I had a feeling this was coming.

I didn’t see much in terms of structured offense, the flow felt off, and at times the effort just wasn’t there...dude falls down at mid-line and head-down jogs, instead of sprinting back into the hole. That can’t happen.

This falls on both the players and the coaches. The “cool guy” vibe only works when you’re backing it up with disciplined, high-IQ lacrosse. This was the kind of game where, in the locker room, you go old-school — grab a guy by the facemask (2000s style), look him in the eye, and tell him to "man up". Enough with the flashy showboating. Play the game the right way.

At halftime, that’s when you demand urgency and accountability. The “Cuse swagger” is supposed to be built on toughness, fundamentals, and pride, not assumed. Right now, I just don’t see a team consistently playing to its capability, and that’s on everyone in that locker room and the coaches...

Love Gait, but the lackadaisical style seems to be rubbing off on the team a little too much.
