share your trepidation over Army game.  Yes, there are huge holes among college lacrosse leagues.  Despite the lack of meaning in the scene this year, I gave in and watched three games this weekend. Jeez, UNC, UVA and Duke were exciting to watch.  I love UNC's strategy.  Attack after turnovers, fight to get the ball back, triple if you have to, do not wait once we have possession to attack the goal, do not wait for a new middle line, even when undermanned in the offensive zone, go at the goal.  Really exciting fun lacrosse, aided I think by the new face off rules, which speed up everything, bring in the wings, prevent the usual wrestling matches.  FO's remind me of the eighties.  I noticed several so called FO violations the refs in all three games could have called but did not.

UVA seems to attempt the same strategy with more mixed results.  More aggressive lacrosse seemed  a theme in all three games.  Very few time violations from the offensive teams.  For me, every time a team takes 10 seconds to wait for new middies, the whole team lapses into a passive offense that requires them to take time accelerating into an effective attack.  Think offense while on defense.  Attack the ball...  Well, you get the idea.
