Cornell lacrosse 2019

[billhoward]

Albany, with Nanticoke back, just lost at home to UMass, 14-8. And Albany was owned on faceoffs, winning just 7 of 26. And UMass was owned on faceoffs against Yale by Ierlan ...

Not sure what your point is. I'd be willing to bet anyone on this board that Yale's Ierlan will own us on the faceoff when we play them.

We don't need to bring UMass into the discussion to know that. When you're already at a limit, transitive properties are no longer relevant.

Maybe he's showing that with some experience, coaching and/or a strategy change faceoff stats can be improved.

I don't believe the Nanticoke suspension was catching a break.  When he plays, the ball doesn't move that well - he tends to keep it and go mano a mano.  This makes him susceptible to doubles from his blind side and turnovers.  I suspect our defense prepped for him all week, and when Albany held him out of the game they had to adjust to a modified Albany offensive plan.  That actually worked in Albany's favor. It might be worthwhile for Albany to consider working that "Plan B" offense more early on in games, and then, when the defense tires, unleash Nanticoke's strength and skills on a gassed defense.

Because the Cornell D prepped to contain the potential damage an 80-point scorer could do, and then when he wasn't there, Cornell was at a disadvantage?

giving up 11 in almost 50 min was fine.. it was giving 5 in the last 10 min that was bad..  kind like the lehigh game in reverse

Hardly. I've seen a lot of their games live and I'm kinda familiar with how defenses prepare and scheme. Their game is different when he's in.  More one on one bull dodges to the net and coming around from behind.  Less shots coming from the midfield.  There's only one ball and it often gets stuck in his stick when hes in.  See if you can find an archive of their Syracuse game.  Or their game Tuesday vs UMass who spanked them on their own field.

I wonder who had a talk with athletics

Raining during Towson game.  Players splash as they run. May have stopped raining as some on the sidelines have their hoods down on the rain jackets.

Cornell apparently told the organizers, "We want video in the worst way."

Video now showing pre-game warmups for Towson-JU game.  Not a good sign.

I had to download the periscope app and watch it on my iPad. Although there has not been a lot good to see so far.

it's on pscp.tv.  Two Cornell possessions and two throwaways.

Been as big a defender of Bullen as there is, but it's time to put Ierlan in.
