Would also like to see Hoyas push more in transition like they did vs Hopkins and Penn. One great Mazzone goal yesterday on the break but seems more often lately we slow it down to play 6V6. Think run and gun when it’s there fits the Hoyas skill set well and should take those opportunities more ofte...

When they Invert Hess or Trippi when have a ssdm matchup, slide Morin to the wing and get him ball if nothing natural for the X ball handler. I bet he does far better from that starting spot than X.

Complete game from Hoyas. Looked sharp and cleaned up a lot of last week’s issues. Although my concerns around attack behind GLE are the same it’s tough for me to continue to argue to move Trippi after his performance above the cage today. Loved seeing Macleod and Thompson getting time and putting u...

I hear you but that philosophy basically says teams should schedule down as you and other pollsters are massively discounting losses to good teams. Nova to me is another example. I get their resume isn’t great but they are a tough team and I guarantee that manifests itself when Big East play starts...

I am not an ND Fan but interesting to me that a team that loses in good games to our Forum’s 1 5 and 7 is ranked so low. I am an eye test guy granted but have to think their resume, and I am considering their record, is still better than ranking. I would bet teams a few slots in front of them would ...

What am I missing on Jacksonville? Definitely great to see them doing well but their wins and losses all to teams behind them yet the National polls agree with you Rolldodge. So my poll will be an outlier i guess in terms of the Dolphins. And no disrespect to them, I just don’t see their overall res...

Fair enough!

Curious on Penn vs Georgetown JW. Georgetown lost to your number 4 Princeton and beat your number 5, Penn head to head. also beat your #18 ND as well as Hopkins and a good Richmond team. Penn lost to your number 7, Georgetown -and beat your #14 Duke (who seems high after the Loyola loss) and beat PS...

One man band was a reference to a dependence on midfield scoring not individual stats. Nova had Penn beat and great finish by Penn to win it. Denver Yale close. Big East may be a tougher grind than many have thought. Hoyas should be up to the task and if they balance the offense and clean up off bal...

That is basically my point. That formula just won’t work in May. This is a great team and they have enormous talent but one man bands don’t play on MDW. Need to think out of the box and take a chance on a different formula if want to go deep.

I’m just not sure what you do if you don’t have that guy to attack from behind? 5-1 start after that schedule I think everyone takes and runs Put Trippi back there against Utah and let’s see what happens. Keeping the offense running solely from up top might still lead to a nice record but it won’t ...

Run into a hot goalie and or tough zone in May and that’s a major problem. I think there are things staff can do to help the attack element. Hopefully it happens.

I totally agree it was good to win vs a tough team. My concern is that since halftime vs ND (exclude MSM) this does not look like the same team to me. My concerns are as I stated above. If you look at how UVA, UNC, UMD attack from X, score inside and outside that is the offensive balance you need to...

If any Hoya backers think this is a final four contender At this point i’d love to hear why. That was flat out ugly. And I realize the weather but there are so many non weather related issues to be concerned about. Intensity remains oddly low. Off ball defense continues to be a major issue. The offe...

The narrative that the IVY might have a down year is officially dead.

If last night’s UVA UNC game had one takeaway for the Hoyas it is the intensity level has to ratchet up dramatically. Even comparing that game to our ND game it wasn’t close. Talent you can’t necessarily control in season, intensity and will to win you certainly can. Good test tomorrow at Richmond. ...

Richmond has lost two games. UNC by 4 and Duke by 6. I am sure Saturday was a wakeup call for the Hoyas and would imagine Monday and Tuesday practices and film were no picnic. This is a big game for Georgetown to show last week was a one off dud (against a very good team granted). The Spiders are a ...

We need a computer to figure that out?

I had Princeton higher this week so we agree, sort of
