You’re way underestimating our defense. 6 legit D1 starters to choose from.

Are you still as confident that loyola beats Virginia now with all the reports coming out? I remember you saying “we’ll thrash Virginia and win the natty in 2020”

If the Hounds don’t beat UVA with the overpriced Hoos talent, I’m texting Charlie and suiting up for the next game. I don’t want to teach the Hounds about hunger and will, but I will if need be. Plus I hate losing bets. Let’s do this, boys!! Bring the heat!!

It is time to find a midfield that can control the ball, dodge and draw doubles and rotate the defense. We do not need bad shots, bad passes and unforced turnovers. And that is what we have seen in the first two scrimmages.
I would like to hear more about Richmond, the poster who said Kamish had three must have been there or has more info, was Richmond as doom and gloom as i heard?
I am hopeful for UVA but also a realist

Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
Predicting long afternoon in Hooville next Saturday for season opener. Hounds not firing on all cylinders yet. Way too many turnovers. Not gonna be pretty. Calling it like I see it.

Let’s compare units, I believe UVA has the better attack, and goalie. But i think our defense (both SSDM and close) is slightly better

I just dont see us generating any offense. Just because you are big or fast does not equate into a good lacrosse players. We have seen and heard that our middie lines are in disarray. Swindell, Wigley and ..... Deveraux? James, Bateman, Cain, Hueston? What remaining middies will step up and be a consistent contributor. IMO these are your creators, not your scorers, leave that to Olmstead, Lindley and Kamish ( just dont see Pridemore there yet)
Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
Don't forget that Wigley is injured.. which means the others have to really step up and produce. first midfield might be Swindell, Deveraux, Cox. 2nd midfield could be Bateman, and then a bunch of freshmen. Not too much speed there, more of finishers and step down shooters.loyola11 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 6:52 amhoundace1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 8:37 pmI really really hope that you’re right for Saturday PB...Peter Brown wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 3:55 pm

Speed really only matters in just beating the defender to then draw a slide to pass out. So if we have fast middies to create scoring chances then so be it. Obviously they can't have bad passes when this happens because UVA will make Loyola pay

Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
Matchups of units matter moreso than direct comparisons.
Attack edge UVA, but Lindley and Olmstead could take advantage of UVA inexperienced frosh.
Close edge Loyola, a growing strength that wont stop UVA attack but could contain. PUSH
MID edge UVA, missing Conrad but still have Aiken and may be deeper in scoring .
Rope edge UVA, better defensively, more aggressive and physical, Loyola mids still developing . UVA
FOGO , even , two very good fogos, would expect them to more or less split. PUSH
G, ?? know nothing about L goalie. Rode can be very good at times, loose at times . UVA
Spencer hof abilities would swing, Stover could steal game.
Good luck but dont see Hounds beating UVA this year unless attack takes full advantage and your new goalie plays really well

Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
I did hear Wigley is back and practicing, Cox has just not developed into a whole lacrosse player. Speed is great if you have stick skills, Most of the Freshman if see do not attack, they dodge the alley and avoid the contact and do not draw the doubles. Maybe that will come with expereince. But as i have harped on you cannot turn the ball over. Unforced turnovers will kill you. Shots at the goalies stick, IMO is a turnoverhoundace1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 9:29 amDon't forget that Wigley is injured.. which means the others have to really step up and produce. first midfield might be Swindell, Deveraux, Cox. 2nd midfield could be Bateman, and then a bunch of freshmen.

I believe PB said it, this team needs to be a transition team, that can run, control the stick, rotate the D and feed. If the ball is in your stick for more than 2 seconds, game over
Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
I agree with Loyola11 that shots that the goalie catches are turnovers. Is Seay not in the mix anymore?
Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
The thing that piques my interest is that Toomey said in multiple interviews and quotes from podcasts that he will put his rope unit as the best against any in the country... and that Olmstead will be a fantastic player this year. He's even harped that they're getting back to the transition play they had in 2012. Obviously the coaching staff knows more about these guys than we do, but maybe they really could pull of an upset win this season against contendersloyola11 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:33 amI did hear Wigley is back and practicing, Cox has just not developed into a whole lacrosse player.

You're combining defense and attack as one unit, which I understand, but I'd rather draw those distinctions out out way more.
Loyola's defense is much better than UVA's.
Loyola's attack is the equal if not more so than UVA's.
FOGO: I agree, a split.
LSM's: Loyola (McNulty 1st team AA this year)
SSDM's: Loyola
Middies: UVA, strictly because of Aitken
GK: edge to UVA if Rode shows up (which is no guarantee)

Re: Loyola University Lacrosse 2020
Run and gun...no Pat for settled offense, so let the boys wheel and deal (we have a ton of speed). We will get the ball a lot in transition (McNulty especially)...I'd let Olmstead and Lindley create, even if the numbers aren't on their side.
