All good stuff above!

Not much more to add. Syracuse definitely has the edge, but to pull this off, they’ve got to execute cleanly in all three zones. Also, they have to get out of their own heads and play to their true caliber. There’s gotta be a PhD student at Falk itching to work with the team…

We need to own possession, win the faceoffs (middle of the field), and control every ground ball to set the tempo.

On offense, they’ve got to attack with purpose and make every shot count. Crisp ball movement (move their feet), hit their cuts, and take advantage of favorable match-ups. Protecting the ball is huge...

Defensively, they’ve got to lock it down, especially with their middies, communicate, and give McCool every chance to stand tall.

Set the pace, play physical, and push the tempo. If we play confident, smart, and like the team we know they are, we can control the game.

On a side note: weather looks kinda warm, maybe no rain, around 59°. Hopefully the field drains well and isn’t slick.

Go Cuse!
