First of all, all G-town did was shoot from outside, all day and high. This is why Mulligan had those high saves. Also, because they shot high all day, they missed high several times and even hit the top post a few times I believe. In my opinion, if they shot low or bounced some, they would have had more goals definitely. 'Cuse shot better, as in they shot low and bounced the ball against that hard ground that G-town plays on and in-turn scored ten more goals than G-town did. Second of all, Cercy tore them a new one in face-offs and then he would just run down the middle and shoot (I know he scored at least once). They didn't pick him up enough doing that and they need help on face-offs as well, desperately it seems. Now, I'm not a fan of either team here, but I have a bone to pick with Mike Powell from 'Cuse. Now I know that he's very good and he's setting records, thats good, congrats to him. But, he's been acting his shoe size, not his age this whole season. From not shaking Hopkins hands after they upset them in the dome, to the flamboyant goal celebrations (now put to an end thank god), to the baby-like responses to being hit. For example, Colbert was all over him during the game and hit him several times. I think he got called for a high hit only once. They interviewed Powell at half-time and asked him "what did u say to colbert after he hit you" and he replied "i asked him if he was crazy". Come on, this is D-1 lacrosse here, not some sissy sport. Powell needs to grow up, suck it up and hit the weight room if he can't take the hits as they come, clean or not, its gonna happen. Whether its an inflated ego he has from 'Cuse, # 22 and/or his brothers or not, he needs to get it together or get off the field. When he asked Colbert that, he should have replied "Yea, I am crazy...for not taking you out of the game already you little pu$$y-a$$ b!@#$, this isn't high school anymore you tool." And this was after the first hit. Several more followed and Powell was visibly intimidated by Colbert. What did you guys think who saw the game ? |
