Coaching was the difference. Letting Ray throw up contested threes early in the clock, losing Pusica (the guy who has cooked you all night) in the corner for the dagger, fouling 15 seconds into the shot clock down 6. I like Joe but he got outprepared and outcoached, plain and simple.

Iconic performance from JWF. Just make it really count with a W tomorrow.

We're watching greatness, simple as that. That's what a star does: takes over and wills the team to win.

On another note, I hope kerrywood keeps posting, seems like good juju.

Justin can't be stopped and Eli is playing with so much confidence of late that our opponents need to beware. What I like from Eli is that he can iso and make things happen when the rest of the offense was cold. Happened a few times today where no one could find a gap and Eli took it himself and go...

Something happened to JWF, hit in the face maybe, after he drove baseline and kicked the ball out...now off the court. Towson announcer didn't bother to mention it and hasn't described what could have happened at all

Dwyer was getting beat so it looks like Joe is using Trueheart as a smallball 5 to close the half.

I've been checking the r/collegebasketball forum on Reddit to see if there's any buzz--there have been a few posts that mention us as having the longest winning streak in the country, as well as an interesting post that maps out the closest county to each undefeated (in conference) team. I'd expect ...

KenPom really doesn't like Towson and actually thinks their offense (257th nationally) is better than their defense (290). We'll see if that holds true today, in theory they don't have the guys to stop JWF, Pemberton, Coburn etc. But if we go cold, coupled with their capability to get 2nd chance loo...

Nice win, offense went nuclear in the second half and Dwyer actually gave us some really good minutes when Cacok had to sit due to foul trouble. You could tell Justin was frustrated until the last few minutes, but Pemberton & co. stepped up big time.

Now it comes down to what it always came down to...Win the CAA and you're in.

That's because the ACC isn't real conference in men's lax. They only have 5 so no auto qualifier. Can actually see 5 at large from the ACC if UNC wins. Amazing that a 7 loss team gets in and a 2 loss team gets the snub Especially if the 2 loss team that's left out beat UNC... which very well could ...

Seem to be doing alright today though, all things considered. UMass is a decent team.

I think the starters just get tired...Most teams cycle in multiple lines on offense and we don't, so naturally guys get tired going against fresher legs.

Can't score on man-up and can't stop man-up. Seem exhausted. Not good.

Nice press push being done by SID lately, getting some good placements. That's a nice heads-up about Crowley, Cybersam, thanks for the background. Next year we won't have Byrne, who's arguably the biggest offensive threat in college lacrosse, and we'll lose Clarke. But Kav, Alderman, Moeser, Concann...

Another close one but the Pride led pretty much the whole time, which is encouraging. Need to figure out a solution at faceoff before we lose because of it. Alex Woodall, Towson's FO man, is one of the best out there, and that's a must-win.

Quint interviewed team captain Tommy Voelkel and I like his answers, especially compared to some of the seniors on other teams Quint talked to to.

When you're on that page go to RPI instead--the Laxpower poll has been retired to my understanding.

Stu I'll admit you got me.

What a great writeup, the most thoughtful in-depth coverage of HU lax I've ever read. This writer knows what he's talking about. He's right that passing is what opens up our offense, we don't have a whole lot of blazing footspeed but everyone (except maybe Yanes, who is a deadly close-net finisher b...
