Just saw the starting lineup for today's game and Hogg has been moved back to attack.

[cwdickens]

Apparently, ESPN+ is having technical difficulties with feed from Penn.

[jimbo]

Yup. Technically not working. 

[AlbanyFan2018]

Silly defensive breakdown leads to a point blank shot for a goal and Piseno as good as he is just made a terrible missed check in close and the goalie bails us out. That has got to cleaned up ASAP.

[AlbanyFan2018]

Looks like Piseno, at least for now, back at LSM, but not for long!!

Had to step away for a bit….looks like the Danes are having technical problems of their own…

No issues here and the Dane Train is rolling now, UAlbany is only down 1.

[AlbanyFan2018]

I think this is going how it going to look. A little sloppy with younger players, but this group seems to be playing with a lot more heart than other recent teams. I still hate the slide packages, and we create more offense then we actually give up.

[jimbo]

No real scary attack players for UA…at least so far. 

[HOF2013]

WAY too many turnovers - unforced - really bad passes.  Bad shots at the net, our guys hold the ball too long, yelling at the TV to "take the damn shot.....".  They had 5 bad passes out of bounds in the second half and we could not take advantage at all...................  Still close D guys letting attackmen get a step with free hands.....not sliding well........  Partly the fact that we have a lot of young guys starting and playing a lot I guess = game is much quicker than HS.  Very frustrating - Not much else to say

I too, watched the entire game.  Their youth shows.

[AlbanyFan2018]

The youth does show, and we have been young for a number of years without a lot of development. Rather than get negative I will have to sign off. The last five years or so after the great run we had are tough to watch.  I think we had the chance to be the Gonzaga of college lacrosse, but for some reason it slipped through our fingers. It is tough to watch the same mistakes being made over and over again. I do think we have a nice crop of freshmen on the team, but we haven't seen the sort of growth you would expect over four years.

I said it years ago, I applaud and love Coach Marr's loyalty, but it is time to look out side the program for the coaching staff. It is only natural for things to get too comfortable. Time to shake things up, and bring in some fresh eyes.

[HOF2013]

As I have said for a couple of years, we need a new defensive coordinator - my opinion.  Guys need to be more aggressive and better at the slides.  Wings have to be better on FO.   On Offense, we just can not get the ball inside consistently - we seem to pass round way outside over and over and can not get it inside for a shot.   Both Colgate and Penn get it in quick and shoot immediately - we have not been able to do that.  Our guys are just not comforatble dodging and getting inside to shoot or even shooting when they have a quick opening.   We take a lot of low % shots.
