Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, lax rats alike, welcome back to another episode of

the Creece dive and I am your host Matt Nessler and joining me today is a very special guest.

He was a captain at Syracuse.

He wore number 13.

He's played over a thousand minutes.

He was the ACC tournament MVP. He hails from Manhass at Long Island. Evan Malloy, baby. Welcome to the show. Thanks for coming on, brother. How you doing today? I'm doing great, man. Summer's rolling around. We got queues in the quarterfinals on Long Island, so can't complain. Nick's in the playoffs. So So yeah, I'm all good over here. Thank you for the

intro. I don't know if a thousand minutes is a great accolade, though. North, North, well over. I was supposed to be in there. Well over. It's hard to say, 1,493, I think, is the exact. I'm right there. yeah i don't know what what a season better plays, but... Yeah, no. So you can, you know, people think you played for longer and were better than you were, so I'm trying to keep that going. Yeah, no, that's, I'm in the same boat. I'm pulling stats out every corner. I'm, you know. I was a defensive player the week this week um but no i was doing i was doing my

read up on you i was i was trying to get some intel from some former teammates um i did a

little bit of a deep dive uh lucky for me you're an easy guy to do a deep dive on um for those who

don't know evan maloy listening to this podcast, I guarantee you fucking do.

He was the co-host of the post-game podcast well before my time in the world of lacrosse.

I was just a wee lad getting drunk.

Cabrini, Virginia, especially out the fellas.

I didn't watch on YouTube.

And him and Nick Cassello were on the show when Jordi was running it solo and had some other guys on at the beginning of the show.

So he's a legend of the game.

I want to preface that with before anything that goes down here tonight.

I mean, let's get right into, let's get right into Cuse, man. How are you feeling about the current team this year? I feel good. I think, like, the, I think there's a little bit of, like, a letdown with last year, I mean, going to the Final Four, got beat pretty handedly by Maryland. And then I think it was kind of just getting through the regular season of this year.

They had some ups and downs.

Like the back-to-back, Ivy League, they looked like, you know, not pedestrian.

They still look good, but they had like a tough time with the Ivy League.

But they have taken care of business as of late.
