Loyola Greyhounds 2023

[Formerhound]

Just terrible ball control and defense. Turnover machine today. Three turnovers in last minute and a half. Defensively they were porous. Way too many open looks. Thank god for Minicus. Two straight games that Evan James didn’t show up. Play like this next week v Army and they’ll get killed.
Just not sure how this defense held MD and Hopkins to 7 and 8 goals. This is not a team that is going anywhere unless they fix things quickly. Face off, defense, turnovers, “best players” disappearing for games as well. Just can’t figure out what’s going on. James, Poitras, Kamish and Higgins are all very good players. Game in and game out one, two or three of them just don’t show up. Lindsay was awesome two weeks in a. Row and today he had 4 turnovers and was invisible offensively. Charley need to read these guys the riot act or let the freshmen takeover.

[Turnandrake]

Oh boy Minicus with 7 and Wyers and mcclough with goals bail Loyola out A win is a win But we are not putting together a solid offensive game plan

Bucknell is not a good team Watched them several times this year Not an offensive juggernaut

But Bucknell scored 13 goals mostly freshman.

Bucknell also missing to scorer Connor Davis

[Exlaxbro]

I hope the Hounds make a statement today. Bucknell is average at best but if Loyola plays to their competition then they could be in trouble.

Struggling 6-4 Wyers with a goal Bateman with two asst 3 pts in the last two games

Poor first quarter. Too many unforced turnovers, and lots of ill-advised passes inside. Defense has played well, but has gotten burned in unsettled situations.

Our ride has been effective. Surprised that Bucknell has abandoned their signature 10-man ride. I always thought that was a bad strategy against Loyola's better athletes in the past, but this year the Hounds have struggled against the 10-man.

Let's hope the offense cleans things up in the second half.

Go Hounds!

Oh, and who else wants to shoot the camera operator?

I can’t figure this team out. So good and yet so bad. I really hoped they would come off the Duke disaster and blow Bucknell out but they are lucky to get the win. And yes, Bucknell should lose just because their camera operator was horrible.

So I think it’s time to start to switch in some faces for the midfield

So I think it’s time to start to switch in some faces for the midfield

Didn’t happen last year Won’t happen this year Van arsdale has his group that he runs with and that is that And Toomey will not get involved with the offense even if it Mens righting the ship

Hopefully van arsdsle has learned from previous mistakes

What happened to that guy who was on last year who has a kid who is now a freshman on the team. Million man or something like that. He harped on midfielders all last year and he was basically shamed out of here. Guess it was because his kid was coming here. But in retrospect a lot of what he said was true. This year’s freshman are at least getting a chance to play as compared to last years.

If he were correct, then this year's sophomores would be playing a lot. From what we've seen so far, this year's freshman class is far more talented than last year's freshman class. This year's freshman are playing because they are better. So, no, what he said wasn't true.

We've played a lot a faces in both the midfield and attack. McColloch started yesterday in place of Haberman. I don't think the problem is playing more faces. We just need to value possession more and clean up the sloppy turnovers. When we're not winning faceoffs, we can't afford to throw the ball away so much. I'd really like to know what has happened to James. He doesn't seem to be himself lately.

Very true about this years freshmen. From last year’s s class only Roman has produced. Would like to see what Mcgorry would do but I heard he’s out for the year with a knee injury. Same with Sullivan.
James just seems disinterested the last two games. No dodging. No jump. Maybe he’s also hurt.

Truth

[TheBigIguana]

Just wild how good this team can look at its best and how clueless at their worst. Minicus is crazy good and was the only one who played 60 minutes.

Still a win is a win. You don't have to put a bad loss on the record and that means your still on track to host a playoff game. It'll annoy some folks on here but I still can't gauge Boston U until they play a decent team (Harvard on Tuesday should be interesting) so that game next week sets the Patriot League favorite at this point.

Can we truly gage Loyola? Fast start but has sputtered the last 4 Not sure how good they are

Yeah because Loyola has played competent lacrosse teams. They're 2-2 against them which means they're probably a lower top 10/upper teens level team that on their day can beat anyone but also struggle if they aren't on it.

Boston U have a garbage schedule. It's unfortuante because the garbageness of it costs the PL a chance at an at large.

[QuestionMark]

So BU has Harvard Tuesday. Yale down the road. Princeton bugged out of their game at BU late. So they're playing 5 at home, 10 on the road.

Focus on beating Army to get at least the 2nd seed in the PL.

Conner Davis plays last week and that's likely a different outcome. Consider that a fortunate break.

Good luck to the Hounds the rest of the way.

What baffles me is the sloppy play, they continue to make the same mistakes Lack of discipline and a lack of holding players accountable for the mistakes and turnovers. of I agree with your comment on James, simply a no show for games. Again if he is hurt, he is hurting the team more by playing, sit out heal, and come back and contribute.

Army will be a challenge, always physical, road game, and offense is in a state of flux. Minicus is solid, at three goals last week were in the right spot on a rebound, he will now be getting the better pole. I feel he will rise to the challange

As competitive a game as we have seen in sometime in the PL - Army has the stats this year, 'hounds have a great team and PL (+) history. I will be there and looking forward to some great action!

Totally agree. But not surprising... Comments are always the same.... Really who cares what they say or think. Hounds beat a motivated team on the road yesterday. It was a W. These guys are still bitching.

I have been wondering what happened to him. I suppose if his 4 star son was one of the middies helping the team now then he would be all over this board.
