Alright, how many top D1 teams in the top five play 8 different defensemen throughout the game. Believe ME, these guys NEVER get tired and other teams aren't changing their attackmen, so when the sticks go in, they are fresh and most of the time, the attackmen are very tired. This is probably why no team has scored over nine goals and the defense averages little over six goals per game. The other thing is, who said Carolina is good? Carolina sucks. They have one good player in Sonke and the rest of them are freshmen, in addition to that, Bucknell beating Carolina was only a shock because everyone expects so much out of John Haus, and Carolina is normally a pretty big name in lacrosse. So, people are saying, where did bucknell come from, and the answer is no where because Carolina is down, way down. Watch what happens when UVa takes it to Maryland, beats them and Gtown's last game against Syracuse will feature the number one team in the country playing number two. Oh, and preseason does matter, it shows who worked harder in the offseason and now it's paying off for the hoyas.
