I'm just not seeing any adjustments by Loyola on offense.
Running clock? RUFKM?

That was a pretty goal for the hounds.

Hounds came crashing back to Earth today. 15 minutes left in the game and Loyola has managed only 4 goals. As seacoaster alluded to earlier, perhaps the team just wasnโt ready and/or prepared. Maybe Syracuse is just that much more talented?

Seems to me they are not making the type of quick interior passes you need in order to beat the backer: side to side, side to in, or behind to front. They have had the ball up top too much. Canโt beat a backer from up top.

I think the teams that have all of these: a fall, return a lot of experience, and athletes -- (UNC, syracuse, northwestern,ND) are going to be way ahead of everyone else at least for the first half of the season.

Exactly; they are moving the ball too slowly, and should be working cutters from the elbows with passes from 4 and 9 below or at GLE. They have the kids who can catch and shoot in tight spots; just not getting them there.

I agree. Early season is usually a little squirrelly, but this year way more than most.
Loyola has not looked good today, but that doesnโt mean to me that they canโt get it together by mid to late season.

Loyola has become positively anemic on the draw.

And Syracuse looks like it's April. This is a little crazy. 17-5?

Yep. I'd circle those two Notre Dame games in the Dome. DMac and Mrs. R.U. Effinuts should be there.

Hope so, maybe she'll save me a seat.
Was very impressed with Cuse today, don't know why the word thuggery would be used to describe their D, it was just tenacious, relentless and tireless. Very impressive. O was too, awful lot of weapons down on that end. Game one, long way to go and teams will get better with more games but that was a nice outing for the Cuse gals.
