Message: [QUOTE="laxobserver, post: 3708893, member: 7745"] What puts Syracuse in a tier above Georgetown? Georgetown is better defensively, just as strong in the cage, and their faceoff guy had a better % than the Phaup/Varello combo last year. Syracuse might have a deeper offense, but it's pretty close there too. They averaged 0.1 more goals per game. Georgetown's offense was more efficient on a per possession basis. I am not picking Georgetown to make the Final Four but the evidence that Syracuse (or UNC or UVA for that matter) are obviously a better team is thin. I do think Duke and Maryland may be a cut above just based purely on depth, which is going to matter a whole lot this year. [/QUOTE]
