Jocularities

26, what a doof

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Once again a play to start the game dictated the entire course of the game. Down 2-0 Anderson was wide open with no one within several yards of him right in front of goal and he missed.

I don't feel bad for this team, it's all their own doing.

Two goal swing when we got called for the phantom offsides.

 

[PhatOrange]

Syracuse got bullied today. Embarrassing showing.

"Enjoy your plane ride home ladies". That's what Duke fans are saying about this team. Maybe this team will play for pride some time. Doubt it.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

At least we get an RPI boost.

Final 7-11

 

[DMVCuseLax]

Fig was lights out. Should have covered him last year.

 

[nocohalo]

Wow a 4 goal game that featured a 4-0 start. Again I don't feel bad for this team, if they won't learn now they won't at any point.

SU had an opportunity to play itself into a high seed. That’s lost. Now they’ll go on the road in the first round and, should they win, they’ll have to face a top seed in the quarterfinals. Tough road.

mccool and not much else. not final four caliber today.

School	Conf	Overall	Streak
Notre Dame	3-1	7-3	W2
North Carolina	2-1	9-3	L1
Syracuse	2-1	9-4	L2
Duke	1-2	10-4	W1
Virginia	0-3	6-7	W1

Notre Dame vs UPenn
Virginia vs Duke
Syracuse vs UNC

Beat UNC and we're the #1 seed.

Lose and we're either #3 or #4

Finding the ACC tourney to be meaningless. Without the AQ, it always is.

20’ without a goal in lacrosse is really something

 

[BomberOrange]

Gary needs to go. This program is a shell of its former self.

Revenue generator and RPI booster.

Kyle's POTG:

Duke's goalie Jamieson.

(Shouldn't a kid named Jamieson be playing for the Irish?

The program has been a shell of itself for more than a decade. There are actually some of the best times since that golden era. Tend to think it’s highly unlikely that we become a regular Final 4 participant. Too much parity now in the sport to set high expectations. Making the tournament now is s more reasonable expectation.

We had a pretty good Jamieson ourselves. We also have a Jameson (“Jake” Meyer) coming next year. Today’s loss coupled with WLax & football’s portal woes may have me dipping into the Jamo tonight.

Glad the Irish didn't get Cody

I think a reasonable expectation is for them to play with urgency in the beginning of the game

 

[CuseNHouse]

Hope I'm eating my words in May.. but today showed me everything I feared about this team - lack of leadership (coach and player) and lack discipline and determination - really lack of HHH - leading to disastrous results.

How many double teams did we run directly into ? How many GBs were we out hustled on ? How many passes were thrown away or jammed into bad spaces? - did we consider at some point how to address the clear Malever issue before it was too late ?

Gait is proving to be what he is ...a great past player with a ton of talent around him..but as a coach ?

It's pretty lacrosse when it's working.. but Final Four ? Not sure about that..Maybe ...but most likely the quarters ..and that's also a maybe ...

Please prove me wrong.

Trey Deere’s goals per minutes played in ACC games has to be off the charts.

Poor play in the third period has been an even bigger concern.

every acc tournament winner has made the playoffs. only occasionally has it been the difference between getting in, but often even 1 win raises the seed/path and ergo some help for going deep or even winning. it's as important as every other non-one-bid league except if you live in ann arbor.
