QF #4 Syracuse vs #5 Denver Sunday @ noon

[DMac]

Clamping the ball to the ground on the face off is allowed again?
Three times (at least) should've been called on Denver.

Push??? That was a 2 goal swing there.

Best game DU has played all year. Good for them.

Playing lacrosse on a football field...???
If a host school can't provide the proper field they shouldn't be allowed to host.

+1,000

Or how about at least burn off the football lines for a week?

I'm sure the NCAA would love to pay Towson $1M to replace that field, I'm sure they would. That's about the price it costs to install field turf.

Removing the football lines and repainting them might be a $25,000 expense at best.

you don’t to replace the field to cover up the football lines.

Yes. You would have to do that. The blue paint they use for lacrosse gets reapplied every week for games. The football lines use a different paint that gets reapplied once a year. Unless you mean they should paint green over the football lines.

And the best toe drag for a goal that I've seen in a looooong time. Beautiful move.

[youthathletics]

Denver just has better players on the field.

Mark Matthews made that so sexy. Who you rooting for….tough decision, no?

Both! Can't lose. Just hoping for a fun, close game.

That was a clinic in man-yo defense by Denver

[Wheels]

Denver's defense is so good. Syracuse is way into danger zone right now.

They've gotten better with each passing game.

Denver. In the interest of seeing Carc's ACC-centric brain explode.

But actually, just want to see some good play.

[Wheels]

When is Syracuse going to have a frustration penalty?

Been wondering if Gary will switch to a pressure ride, this game is being played at Denver’s pace.

[HopFan16]

Considering the opponent and situation, the Denver D is playing the game of the year.

We know Cuse can go on massive runs though, so not over

[youthathletics]

Denver's defense is so good. Syracuse is way into danger zone right now.

They've gotten better with each passing game.

Not too to mention they are faster, quicker, better stick work, and have better footwork than Cuse offense.

It’s gonna take some sexy shooting off picks by Cuse or transition goals to stay in this.

[Laxguy703]

This Denver defense matches up so well against Cuse. The Orange don’t have anyone that can beat the pios poles so they can’t draw a slide and zip the ball around like they usually do.

It’s forcing Cuse to play outside of their comfort zone.

He's gotta do something (meaning his coordinators will have to do something).

I've seen Syracuse play a lot this year. The ESPN guys keep talking about the "hyper ball movement." Against bad teams, yes. Lots of skip passes. Where Cuse really moves the well against everyone is when they're running. No transition means no ball movement. The Cuse guys all have insane stick skills and great awareness of where their teammates are. But against set defenses, their midfield is where they win actual match-ups. Not happening today.

Yeah, they're running out of time. DU is doing to SU what SU did to Duke. This has been such a weird, streaky year where it seems like every team in D1 has a game or two where they just don't ever get off the team bus to play. I can't figure out why....
