Anyone else feeling the Ewing Theory potential for this UNC mens lacrosse team???

they look so much better offensively today. Ball is moving, players are moving. Petro actually getting open because UA has to play defense…

I’m glad I double checked that the game was still on because the NCAA site says we lost to Albany 16-6. 🙃

Same here but I knew it wasn't right because I checked around 12:30. I knew this place would be irate if that happened. Had to pull up YouTube TV on my phone to double-check though.

Offense looked easy today but I would be careful comparing what we can do vs Alabany to what we can do vs an ACC team.

UNC - Albany reaction

No Duffy, No Problem – Petro/Raio fuel a record day for the UNC Offense, while Aasheim and Goode lead a dominant defensive effort

That’s fair, but the same style of offense is what they need. Ball movement, cutting, lots of guys touching the ball. It’s how you get Petrino open so he can take lots of good shots. W Duffy, the ball too often stops. Makes them one dimensional….

I couldn’t be certain what happens via Instagram reels. Did d00k hit 2 from just over the midfield line vs UR’s 10-man ride? Seemed the goalie messed up on what I saw but wasn’t certain if once or twice?

Duke mis-seeded IMO. If committee not going to use eye test, why have a committee?

They did. It was McGuire. SSDM, #1 pick in the PLL draft. The first may have been a bad play by the goalie, but the second was basically an empty net.

Great game, great atmosphere. Duke fans were obnoxious as hell.

Lacrosse is a!most impossible to handicap. UVa loses to a team that has never beaten them, by playing the sloppiest lacrosse they could possibly play and they had an opportunity to play for a national championship on their home field. dook beats the team that no one wanted to play in the tournament on Richmond's home field in a season where they probably didn't deserve a bid. Syracuse almost handed Yale a pass to the quarters and Yale was probably the least experienced team in the tourney. I'm guessing no one had dook or the Hoyas going to Final Four weekend, but that's what's happening. This season is as unpredictable as I've ever seen. Saturday is going to be a war. I hope Duffy is available because we're going to need him.

I heard that clearly as well. Hopefully that’s Quint speaking wishfully, something he’s proven within range even though half the reason for his success coaches for The Heels now.
The clip they played from the ACC final, during which Quint said Duffy “ tore” it, showed Duffy’s leg all wrapped up as ge played and celebrated; he appeared not in particular n fwiw. OTOH, perhaps he got his info from his friend on the staff. Who knows…. I’m just not a fan of his.

It certainly looked like a hamstring injury on the field: Non-contact leg injury, but there was no lateral cut that would suggest a knee ligament, no rolled ankle or anything like that.

I mentioned that he was "day-to-day" earlier, but it would not be the first time that such a report was fibbed for gamesmanship reasons to make the opponent prepare for all eventualities.

don’t know if that’s true but they certainly looked better. LAX is a team game and i wondered if it could be a blessing in disguise. a get one for the gipper type mentality that makes everyone step up, and the defense’s job much tougher.

I asked Claude to take a look at the past 10 seasons and find teams have played each other 3 times in a season.

I didn’t validate the answer, but according to Claude there have been four times where teams have played each other 3 times and one team won the first 2 games. The team that won the first 2 games was 1-3 in the 3rd game.
