I wonder if this team is suffering a bit from burnout. This senior class has played a ton of minutes, and it's all been pretty high pressure. This program was coming off a four win season when they stepped on campus. They were supplemented over the years by some really good transfer players, but I don't think that's the same as stepping into a team with strong veteran leadership that has been on campus for a number of years. They've had a lot of their shoulders, and perhaps sometimes this season, that's gotten to them.

They've managed to go from that four win season, to a final four in three years. Most programs would take that as a huge accomplishment. But of course Syracuse has higher standards. Hopefully they can take that final step in the next few weeks. I'm not sure I understand what's going on with the defense. They started off the season strong, and McCool has been playing well these past few weeks (shouldn't have to ask your goalie to make 18 saves in a game). I think the biggest question is if Mullen can pull out of the rut that he's in. Remains to be seen.
