| Syracuse's remaining schedule is no cakewalk!
| by Naptown Fan (#136419) on 3/31/07 @7:11PM | Syracuse is 3-4 right now. Here are the teams they have yet to play, in order:
Princeton
Cornell
Rutgers
Albany
UMASS
Colgate
All of these teams are very capable of beating the Orange-and yes, that includes Colgate!
All together, Syracuse has 13 games on their schedule this year. This means that, to make the tournament, they need to finish with a 7-6 record. If they do this, due to their name and schedule, I think they will make it. However, they have little margin for error.
To make the Big Dance(in lacrosse, that is), the will need to go 4-2 or better from here on.
Give me your predictions. Will they do it or not? | | | Reply to this

Cornell will manhandle them, and so will Princeton, most likely, unless 'Cuse's run n' gun offense can work some magic against Princeton's lockdown defense. As for Albany, they're undefeated so far, but I think out of Cornell, Princeton, and Albany, 'Cuse has the biggest chance of winning against Albany.

| by hvlax18 (#97931) on 3/31/07 @8:39PM | | they will lose to Princeton, Cornell and then beath Rutgers, lose to Albany, beat UMass and Colgate. But they wont make the tournament this year. its a shame to see that much offensive power and almost nothing on the defensive end. | | | Reply to this

| by shlongbong10 (#132126) on 3/31/07 @9:27PM | | Syracuse will lose to Princeton, Cornell, Albany, and UMass. UMass lost to Albany and and Loyola by like one point each game. I see no reason that they can't beat the Orange. Their is not doubt in my mind that Princeton, Cornell and Albany will easily beat the Orange, but who knows. The Orange will probably beat Rutgers and Colgate. | | | Reply to this

| Nims
| by cslax25 (#138995) on 3/31/07 @7:28PM | | wow couldnt come through in the clutch time. I also saw him go for a number of 1 handed ground balls in the 4th quarter and miss, looked kinda lacksadasical. Point blanck for the slam dunk for the tie and fake high shoot high? what are u thinking? You dont even need to fake but if you do dont shoot it where u do, an average goalie can stop that. Dissappointing for the game to come down to a blown play like that. face it was more of a stupid play on Nims part that a nice save on peaty's... | | | Reply to this

| | | nims?
| by hvlax18 (#97931) on 3/31/07 @7:35PM | | how can you possibly say that Nims cost them this game? how many shots were taken in the entire game by Syracuse? And because the guy got stuffed doesnt mean he blew them the game. And as for the fake, he was probaly trying to beat the clock. but Nims didnt cost them this game. Collucini(sp?) and the defense have been responsible for almost every loss including this one. Nims is a great player and this loss does not fall on his shoulders | | | Reply to this

| | | | I hate pointing fingers.
| by Naptown Fan (#136419) on 3/31/07 @8:31PM | | I dislike it when people point fingers at one person and/or one play as the difference in a game. Sure, Nims play didn't help. However, it did not cost them the game. Blaming one person for a loss is making lame excuses, and in the long run, it lowers your standards for the whole team. | | | Reply to this

| by cslax25 (#138995) on 3/31/07 @10:02PM | | Obviously,he didnt blow the entire game, much of that falls on the play of the D and the goalie. I am just saying I expected MUCH more from Nims, being such a high profile player. There are 5th graders who coulda stuck that goal. he didnt blow the game but you expect a big player to step up when it counts, big players make big plays in big games. I guess hes not there yet, the d sure isnt. Hopefully cuse can get their shit together and make a run at the tourny. | | | Reply to this

| by blueandorange (#162856) on 3/31/07 @10:25PM | Hopkins is mediocre at best this year
Albany has had close calls with bad teams
If Albany played Uva's schedule they would be 5-3

| | | | | Albany's success is more impressive than UVA's
| by Naptown Fan (#136419) on 3/31/07 @11:27PM | | I am not saying they are as good as UVA, but UVA is the easiest sell in the world for talent and Albany is far from it. I know I said the same think about Cornell. However, unlike Cornell, Albany has very little tradition and UVA is loaded with it. Also, Cornell is a nationally recognized school and Albany is not. Dom Starsia is the best recruiter ever, but at an easy sell like UVA, it would be a harder chore not to win than to win. | | | Reply to this

| | | | | | Best recruiter?
| by Goal Time (#142666) on 4/02/07 @4:39PM | Give me Wild Bill any day of the week. Let's look at the record:
In a 10-year stint at Brown Dom Starsia won a breath-taking 2 Ivy titles, and 0 NCAA titles.
Bill Tierney took the reins of an Ivy doormat and has now amassed 11 Ivy titles and 6 NCAA titles at Princeton. | | | Reply to this

|
| | | | | | | You are absolutely right!!
| by Naptown Fan (#136419) on 4/03/07 @2:20AM | Come to think of it, Tierney is the best lacrosse coach ever in every aspect-in recruiting, with Xs and Os, getting the most out of his talent, as a motivator, and in game preparation. The job he has done at Princeton will never be duplicated anywhere. The reason he has not done as well lately is because the admissions has cracked down.
Did you all know that, when Jim "Ace" Adams retired from Virginia in 1992, Tierney was their #1 choice to replace him. However, Tierney had a great young team at Princeton and had just won his first national title, so there was no way he was going to leave Princeton. So they went with Dom. Dom has done a fine job at UVA, but if Tierney had gone there, with his abilities and with UVA being the easiest sell in the world for top talent, he would be in double digits in national titles won, easily.
I don't know this for a fact, but I have an idea that Tierney was also Hopkins' first choice to replace Don Zimmerman in 1990. Don't forget that Tierney had recently been the defensive coach there. However, since Princeton had a breakout year that year, and since Bill had one of the top recruiting classes ever coming in, he said no. So, Hopkins went with Tony Seaman.
One must remember that, in sports, there are a lot of very good coaches out there, but there are very, very few great ones. Tierney is one of the latter.
P.S.-That recruiting class for Princeton who entered in the Fall of 1990 featured goalie Scott Bacigalupo, attackman Kevin Lowe, and midfielder Scott Reinhardt. | | | Reply to this

| by RWHawks (#143077) on 4/04/07 @12:53PM | | age hadn't stopped mike leveille before, but something got to him this year. Look at his numbers, wayyyyyy down from last year or the year before, they've still got some games left, but maybe its the age of the other attackmen and offensive midfielders that are keeping him down. Bucktooth and Leveille were the one-two punch last year and the year before, so maybe your'e right, they just need some experience. | | | Reply to this
