AccuWeather has 36 and sunny with some wind in Jamaica, NY on Saturday. Wind would blow some shots off course which could make the scores lower.
That being said its only Wednesday. You know as well as I that weather forecasts 3 days out are a crapshoot.
OSU, Army and Denver are gonna be WAY down this year in the shot clock era. RU dominates OSU last year if they had a shot clock on the whole game.
Duke will be fine, they have had early season losses like this before, it will be interesting to see if Duke starts to play faster, they certainly have the athletes to do it. I Like your confidence but, we are not Duke, we can not afford an early season misstep against St. John's. That being said I think our issues last week are fairly easy to correct and if we fix those issues and continue with the strong faceoff work we should be ok. I would love to see OSU go winless as that would mean we beat them at the SHOE.
Like a dad, I've already pointed to the Duke game last night as a friendly reminder to one player on our team...
While I hope that you are right, I think the Lafayette had an excellent plan for slowing the game down against us and for the most part it worked. They took very long possessions, on many occasions not starting their offense until there were 25 seconds left or so, they would then run their offense and look to get a shot off Their first three possessions of the game all resulted in shot clock violations, including one while man up. When they played defense they packed it in and played a lot of zone concepts which forced us to take bad shots or shots from outside our comfort zone. go back and watch the third quarter of the game, Lafayette changes their approach at the X and holds the ball and our possessions save one are short. This will be the way that slow down teams will attack the shot clock. In the first 7 minutes of the 3rd quarter Lafayette had 4 possessions and never shot the ball before 45 seconds were run off the clock and on a couple, it was more like 55. Look for this to be the game plan for St. John's as well.
Not being streamed anywhere that i can find. My son and I will be taking the trip to Jamaica NY
It is not on the ESPN3 schedule I see it on SK.com but when you go to the ESPN3 schedule it does not show Rutgers v St. John’s. It does not show any streaming coverage on Inside Lacrosse either.
