No. 9 Men’s Lacrosse Wraps Regular Season at No. 19 Ohio State / Saturday 4pm - On BTN

[AreYouNUTS]

We look awful so far; bottom line.

 

[Caliknight]

We just aren't flowing at all. We might have to go with Pless at the face. Concede it and hope to take it away.

We are getting destroyed so far.

So freakin frustrating.

 

[ClassOf02]

Well, defense & Edelman seem to be keeping us in it. Hopefully we find our game.

 

[Scarlet83]

Rum to calm me the f down. Damn.

 

[Caliknight]

We'd be down 5 if not for Max. Just can't win this way. Brian is going to have a fit at half time. How many shots do we have?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

FINALLY!!!

 

[koleszar]

They're you go. Now clean up the clear outs and stop turning it over damn it. 3-2

Another face off lost get the fvcking ground ball.

 

[Scarlet83]

Rum to calm me the f down. Damn.

Wwoooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[rufeelinit]

Nice play by pleas. Now win a damn face off.

 

[Rutgers83]

Woot! nice D and transition score.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Rum to calm me the f down. Damn.

Headed out at halftime lol

 

[Caliknight]

Win some damn faceoffs!

 

[Scarlet83]

They're you go. Now clean up the clear outs and stop turning it over damn it. 3-2

Pless to Jules to Coyne to the back of the freakin net!!!

 

[RUTrack94]

Nice! RU scores and it’s 3-2 ... as soon as I thought it isn’t so bad if RU loses cause PSU will be out and then BAMM ... GOAL!!!!!!!

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Ughh

 

[rufeelinit]

Can’t score without the ball. Time of possession must be very one sided. OSU playing a pretty deliberate style.

 

[koleszar]

Whatever we're teaching on faceoffs completely sucks or our faceoff guys absolutely blow. This dominance has now reached 8 to 0. Get friggin pissed off and fight tooth and nail for that sucker. These guys should be made to take a Greyhound bus home.

 

[Rutgers83]

I expect a run here. THIS IS OUR TIME!

 

[RUTrack94]

Based on the history seen over the years with RU I hate that feeling that RU will lose, OSU will win the tourney, and OSU,MD, and JHU make it to the tourney. Really hope I’m wrong and we see a different script.

 

[RickB113]

The face offs are ridiculous. How can we be that bad???

 

[rufeelinit]

So much harder to go on a run without winning face offs.

 

[Caliknight]

Gotta win the groundball battle. OSU taking the air out of the ball is killing our flow.

Our D is going to be gassed at the end of the game.

 

[koleszar]

How the hell are we only down 4-3. Now the refs decide to get involved and we almost had a faceoff win. Bullshit call didn't even touch him.

 

[RUonBrain]

I’m not a lacrosse guy, but to me, the whole idea of a faceoff after every goal is stupid.

What other sport does that?

Basketball?
No

Football?
No

Soccer?
No

Hockey?
Yes

Well, I guess I surprised myself with the hockey answer.
But in hockey, losing the face off after a goal is not that big of deal (it is in the zone).

Can’t they restart in a different way after a goal?
Like other team gets possession?

 

[rufeelinit]

Just can’t get any sustained momentum going

 

[Caliknight]

Bullshit call. Watch for that guy- Syracuse grad.

 

[Rutgers83]

Yeah the comment was not much there but oh well. Such BS.

 

[Caliknight]

Worst half I have seen from us for maybe the season.

Only down 1. That's a win.

 

[Rutgers83]

We need to pour it on in third. 4th is not our qtr.

 

[RUTrack94]

Worst half I have seen from us for maybe the season.

Only down 1. That's a win.

Agreed ... horrible half ... but only down 1. Prefer the win, but even if a loss, keep it close and The bright side no more PSU.

 

[herdof3]

That was ugly. Only down 1

 

[Scarlet83]

Headed out at halftime lol

Curious. Are you going to a bar to see the game, or heading out to get some good stuff and come back home to watch? Either way, root us on, brother!

 

[Scarlet83]

Bullshit call. Watch for that guy- Syracuse grad.

Tundra University hands out degrees to shitty Lax referees?

 

[Caliknight]

Forget not having Penn st. in. Let's win this game. It's not about them. And frankly, I'd rather play them in the final than this OSU team.

 

[Scarlet83]

That was ugly. Only down 1

Yup. We played great D. And we played more great D.

 

[Caliknight]

Hats off to our D. When I say worst half, I mean faceoffs really. Our D keeping them to 4 goals with all of that possession time is a great effort.

 

[Foads]

How did OSU not get one shot clock put on them and we get one late in the 2nd quarter? The refs are not good.

 

[Caliknight]

10 shots in the half. If we aren't winning faceoffs, we are going to have to press out and try and create turnovers, leaving us vulnerable.

 

[Scarlet83]

Hats off to our D. When I say worst half, I mean faceoffs really. Our D keeping them to 4 goals with all of that possession time is a great effort.

I know you get that. I am crazy frustrated with our FO and EMO. Those aspects of the game put so much pressure on the rest of our game.

I really want these awesome seniors to make a big run in the NCAAs. We have the talent.
