ACC Mashup Following Conference Play; Heading Into Tournament Games

April 28, 2014

Just a short month ago, Syracuse sat at 4-3 overall and 0-3 in the ACC. Their scoring margin was -6 but that reasonable statistic does not show the magnitude of the 16-8 loss to Maryland, 17-12 loss to Virginia and 21-7 loss to Duke. I’ve watched a lot of lacrosse in my life and I can definitively say that Maryland-SU and Duke-SU games easily top my list of the two…

Virginia – 9 Notre Dame – 18 The Fighting Irish came out with a very mobile and inclusive offense full of assists, offensive rotation and off-ball movement. They…

Chamberlain: Beware of the Ides of March

March 13, 2014

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March   #3 Johns Hopkins vs #10 Syracuse I like ‘Cuse to defeat Johns Hopkins in this contest. While the Orange has struggled on faceoffs, they are still an elite program that is still working out its lineup. Each week this team continue to improve and on Saturday, Randy Staats, Dylan Donohue and Kevin Rice will give the Hopkins defense fits. I’m calling for a big day for the Orange vs….
