As Extreme noted the GB stat is misleading due to the horrific issues we have at the X.  SU is usually a pretty good groundball team, I wouldnt put to much worry into that. 
 
The X has been issue since Brennan and has somehow gotten worse the past few years.  Daddio is now a complete disaster and while Paduda can much it up, the next draw he wins to himself will be his first, ditto for Conroy who lays on the ground for christ sake.
 
As I posted in another thread the entire Faceoff group needs an overhaul.  We need at least two fresh faces at the X and all new wing personnel.  Lost in how bad are faceoffs guys were was how bad we were at the wings.  We must have tried at least a dozen different guys there this year and not one could consitently scoop a groundball outside of Harris.  In fact it was Jenkins horrific attempt to pick up a GB off a faceoff that led to the winning Hobart goal.
 
A lot of these X guys are moving toward teh Massa technique of winning the ball in the back of the stick and then flipping it to themselves or a teammate.  Theres zero chance of the NCAA outlawing that for at least another year as the rules committe doesn't meet this summer.  Desko and the rest of the staff are really going to need to pound the pavement this summer and find at least 1 new faceoff guy to bring in or were going to continue to have major issues winning another Title.
