Message: [QUOTE="Cuse All-In, post: 4626454, member: 8149"] Looking at stats by quarter yesterday, the face-offs and shots jump off the page. The numbers were pretty even through 3 qtrs and then the wheels fell off. While there may be concerns about coaching, defense etc., I think losing 9 of 11 face-offs was THE game. You change those numbers to a 50/50 split and Cuse could have kept it close. With face-offs in our favour, I can't see us losing given the effectiveness of the offense. It's a shame because ND's defense is not as strong as most thought and was exposed the week before by UVA. Entenmann has benefitted from the strong D in the past but looked rather ordinary against our offense. At least Princeton doesn't have an elite fogo! Better statistically than Cuse but Cuse has had tougher opponents so maybe equally weak. Princeton goalie Gianforcaro has played quite well and was a very highly rated recruit from Culver. [/QUOTE]
