A win at Army and you can argue you belong in the tourney at the end of the year.
 
Army WON FO
Army shot missess
Army WON ground ball
Army shot misses
Army WON ground ball

Army WON ground ball
Army shot blocked
RU WON ground ball

....is how the period ended I think. SMDH!!!
 
That's pretty much game then with only 3 mins. left. Since there's no shot clock until the refs decide so, they can burn a lot of time. This kills the sport they need a shot clock there's no way to come back. See what the Army coach did, he took a time out to extend the institution of a shot clock. RU really hasn't been playing well all year so far. We got the wins but those weren't great teams.

Proud of the team for fighting back to tie .... just wasn’t their day ... one day we’ll see one of our teams win a road game against a ranked oppponent ... still no losses in B1G.

Shouldn't have gone down 5-1 & had to claw so far back. This isn't going to do it.

"Proud"? Okay...but:

- never should have let them get up 5-1
- never should go 20-minutes in 1st half, then 12 in 3rd period (?? I think...), without a single goal because we're...

....getting beat to EVERY ground ball and losing EVERY face=off. This team did NOT play well today, period, IMHO. You know what you're getting from ANY Cadet team, especially in sports such as football and lax, but we were NOT ready, bottom line, and that simply isn't acceptable from a team loaded with guys who have a shit-ton of experience at this point.

Maybe not a "bad loss" per say, however, it's gonna bit us in the ass. MARK...MY...WORD.I hope I'm wrong but we've seen this story way too many times.

The good Ole Boy committee will use this loss if they can to keep us out. Just like last year even though we beat Army head to head they said Army was the 1st team left out of the NCAA tournament. We were 10-4 with 4 top20 wins.

We're going to have to put up one helluva resume after this one to get in and overcome their bias. Actually we'll need quite a few upsets as RU is going to drop quite a bit in the rankings after this one.

Well, at least this year the staff won’t have to worry about focus because the boys are ranked #1. Disappointed in how sloppy the team looked but maybe Army had something to do with that. Run and shoot chaos just isn’t going to beat a service academy’s discipline ... or a Top 15 program.

Lots of things to work on but losing at West Point isn’t the end of the season.

We shouldn’t drop much objectively but you’re right that we probably will.

Couple missed chances, couple forced shots, and some lucky bounces armies way equated to a loss.

I would be shocked if we don't. Now if our name was John Hopkins, Duke or UNCheat we could go on a 3 game losing streak and only fall 3 or 4 places.
 
Cuse and Hopkins got murdered today. Yale lost to Nova. Losing sucks but this isn't like losing to freaking Delaware. Army is a legitimate Top 10 team.

It's HOW we lost. Like I said above you know EXACTLY what you're going to get out of Army yet we let them do EXACTLY that to us almost the entire game. No bueno. Playing like this is NOT going to get us to PMS-achutesess (or however you spell that state's name...) come MDW!!!

We didnt look great in either of the two wins. Nobody should be surprised by today. RU is a good team no doubt but was probably a bit overrated
