Maybe I caught the Kavanaugh brothers in a game where they had food poisoning the previous night.

But that would not excuse their lackluster efforts regardless. I’ve never seen two players so heralded exert so little effort in a major game. I took photos for someone close to the program to show where these two were every time UVA had the ball on the offensive end.

One time, 51 walked over to the ND sideline to get a drink, while the ball was in play. At no time did I ever see either standing at the midfield line waiting for any errant ground ball. UVA’s defense did though.

I saw two players who showed almost disdain for running for out of bounds possessions.

Compounding problems, their third attackman, Taylor, taunts Nunes after a goal; c’mon dude, act like you’ve been here. Just amateur hour from ND.

I’m always willing to admit if I’m missing a critical piece of information. Mayve they did have food poisoning. Maybe the hotel fire alarm went off at 3 am.

But I can’t tell you how much that attack can make a casual fan dislike the team; I wanted to cheer for ND, I ended up happier for the favorite.

Either get at it, or quit. Let players who want to hustle play. Corrigan didn’t seize any opportunity yesterday to teach a lesson to his team, and so the culture is weakened.

Pathetic.

As much as you have been to Charlottesville for games this year and can contrast coaching styles & players of Lars and Corrigan, am mildly surprised, you aren't rooting for Virginia except when playing your Cuse.

Finster, respectfully, you've got to give much credit to Saustad and Kology for slapping the KBros a very pedestrian performance.

since the over and back rule, have my attack staying below the restraining box. any thru ball with enough speed makes it to midline before any d man could get upfield to knock it back. takes that risk away and it's automatically our ball.

i'd be expecting a pm from carc if i were you.

UVA last regular season game and no acc tourney. 1st playoff game for them always comes after a layoff, if Im Cavs I want to play next week while Nunes is on a roll and the D is in sync which hasnt always been the case. UVA chances are as good as any for chip but still dont trust them on that end especially against a team ie Duke who have o players who knock them off.Shelleneberger also appears to still be hindered some whether its his legs or shoulder . His passing and vision is there and they have weapons but he needs to be close to 100% . Short break hopefully helps him.,

As far as ND, keep hearing how this is the best in years . Offense has more but defense has less imo. They need their share of possessions against the top five and their fogois are not a particular strength. Ill reserve comment on Corrigan other to say that he hasn't won the big game over many long years despite having several very good teams .

In a game where UVA didn't shoot particularly well, Nunes stole a number of goals. Normally, if UVA misses that many shots, ND wins. Just wasn't there day.

The ND taunting was far more than that goal. Haven't seen a team talk that much trash since 2019 UNC. As some of you may remember, that UNC team had a real chance to win the championship.

With all due respect, are you looking at the same team we general lax fans are? The ND defense is the #1 adjusted team defense in the country. They have a plus 5 ratio (avg between goals for and against vs their opponents), just held the #1 offense in the country to its lowest output. They do not have the "names" of ND past but I would argue your sentiment. They are also playing alot of defense with the FO deficit of this team. Which in my opinion, is their achilles heel. You wont win in May by FO at 38%.
