This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Overall mediocre performance. by Fightorflight

Despite dominating face offs and therefore possessions, the game was much closer than it should have been. Ryder Garnsey is truly special. His imagination, originality, and vision are extraordinary. I have watched a plethora of lacrosse. I can't think of another play in which the a player came from X, continued toward the center of the field, drawing the goalie away from the near side pipe, switching hands to shoot effectively going away from the goal. It is difficult to explain why that was such a spectacular goal. ND needs to create some plays to get Perkovic more involved. And Perkovic needs to look to the middle for Wynn or Garnsey when he draws a double team or slide. His field vision leaves much to be desired. Doss was mediocre at best and there appeared to be some communication issues on defense. 42 for Georgetown was bold and took every opening. He is a great player but I never saw any defensive adjustments for him. Coach Byrne tends to prefer a base defense, but sometimes you need to adapt. I never saw any changes in philosophy guarding him. They will be a dangerous team and barring injuries should be a favorite to make Championship weekend. Goalie play will determine a great dea.
