Yup. Three goals in the first two and a half minutes. 51 shots in the game. They obviously wanted to stall and hold onto the ball.

They did hold onto the ball. They surprised even themselves by not needing to put more effort into doing so.

They set an NCAA tournament record for goals scored in a period during that first period yet somehow you try to hang onto your delusional idea that they were holding the ball in order to limit our possessions. Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't know what game you were watching. They were attacking on offense and firing away at every opportunity that they got.

Dude, we had like 30 seconds of possession in the 1st Q. Get a grip.

But not because their strategy was to "hold the ball as long as they can" which is what you said they would do. They were firing away, which is what I said they would do. If you thought Yale was playing stall ball, you've never watched someone play that way.

If you knew anything about lacrosse, you would know that there are ways of keeping possession other than running the ball around on the outside.
