Re: Big Ten 2024

Sure looked that way yesterday. Rough one for whoever that Uva goalie is. I don't think I've ever seen a goalie pulled without making a save. Did that really happen or did it just seem that way?

Again, the stats don’t lie (though 1766 will ignore stats and go with his own narrative). Even with one goalie’s bad performance in one game, the ACC goalies are just as formidable as the B1G goalies so far this year. Time to find a new slant for why B1G games barely crack 20 goals…1766 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:21 pmSure looked that way yesterday. Rough one for whoever that Uva goalie is.

I mean the ACC talent on offense is one million times better. There is no slant. It is virtually impossible for a non ACC team to cut down the nets this year. The Big Ten doesn’t score a lot because they aren’t as talented.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:32 pmAgain, the stats don’t lie (though 1766 will ignore stats and go with his own narrative).

I think Hopkins(when healthy) and Penn State have the offenses to put up as many goals as any of the ACC’s. For whatever reason when B1G 10 plays each other, like football for the most part, it tends to be a slugfestJerrysWorld wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:41 pmI mean the ACC talent on offense is one million times better.

More pace of play than anything. It's not due to a lack of talent. Otherwise the ACC wouldn't have lost a single game against the Big 10 - yet this didnt happen did it?JerrysWorld wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:41 pmI mean the ACC talent on offense is one million times better.

ACC definitely has some more talented offenses based on recruiting rankings. ACC is pretty much an all blue blood league and Big 10 is still chasing. I think the Big 10 does have better defenses. According to Massey the defensive rankings the Big 10 has 4 of the top 10 and 2 of the top 4. The ACC has 2 of the top 4 and 3 of the top 10.JerrysWorld wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:41 pmI mean the ACC talent on offense is one million times better. There is no slant.

Take a look at each B1G team’s worst defensive performances of the season:
There is a real talent discrepancy between the conferences, it’s just not wide enough to withstand the randomness in the sport, leading to some ACC out of conference losses. None of these ACC teams are 2022 Maryland, not even close. But even that all-time team almost lost to mediocre Ohio State team on a day they didn’t show in the first half.norcalhop wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:37 amMore pace of play than anything.

the difference between the ACC and pretty much everyone else is the complete roster. You can say the IVY has better offenses or The Big 10 has better defense and its at least an interesting argument. ACC has better overall talent from special teams, offense, and defense. That is what is really hard to argue.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:42 pmThere is a real talent discrepancy between the conferences, it’s just not wide enough to withstand the randomness in the sport, leading to some ACC out of conference losses.

If you look at the DraftKings championship odds, they see the implied probably of an ACC team winning the NC is around 75%. That’s a good barometer to where I see it, likely that one of them wins it given the talent advantages, not a give in by any stretch.
Maryland was 1 goal off their highest output against Syracuse and Hopkins highest goal total was against Uva so that goes both ways.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:34 pmTake a look at each B1G team’s worst defensive performances of the season:

See the pattern? Offenses outside the B1G are putting up high goal totals against these vaunted B1G defenses.
Yup, agree with all of this.coda wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:47 pmthe difference between the ACC and pretty much everyone else is the complete roster.

I have read that English is out for the season and Melendez still has large ankle braces on, so your caveat is a big one.masondixonlax wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:45 pmI think Hopkins(when healthy) and Penn State have the offenses to put up as many goals as any of the ACC’s.

One would be tempted to speculate that pace of play could contribute to the higher total goal total.1766 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:55 pmMaryland was 1 goal off their highest output against Syracuse and Hopkins highest goal total was against Uva so that goes both ways.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:34 pmTake a look at each B1G team’s worst defensive performances of the season:

Pace of play definitely contributes to the higher totals, as does better offensive personnel in the ACC / Ivy.44WeWantMore wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:14 pmOne would be tempted to speculate that pace of play could contribute to the higher total goal total.1766 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:55 pmMaryland was 1 goal off their highest output against Syracuse and Hopkins highest goal total was against Uva so that goes both ways.BigTom5 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:34 pmTake a look at each B1G team’s worst defensive performances of the season:
