Which schools would you want to complain, maryland, unc or jmu? only
other school that would complain would be BC, and they won...if they lost they would be complaining. I get the whole all teams have injuries argument, don't think they needed TO on the draws, they lost huge there, but to downplay sbu 3rd leading scorer out is just silly...In 6 playoff team games she had 16g/17a...i think she might have helped in the scoring dept...with that said, BC's 3rd leading scorer had 4g in the game...good luck to the remaining teams.


Maybe she helps on the scoring end maybe she does not , do you think Kennedy has a career high if TO out there. Not down playing her absence, BC was missing Kent, UNC lost games missing their goalie and Bill, Ferrucci etc ,all teams are missing players but using that as an excuse is silly. Put the blame on Spallina keeping his big three in blowout games to run their numbers up instead of getting playing time for others who may be needed down the road. As far as the Tewaaraton I think each remaining team has a viable candidate but would put McCool and Apuzzo at the top of the list but very well may be decided by this weekends games.


Not using it as an excuse, but to say maybe she helps in the scoring, maybe she doesnt...got to admit thats a little dopey..i'm just looking at the stats, 6 playoff team games...4,5,5,5,6 and 8pts...Kennedy went 3/2 against penn and had 4g against NU...had 69 pts for the year...not too shabby...Kent didnt play all year and they were 17-1...you prove my point with UNC, they lost games while missing key players...Quick question for you, if SBU pulls that game out in ot, is Spallina a great coach and all other coaches should keep their big 3 in blowout games?


Sounds like you are using it as an excuse. Using your ridiculous logic the fact that Spallina lost proves my point that keeping his big three in to run up their numbers at the expense of preparing other players is bad coaching .My point about UNC that escapes you is they did not whine and make excuses when they lost unlike you. No one cares about going undefeated during the regular season when you played no top teams .All the gimmicks and bravado by Spallina and the first top 5 team they play they lose.


Your point about unc didnt escape me, my point about unc seemed to escape you...unc lost without their star players...thats my point, clear enough for you now? The whining part is after the fact forum nonsense...SBU lost in OT...that game could have gone either way, couldnt have be more even...Like i said if he wins that game is he a great coach? Wasnt like SBUlost by 10 and got destroyed...You make my point about him being a good coach, no excuse, but took BC to ot without one of the big three, losing draws 20-6, not getting top recruits...You are right, he is a darn good coach.


Apparently my point about UNC not making excuses did escape you as you are now making excuses for them. I guess the idea that whoever wins the game should be considered the better team escapes you also , game did not go either way BC won end of story. If Spallina is coaching them to keep the game as close as possible but lose in the end then kudos to him he succeeded .Whats the next excuse one of the players was not feeling well , th refs , the weather , how about they lost to a better team .The only thing I agree with you on is he is a good coach to get so much out of so little .
