[JeremyCuse]

Ugh 6-4, cant get the ball

 

[Moontan]

What???
Desko might want to call a timeout here.

 

[jr4750]

Williams has to win a FO. Come on man!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Timeout SU

 

[orange79]

Looked like Molloy didn't expect that shot at all.

 

[cuseguy]

All about possessions.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Double issues right now, Williams 0 for his last 4 and UNC getting really good looks, Molloy needed to be more prepared for that last shot though.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Illegal screen against Schwasnick

 

[JeremyCuse]

Terrible call come on

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Timeout UNC

1:13

Gives SU a chance to sub out Schwasnick.

 

[JeremyCuse]

As cuseguy noted its all about possessions, this D can't hold up like the 2013 unit could, it will melt if Williams/Paduda don't win draws.

 

[JeremyCuse]

NEED A STOP

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Save Malloy.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Halftime

Syracuse 6, North Carolina 4.

It feels like Williams never wins a faceoff in a critical situation.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Good job by SU there on that last possession to make it a 2 goal lead vs 1. Don't think SU had the ball offensively the last 4 minutes. Captain obvious but we need Williams in the 2nd half to go at least .500

 

[orange79]

I'll take a repeat of the first half in the second, please

 

[JeremyCuse]

It feels like Williams never wins a faceoff in a critical situation.

He struggles in big situations its his one achilles heal. He did win the last draw but the officials called an illegal screen which was a terrible call. He and Kelly are battling to a stalemate for like 30 seconds on most draws its a crapshoot.

 

[JeremyCuse]

ND winning next would be a big help. Army winning today was already a nice boost. Army losing in the champ game though would be great.

 

[cuseguy]

When it was 6-1, looked like SU might build a sizable lead at the half. But this looks like it's going to be one or two goal game.

Wonder if it makes sense to give Williams a little rest at points of the second half??

 

[OrangeXtreme]

WLAX update

North Carolina 7, Duke 6.

SU to start approx 7:30.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Donahue makes Tewaaraton List.

Probably would be a good idea to give him a few draws off especially late in the third, early fourth.

Navy scored 3 goals against Army, Ouch......
