Marist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago. Also beat a “hapless team” 19-7 a few games ago.. get out of here with that “low class” B.SBlueJaySince1947 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 12:25 pm Kinda low class to run up the score against a hapless team...
mmm, Tye Kurtz scored at 4:31 left in the 4th off of Mike Robinson assist...up 24-9, what were Delaware's best players doing still in the game?Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:27 pmMarist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago.

Beyond the sportsmanship issue, it’s a head scratching move when your team has to play Duke 3 days later.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:10 pmmmm, Tye Kurtz scored at 4:31 left in the 4th off of Mike Robinson assist...up 24-9, what were Delaware's best players doing still in the game?Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:27 pmMarist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago.

Seriously, Robinson had 7 goals at that point and Kurtz had 4 goals and 3 assists. What, they both needed 8 points?
I understand back-ups scoring goals in the 4th Q of a blowout, only fair to let them play full speed, but what the heck are top players doing in the game at that point?

As a Marist backer, took no issue with how UD managed the 4th Q. Not only would it would be very hypocritical to complain after Marist's MAAC tournament, but it's the tourney and DeLuca needs to prepare his team for what's to come as he sees fit - be that getting guys reps, resting them, sending a message about being placed in the play in game again, etc. It's also the nature of the game in the shot clock era.
Looking towards Sunday, anticipating a close game. My only questions about UD heading into this game are 1) how do they handle playing a team of Duke's caliber after seeing nobody close to as good since JHU almost 2 months ago? 2) Face offs. Face offs are likely UD's achilles heel, and one of Duke's strengths. If Naso is dominating, but not winning extremely cleanly, I'd consider bumping another poll up to the wings. Delaware's polls are all pretty strong off the ground and causing turnovers. If the Hockenberry - Premtaj tandem can get to 40% and Kilkeary can save 50%, would be surprised if the outcome isn't in doubt late in the 4th Q.

Interested in the comment about face offs likely being the UD achille's heel. Has freshman, Michael Straub, seen any playing time? I remember reading last year that he could be the next Luke Weirman.10stone5 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:24 pm I’ll go with the Red Fox alums take on this,

Do you have an explanation as to why the best players were still scoring goals at 4:31, up 24-9? why they were still in the game?Henpecked wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:49 pmMD laxMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:10 pmmmm, Tye Kurtz scored at 4:31 left in the 4th off of Mike Robinson assist...up 24-9, what were Delaware's best players doing still in the game?Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:27 pmMarist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago.

You are the biggest clown on this forum. The only time you pop up on Delaware thread is to badmouth DeLuca because he didn’t start your beloved son in goal at Harvard. Get over it. The other goalie was better. And get a life. All you do is post on this stupid forum 24/7. Please find another hobby.
Who knows and what does it matter? Maybe he preferred to let his players sharpen up in the scrimmage type arrangement vs. resting. It was their last appearance in Del. Statdium too and the fans really enjoy watching them play. He will have the team ready for Sunday.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 3:37 pmDo you have an explanation as to why the best players were still scoring goals at 4:31, up 24-9? why they were still in the game?Henpecked wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:49 pmMD laxMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 2:10 pmmmm, Tye Kurtz scored at 4:31 left in the 4th off of Mike Robinson assist...up 24-9, what were Delaware's best players doing still in the game?Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 1:27 pmMarist literally scored 29 goals in a game a few weeks ago.

I don't.
Happy to hear your explanation.
Note, I didn't characterize this as "low class", that was another poster.
I just don't understand the decision to have those guys playing at that point...do you?
You really want to get personal??
I've been clear, in detail, what a disaster DeLuca was at Cornell and Harvard, including the year after my son graduated. But I've also wished the Del program well, and he and his family well, hoping that whatever demons he has he figures out and handles better going forward.
But hey, everyone deserves a fourth chance. For him, Delaware.
If you want to re-hash all that, fine, but I think it's a dead horse.
So...how do you explain the starters racking up their 8th points each with just 4:31 left and up 24-9?
I don't get it, but maybe you do?
Did Marist "deserve" it because they'd done the same against someone else?
Is that the explanation?
At a minimum, I'd have thought that giving some of the other kids in the program some time would be a good thing.
BTW, this is a pretty darn good Delaware team, lots of talent, and as usual play hard. Not an easy out for anyone.
And I totally understand why that's seen positively by alums like you.
