[I][B]Fact[/B]: Syracuse (8-1) has won five consecutive one-goal games. It has played in seven one-goal games this season.

[B]Opinion[/B]: Syracuse has stockpiled quality wins and will be a high seed once the NCAA tournament arrives. But its slow tempo is concerning, and goalie Evan Molloy is making saves at a 48 percent rate. Syracuse ranks 66th of 71 teams in pace of play. No Orange team has ever played at a slower pace. While I respect its defense, it's far too reliant on playmakers Sergio Salcido and Nick Mariano in half-field sets.

[B]Fact[/B]: Syracuse leads the nation in average attendance, attracting 4,736 fans per game in the temperature-controlled Carrier Dome.

[B]Opinion[/B]: Michigan (8-2) averages 618 fans while playing in a building that holds 109,901. Rutgers averages 1,100 fans in a 52,000-seat football stadium. Ohio State averages 1,000 fans in the 110,000 seat Horseshoe. Maryland averages more than 48,000 empty seats when it plays at home. The Big Ten needs to invest in smaller lacrosse-only facilities. Bigger isn't always better.[/I]
