Cornell lacrosse 2022

[Al DeFlorio]

Is there some kind of poetic justice that Cornell's tying goal came with four seconds left on the shot clock?

Paul Carcaterra interviews Connor Buczek for 50min on his podcast. Worth a listen (and I'm someone who never listens to podcasts ...)

beat army and then at least win one of the last 2.  

I think then, no matter what we probably get into the NCAAs at 12-3 at the worst.

Win out and you may be a 2-3-4 seed. Try to get seeded to avoid Maryland I think is the goal right now.

Same here. I listened last night, and my already great impression of Buczek was only elevated. He was smart, humble, insightful, and charming. I'm confident the program is in great hands for a long time.

Agreed. It sounds like we have a great young coach (not yet 30) with a lot of energy, knowledge, and maturity. From his playing days in college and in the pros, he must garner immediate respect from the players. He's also a Cornell guy, through and through. We're lucky things turned out the way they did.

Also grudging respect to the interview by the Syracuse guy. Good questions, although I wish he had asked about Xs and Os, or about things like strengths/weaknesses of the current offenses and defenses.

IL midseason "freshman" impact ratings have Kirst #1 and Kelleher #7:

It was indeed a thing of beauty, but my guess is that it was not scripted at that level. Kirst looks to me like he's just moving the ball on because he was stymied at GLE, and then Coyle is just moving it on, and then Kelleher sees an opportunity to shoot because no defender is on him.

Either way, scripted or just heads-up play, it was a fantastic end to the game.

With 1:18 in regulation in the timeout, Pietro told the Syracuse D in the huddle to double CJ. They did. I have to think the Cornell coaches saw that and took advantage of it in overtime.

[mike1960]

Hoping for a non-stressful win today, but Army is really good.

[Al DeFlorio]

Brown routing Yale 19-11 late.

[mike1960]

I wish we were more aggressive on our shots. It's as if we are trying to run down the clock and have time for just one shot.

[Al DeFlorio]

Another awful start down 4-0.  Three possessions all resulted in rushed shots with less than 10 on the shot clock.

[Al DeFlorio]

Army shooters getting a lot of room and Ierlan continues to go down on shots.

[mike1960]

We're not doing a great job getting out to the shooters at 12 yards.

Have we won a faceoff yet?

[Ken711]

Must be they haven't come down from the high of their Syracuse win.  Oh well.

[mike1960]

Yep, keeping looking for the cutter on the crease!
