QF #2 Duke vs #7 Maryland Saturday 2:30

[Laxitup21]

It’s time for Danowski to go. That offense Duke had was pitiful. It’s like only 2 people had the green light to ever truly go.

You had a dodger and a measley throwback, rise, wash and repeat as their o

Probably a hard decision to make but surprised they stuck with Naso as long as they did with Weinerman dominating and Girard performing well recently.

Ultimately, you are know for May and Duke struck out big time with O’Neill.

If I was coach of this team, Macadorey would have been the right wing at attack and Dyson Williams would be playing crease only coming out of the box.

Duke offense went full club lacrosse. Outside of dodge past the guy in front of you, it was hard to see a plan. ONeill is ONeill, he came in a great scorer and left a great scorer. Hasn’t added much to his game. MacAdorey is the same guy we saw as a freshmen. That might be the biggest knock on the Duke staff

I agree. I think the main issue was Oniell and Dyson Williams provide the same trait, they are scorers and lefty’s. Both do not quarterback a team at all. That’s no knock on them, they are incredible players obviously but I always found that to be an awkward overlap.

I would have made Dyson a designated crease guy because of this. Him on the LW never made sense with Brennan. It shows vs the good teams.

Macadorey is a good player but they have him playing all over the place. Him vs Cuse in ACCt was his best game and at attack.

Regardless of scheme, Duke, like UNC, lack multiple inside box guys. Dyson obviously can finish but besides that it’s an open O that rely on middies to out run their man, again, hard vs top teams.

Never really had the second QB or ball movement inside to make this o work. O Neil could have spent more time inside as well to throw them off. They all camped out in their natural spot, which they all excelled at, but never was able to throw in the wrinkles vs the good teams

Can we talk about how wild it will be if UMD and UVA face off in the final four? Both teams were controversial picks just to make the tourney, and one will be in the championship in that scenario

Apparently you don’t recall when Notre Dame got in over Georgetown and went to the finals despite being very mediocre in the reg season. That was more controversial than them being not selected in 22. GT should’ve got that last At large

No I don’t the game wasn’t as easy to stream back then so that’s my excuse not remembering. But I’m not surprised it’s happened before with only an 18 team tourney. My point is more so giving credit to the coaching staffs off UVA and UMD for turning it around after struggling at points in the year. Just a reminder of why this game is as awesome as it is. If you get hot at the right time, anything can happen!

Well that’s the thing everyone’s slobbering over entemanns “crumb cake” but seem to have forgot the beast (literally I’m not sure if he’s all human of half rabid dog) Scott Rogers. Mid would stop your shot then come out of cage and body slam you and flex afterwards.

Qualifying
edit
Main article: 2010 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse season
Sixteen teams were selected to compete in the tournament based upon their performance during the regular season, and for some, a conference tournament.[3]
The championship teams of six conferences were granted automatic tournament berths. Five of those were based upon the results of conference tournaments. The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) did not hold a conference tournament and granted its automatic qualifier to regular season champions Denver. Conference tournament champions that automatically qualified were: Army of the Patriot League, Delaware of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Mount Saint Mary's of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), Princeton of the Ivy League, and Stony Brook of the America East Conference.[5]
The selection committee granted the other ten tournament teams at-large berths. All four Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams received at-large bids for the fourth straight year: Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Duke. Two berths were filled by the Big East Conference: Syracuse and Notre Dame. Ivy League runners-up Cornell, independent Johns Hopkins, Loyola of the ECAC, and Hofstra of the CAA were also selected.[5]
Notable teams considered to be "on the bubble" for selection, but not chosen, included Georgetown and Villanova of the Big East, Yale and Brown of the Ivy League, Drexel and UMass of the CAA.[5] The selection of some at-large teams such as Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins instead of Georgetown, which missed the tournament for the third straight season, was considered a questionable snub by some analysts.[6][7][8]

I put this in Maryland thread, but Zawaada killed Maryland in both games last year. He had 13 pts in 2 games in a different system. Michigan had him dodge from everywhere

The better coach and staff won

[keno in reno]

So the poll runs until Sunday and 2 hours after the Terps win it's still Duke 24-22 in votes. Do they still have a chance?

[Finster]

If Duke had any lax fans they'd be apoplectic right now

The stands today had maybe two handfuls of Duke fans. Maryland had not simply an entire section of supporters who made the trip, but unquestionably the top parking lot tailgate. Not sure who owns the million dollar RV with Terp flags, but that crowd knew how to party.

(Fwiw, Notre Dame seemed like it had the most Long Island supporters of all teams)

[Finster]

If anyone deserves praise today for Maryland’s win, it’s Weirman. He really dominated plus scored two crucial goals.

#1 Ajax is such a heady player. Incredibly impressive playing from him.

#7 of Maryland is essentially useless. Can barely run.

#50 defenseman started with O’Neil and kept playing O’Neil’s right side. O’Neil uses his weak hand maybe 2% of the time. I think Tillman inserted #27 to take over that job. #50 seemed lost.

Why does Maryland’s attack concede clears? There is zero effort to force a turnover. ZERO. Mind boggling.

I don’t know if Tillman out coached Danowski. I think the Maryland FOGO plus Ajax didn’t want the season to end. I saw plenty wrong with Maryland today outside those two players.

[wgdsr]

dunno, think maltz did ok. probably should've had several more if guys saw him inside, too.

Ajax's dad.

The Terps' families put up the best tailgate in college lacrosse. They're also the most welcoming people. The Final 4 tailgates are more like block parties.

See you all in Philly!

They weren't that controversial considering they were both seeded

There's nothing quite like Maryland Fans. Having lived in the state, I'll always root on the terps except against the Jays.

Dano entering late-stage Starsia coaching zone?

I didn't love what I heard from him in those (numerous) interviews with Carc throughout the season. He's been doing this for so long and winning for so long that it seems like he's lost the killer instinct. And that's reflected in his players. The body language has been bad all year for a team that lost in the finals and should have a chip on their shoulder. But they are routinely less than the sum of their parts. Feels like we are close to the end of a great run

Agreed. This has entered late Desko and Tierney territory. To not even reach the final four with that squad is malpractice I don't care how good Wierman is.

Agreed! As much as I may hate seeing my favorite team losing to Maryland, gotta appreciate how well those fans travel. And they have always been the nicest people. If they have the first game in philly, I know I’ll have to find that UMD tailgate outside the linc

Late stage stars is included a felony a year. Zero ACC wins for multiple seasons. May be directionally heading there but still a ways to go.0

TV made it look like Duke has WAY less fans - odd given that half their team played at St Anthony's 20 min away

That RV guy is a legend - first guy in lot for B1G tourney on Thursday....and they were the LATE game!

[norcalhop]

You cannot say Dino is anywhere close to the level of Breshi with wasted talent. This team was in the championship game last year.

However, Dino might be past his prime. TBD.

As for UMD, they played to win today unlike a lot of teams (aka Hopkins). UMD shot and scored while only up 1 with about 3 minutes left despite 58 seconds or so left on the shot clock. So many other teams would have tried to milk clock with about 15 seconds and only to generate a terrible shot.
