The man up unit was Staats, Rice, Donahue, Galasso, Maltz and Dejoe.  Walters was on it but got bumped late in the Albany game and appears to be in the dog house.  As PhatO pointed out the man up unit has been issue almost as long as the issues at the X.  Probably going on 4 years now we haven't been able to get any sort of consistency from the man up unit, a few years ago it was downright awful.  The problem I see is that there isnt the ball movement that other teams have on the man up.  Watch Maryland on the man up they were flinging the ball all over the place, in and out around and back etc.  We tend to play the man up like were running our regular offense trying to find a great matchup versus passing the ball around and forcing the defense to leave someone open (which is what usually happens on a successful man up).  The man up also hasnt been helped by the fact Walters had at least two terrible shots on goal and then two bad turnovers where he dropped a pass trying to shoot to quick.
 
With Galasso back in the fold I am hopeful this unit would have more success but the man up unit had two chances late in the 4th quarter against Albany and then multiple chances against Maryland and came up with Zero each time.  Desko has tried to mix in bench guys with starters which produced mediocore results but the all starter lineup is O fer the last two games.  We need much better ball movement and to keep tinkering with the lineup until we find something that works.
