Maryland won by 5 early in the year. Princeton had a lot of guys seeing playing time for the first time in their careers. A lot of player development has taken place since then and offensive and def rotations have been settled. Maryland won by 6. You make it seem like Princeton hadn't played anyone...

Offensive coaching turnover. This could take a few years to resolve. Tillman was lucky to find Phipps at the last minute. I think this group needs a screaming, table flipping, highly emotional coach right now. Like true middies, the team doesn’t have that. This offense had a lot of time to get read...

The turnovers are largely down to what we've talked about, there's no space on the offensive end and no one dodges with conviction, so they just force passes. You also only have 2 or 3 players who have the high level lacrosse IQ for the offense they want to run, and one of them in Malever has next ...

I think one thing that has really surprised me this year with the Terps is just how they don't seem to be great at the fundamentals. Basic passing and catching has been an issue on offense all year (lots of bad passes leading to turnovers), clearing, etc. Ground balls they've been typically Maryland...

That was such a fun game to watch as a Terps fan and utter Duke hater. Thanks, Heels!

End of game, two plays decided the difference. Watch the videos. First play is UVA up 17-16, 1.50 left. Most of UVA is ball watching…and btw, what in the universe is 44 doing? He’s going to the other end? He’ll come into focus again shortly. Is UVA really allowing a long stick defenseman to scoop u...

I actually think Spanos should be at X. While he leads the team in shooting percentage, he’s best around the cage with some shooting ability. He’s just a natural attackman, not an middie. And he’s got really good vision. Just wish he’d be more selfish (actually wish ANY of them would be). Ford is re...

My $0.02 on the Tewaaraton 2024. Pending Yale, UVA, and Cornell team tournament results, and obviously remaining individual output, today my ranking is the following: 1. Matt Brandau 2. Connor Shellenberger 3. CJ Kirst I don’t seee anyone else remotely close to these three. Nor do I see anyone else...

Any team would like either player. They're both future stars.

But the one freshman I feel is a little slept on is Princeton's Kabiri. Holy crap is that kid good.

But that's also a double edged sword. His numbers will be inflated because he's just asked to do more than Shellenberger or Kavanaugh, for example, because he has less surrounding talent right now. He's taken 20 more shots than Shellenberger, for example, and Shelly has played in one less game. Bra...

Brandau undoubtedly belongs in the Tewaraaton finals. He's been a one man show, and he's so damn good. But that's also a double edged sword. His numbers will be inflated because he's just asked to do more than Shellenberger or Kavanaugh, for example, because he has less surrounding talent right now....

UNC's motto: "Do less with more." No, they don't recruit like UVA (but no one does) and not quite to Duke, but the talent they pull in is probably 3rd overall. ND is coming on strong lately, but even their 2025 class can't match up with UNC's 2025 class. And these talented kids come to UN...

And Spanos (MP) went to Maryland...

The Kavanaughs are both undeniably talented, high effort players. They're also on the borderline of being dirty players. They're exactly the kind of kids you'd love to have on your team and you'd hate having on other teams. But what makes me despise them isn't really them. It's that the ESPN announc...

https://laxallstars.com/quint-kessenichs-top-20-april-8tt-2024/ Quint loves bashing the terps but his analysis is spot on pre shot clock dinosaur offense Without maltz terps lack any shooting, who will step up? Kelly, Murphy? Dubick or McPherson??? So many young guys not getting any runs, next year...

Reading the Diamondback wrap up of the game, this stuck out. The two-goal first quarter marked the fourth-straight game the Terps scored two of fewer goals in the opening 15 minutes. https://dbknews.com/2024/04/06/maryland-mens-lacrosse-score-recap-result-ohio-state-eric-spanos/ That's honestly unbe...

Maryland holds on 8-7. Spanos with 4 (and they poled him ), 2 pole goals, Siracusa and Erksa with the others.
