He made the saves that counted against Syracuse but was pretty ordinary early in the game. AA means nothing against inferior competition. Krieg is going to be a 4 year ACC starter- already showing his stuff.Comeonman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 7:10 pm I agree that Adler is the better goalie. He’s elite, already an AA. Kreig is good and will get his eventually, but I don’t see him going over 50% in this game. Adler probably won’t either. In terms of D, Bowen is indeed excellent, but no one can check Sowers. He’ll have at least 5 points. So will Gray for that matter, whether JT covers him or not. UNC has the best first midfield in the country. Yes, Carc and Anish, even better than Cuse’s. But Duke is deeper there, where they can run three lines easily. It could come down to possession. I like the two headed UNC unit, while the Duke frosh is great. Barnburner regardless.
mean Adler didn’t do well against some real good teams,
he’s had some great games against top teams,
one of his best was against Penn last year.
St. Joe’s doesn’t exactly get a regular dose of
B1G Ivies ACC.
Krieg had a good game also.Goalies

Yes you did, you movie loving psychic, and it led to no one being able to break down their man in the fourth quarter as well as more end game sloppiness than one might have expected (though the game had a good deal of slop throughout I imagine as a result of the intensity and pace the teams tried to maintain). A fun game to watch nonetheless. I was surprised at the phenomenal job Macri did shutting down Sowers.
undeniably. I felt like both teams proved they were the top two teams in the nation and announced... Who can hang with us? MD, UVA, SU...? In theory, Lehigh, Navy...? All TBD. But, while watching the game, I couldn't help but think that these are the two leading the peloton and... Who can keep up...
Two obviously good teams, but for an OT game, I found it kinda flat. I kinda think UMd is better than either . . . . but who knows at this point.Matnum PI wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 11:24 pmundeniably.

It was very well played. It just was a defensive battle. Gotta give credit where credit is due.nyjay wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 11:28 pm Close game, but not a great one. Didn't think it was all that well played (goalies excepted, both of whom were excellent). Really good defensive game plan from Carolina, though. Sowers had some good looks, but was fairly anonymous overall. Gray was too. Obviously hard fought, but I was hoping for something more compelling (yes, yes, I know it went to OT) and fun. These two teams are clearly evenly matched. Can't wait to see one of them play the UMd in the tourney.
It certainly was well-played defensively, but (again goalies aside) there weren't a ton of spectacular defensive plays (CTs, etc). It's fair to say that neither D made very many mistakes and played really good defensive team lacrosse with very good defensive game plans. That said, I really don't think either offense played all that well. And the long dry spell from UNC sapped a lot of energy and excitement from the game.rolldodge wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 11:35 pmIt was very well played. It just was a defensive battle.
