Harvard Gameday...

Might still be a Final 4 team. Not a championship team.
Then who is, UNC barely escaped Jacksonville, Princeton got smoked by Penn State, Maryland has already lost twice, once to us, Cornell barely escaped Albany, a 1 goal loss in a road ranked game in bad weather does not end our season no matter how much y'all think it does.
 
also dwan trying to go for goal with 3 dudes on him instead giving ball to O guy to set up offense. Mullen with face off n shot that’s saved under 4 mins. These are things can’t do at end of game lead or tie game. Get it to O n set up offense. Only take it if have a clear utter lane no one near ya. Other wise give ball up.
Felt like everyone was trying to be the hero the last 5 minutes

It doesn't end our season, but if they're going to keep making the same mistakes that have cost them for 5 years it's hard to assume they won't again.

I didn’t say it ends the season. Final 4 is certainly a possibility. But save your post for May. I just don’t think this team plays smart, championship lacrosse.
 
I think perhaps the most upsetting part of this is that UNC will possibly be ranked number 1 on Monday. I might vomit 🤮
Oh they will, and yet I'm sure we are supposed to believe that the team who hasn't won a tournament game since 2021 is a national championship contender, but because we lost by 1 we suddenly arent, and that's not just this board, that's going to be the narrative for a while.
 
I was only able to catch the last few minutes, the last couple of shots by Spallina were certainly questionable. Rankings in Feb mean nothing, gotta regroup quick though don't want to be sitting at 3-3 after next weekend.

Looking at hopefully 4-2. Dont love the Princeton matchup at all. Still not sure why we scheduled that game
 
well they clearly could not handle the pressure of being 1. They all choked and panic n spallina once again want to be the hero n cost his team. Emo was bad besides rhoas two long range goals. No one beat their man. simple passes were low n not able to handle. Defense with bonehead slides n poor approaches. Clearing just awful faceoff struggled. Just bad decisions at costly times. I thought we may pull it off when got stop with min n half left. Not sure bout offsides but that was killer n once it happen knew harvard would score. Also why fake slide on dude behind net leaving guy outfront wide open on tying goal.

Just didn’t hustle for most of game n harvard did. Well they better start getting it together cause not gonna get any easier from here. Now ur in spot going vs a princeton team who gonna be tough at their home field. They should have won this game but once again they got in their own dam way. Gosh this team can make me
so mad at times.
 
Not enough winning plays. Failed to pick up loose balls. Bad shots. Letting Harvard kids repeatedly get to their strong hand. Half hearted slides. Sliding to kids going to their weak hand with no angle. Dwan repeatedly wandering down field. Joey playing hero ball. Bear playing like a plushy.

The silver lining is that Harvard is a talented well coach team. They probably had more four and five star kids out there than we did. This is probably our floor.

Yeah looking at the scores right now I'm not sure how much we can take from week to week, would have been nice to get Princeton at home though.
 
where was jake spallina today? sick hurt what? not having him ment ochoa out there more n it hurt. They gotta tell ochoa he can’t press out that far cause he don’t have foot speed to recover. So he needs to stay just above box if anything. Yes know rather get beat out there but it totally confused n messed everything up when he got beat out that far n lead to multiple goals. Also mccool 13 saves but still thought some were weak n he’s guessing little much instead of reacting. But overall the entire team played poorly. Defense , offense faceoffs wings all poor.

This is fair, I don't know what the story with Jake is, but the difference between him and Ochoa is massive,
 
Kind of early to judge but this looks like a 10-5 team and a sixth seed. Schedule is just too difficult to expect more.
 
Jake, not Joey, still a massive loss

Yeah I caught the last few minutes I saw 22 out there, I figured based on Jeremy's comment it was Jake. Hope it's nothing serious he is one of the most improved players this season I think.
