Heels LAX

[WoadBlue]

Also- Balkam stood on his head once he came in- game MVP with several yuuge 4th quarter saves. I wonder how sick he was but I assumed it must have been bad after Reder let in that half field shot at the end of the 1stQ.

Youngster - lack of experience. He'll learn.

I would guess Balkam was fairly ill. This was a huge game for us. We badly needed that W after the crap fest at Syracuse.

 

[UNC71-00]

He's another Syracuse grad. ESPN assumes that every Cuse grad in sports journalism deserves a job, at least to call lacrosse.

He makes my ears bleed and I don't care which game he is calling. I would probably watch more ESPNU lacrosse if I didn't have to listen to him.

 

[WoadBlue]

You should- you might be the only guy there. I can't forget for the life of me figure out why the ACC thought it a good idea to put this tourney in the ATL.

I wonder if they are thinking in terms of future lacrosse players. The sport has exploded in HS in several areas, and I think Atlanta is one. No GA college plays D1 lacrosse.

Oh, I agree about Reder and he will be good. But he was very inconsistent today and it almost cost us a shot at postseason

 

[WoadBlue]

Nice. Go Heels!

I'm considering going to the ACC Lax Tourney since Kennesaw and KSU is only a 20 minute drive from me.

Go. If the Heels do well and you didn't, you'll regret it.

 

[tarheel0910]

Women's team won the ACC tourney on Sunday. First time since 2002.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Go. If the Heels do well and you didn't, you'll regret it.

I didn't and they didn't. No regrets here

 

[WoadBlue]

I didn't and they didn't. No regrets here

Syracuse has our number.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Syracuse has our number.

I'm okay with it as a necessary sacrifice if it means we beat them in basketball, football, and soccer.

So does the ACC early knockout remove us from NCAA tourney consideration? I don't know how that all works.

It should not. UNC, ND, Dook, and Cuse should all be in. But the ACC-haters, who now are stoked by the Big Ten, will act this entire week to cut out at least 1 of those 4. And my guess is that most focus their cut desire on UNC.

 

[WoadBlue]

We got in. At Marquette.

 

[WoadBlue]

Heels play Marquette on ESPNU at 2:30 Eastern/1:30 Central.

Sloppy play by the Heels.

 

[WoadBlue]

6-5 Heels was the halftime score. I'm still suffering the effects of an awful spring cold.

 

[WoadBlue]

9-7 Heels after 3

A consistent quarter, on both ends, secures the W.

 

[WoadBlue]

Sloppy, inconsistent play throughout. Easily could have lost.

Cloutier over his left shoulder - highlight reel shot.
