Yeah. Recruiting needs to get better. Couldn’t get a Freshman of the Year winner after a NC?
Good luck trying to find something like that out. IMO, they will all play, and compete...The players on this team are so driven. I hope they rest people, but don't think they will at all.
As of today, they are playing to win. Haven't heard anything to suggest otherwise. Virginia NEEDS this game, ND doesn't, but the Kavanaghs and Corrigan don't have "taking one off" in their DNA.
They can't get on the field, too many 4th 5th and even a 6th year guy gobbling up minutes.
You're a coach LAX....What would you do here?
Don't you think they have the 1 seed locked up?
I have no idea what the committee will do if they lose to UVA.
UVA is still #6 RPI....I really don't think it matters if ND loses...I think they have the 1 locked up. They could possibly give it to Hopkins if they win out, but I just don't see it.
I honestly could see this game coming down to which team can score more goals.
I’m conflicted. I know it’s best to not have to go through an additional couple of games against dangerous teams. The UVA defense are gigantic and potentially dangerous. Beat them and you still have another monster game coming. We’ve been fortunate with injuries to this point but I don’t trust the committee. Honestly I don’t think the seed matters anyway because this is the best team in the country. I guess we will see how it plays out but good luck getting these guys to pull back off the throttle.
For sure...You can't pull off the throttle when you're on the field.....Which is why Corrigan needs to play it wisely and put a lot of different people on the field...Give Ricciardelli, Bayman, Walker, Busenkell, etc. A LOT of reps...and I 100% sit Lynch. He's been banged up...
I do like the idea of simply running more depth at the midfield and at FO but the moment you sit Kav or any of the close defenders the team is going to take a "que" from that which is tricky to navigate.
We've got the #1 seed regardless. The question is really what value you place on the ACC tournament. Years ago, it would be ton. But it's been diminished since Maryland left and it's not a true tournament anymore.
This. After the committee hosed us out of the tournament just a few years back, I recognize the very real possibility that an early ACC exit could drop us from the #1 overall seed.
Don’t think so. There’s no one who can pass us in either strength of schedule or strength of record with two losses. Those are the criteria they are using
The argument the committee made for leaving ND out years ago was largely due to volume - we had less games on schedule and they faulted us for it. At least that was the argument they made. Those with and without tin foil hats can debate whether they truly felt that way or were biased against us and used it as a defense for keeping ND out.
Don’t see how Hopkins could pass us with the bad loss to Navy in their record but you’re not wrong… anything is possible in the hands of the “committee”…
Absolutely insane game.....Up 10 in the 4th and still have 1st line in...Just trying to prove they are that much better I guess.
