Yes the O had a couple bad turnovers at crucial times, but the defense overall was the major let down today compared to the offense. Guys were getting cooked off the dodge 1v1 and that lead to us sliding all over the place at times too. They had so many guys who were able to get a step on their matchup, especially on our short sticks. Similar to the UNC and Princeton games and somewhat similar to Duke as well. Between that and the faceoff losses we needed perfection from the O and did not get it in the second half.

Not a good time in the year for lack of confidence in the defense. The drop off after Figueras Dwan and Chuck K is starting to look pretty severe against elite competition. And we certainly cannot have the collapses off ball once people start sliding. Maybe we had some false confidence on that end after some early year performances. Would LOVE to see us use more offensive guys on the wing so spallina and McCarthy are not gassed out of their mind towards the end of the game.
