might think. That was clearly evident against Cornell. Team lacks an elite dodger and some of the heralded recruits have games where don’t show.

Somebody has to answer. The talent is there. There’s no more roster excuses. Buck up and win games. I wouldn’t be as upset if Duke was flat out-playing us. But the case

 

[cuselaxss26]

Said we would need to win the groundball game not sure what it is but know duke is killing us in it. Have to play mistake free this half n out play duke if wanna get this win. Team really needs to pull their heads out their butts n stop making poor choices n not hustling. Seen to many times guys jogging to run for shot going out bounds. Need to hustle every play. Gotta get the gbs n make the plays.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I blame the blue "Otto" helmets.

 

[orangecuse]

Tru dat! Another perfect example is down 3-0 English at the door step does a stupid between the legs shot that missed. As Quint said, just not the time to take such a shot, especially when he had time to take a much higher percentage shot.

Quint is spot on about SU show boating too much at inappropriate times and being undisciplined. Which Jeremy, on many occasions, unfortunately has painfully pointed out as well.

 

[DMVCuseLax]

Game over.

Only way they learn is getting absolutely beat down. That goes for coaches and players. Keep starting games like this and you need to get pulverized.
