Re: Men's Lacrosse 2026

ST was class of 87 at MacArthur HS, so he's about 57. He could conceivably be here another 10+ years

Re: MBB Game 35 vs. Alabama, March 20 (Fri) 3:15 PM - NCAAT Round 1

Speedy brings a ton of intangibles and is outstanding with player development in every sense of the word. He is loyal and a high character guy. I sometimes question some in-game tactics, but the team plays hard for him, and that is probably the most important. We are fortunate to have him.

Re: NCAA Tournament Thread

Slow down the game and we've got a chance.

Familiar voice of Tom McCarthy on the call. On TRU

Re: MBB Game 34 vs. Monmouth, March 10 (Tue) 7 PM

Not our most talented recent team, but for once, the fates were with us, and we got the job done. And yes, after losing five straight, this team seemed to be toast. Well done, Speedy and Co., for non panicking, getting it back on the rails, and executing when it mattered most. This squad has the hea...

Re: Pete Gillen

I concur- he was bad to the point of being embarrassing! One cliche after another, like a watered down Bill Raftery, without any of the charm or insight. He must have called for a double team ten times! At one point he said Speedy played for Pecora. Ugh! However...no one's going to rain on this para...

Re: 2026 CAA MBB Tournament

I'm not suggesting we sit starters. I would limit their minutes, however. I don't think Speedy needs to run the team into the ground for a game that is totally meaningless at this point

Re: MBB Game 30 Stony Brook, Feb 28 (Sat) 7 PM

Yes, I know he occasionally runs plays, most frequently the drive and kick out to the corner, and high ball screens. There is a lack of sophistication to the offense. Definitely relies on Cruz isolation most often when we need a score. And the whole building sees it coming

Re: MBB Game 30 Stony Brook, Feb 28 (Sat) 7 PM

Glad we got the win and all, and kudos to SBU for a good effort without their best player, but we looked awful. I guess we hang our hat on the defense. Speedy does not run an offense...he has the best 2 players and any other hot hand try to break down the defense. I think this has become pretty easy...

Re: Men's Lacrosse 2026

As they say, follow the money. Correct me if I'm wrong, but James Metzger is his patron, keeping him afloat? Is that accurate? (Honestly asking.) Send him emails, if so, telling him he's wasting his money. I'm not sure what his motivation is for supporting ST. If it is to create a winning program, h...

On another topic, Roberts appeared to fall hard on his face in the first half, although he did play late in the game. Was it nose, teeth, etc?

I didn't see what happened to Biggie. What kind of injury? Did it look serious? Non-contact, etc.?
