Re: TV Broadcasts/Announcers/Production
A broadcast team talking delis, chicken parm sandwiches, traffic, workout routines, haircuts!!! is different from not keeping track of other pertinent games. No argument for me on those things, and I agree that stuff is annoying. But people have also complained any time that they mention teams that...

Re: All Americans 2024
Initial thoughts: - Weisshaar should be a first team AA. - Bundy played attack the majority of the year and was Georgetown's third leading scorer. First team status for him is essentially a career achievement award. - Zupicich as an HM is the biggest snub on this whole list. He and Piseno blew away ...

Re: UNC 2024
Madalon I'm not shoveling dirt on JB but this would be my guy. Tigers had no business making the NCAAT last year with the injuries they had, but got it done. Doubt it would have much relevance at this point, but Madalon's brother was a starting keeper for the Tar Heels so there is at least a margin...

Re: ivy league 2024
Tbh I don't think they Ivy's were snubbed this year just as I didn't think the ACC teams were snubbed in 2022. The RPI system isn't perfect, but it's the best we've come up with at the moment and all the teams know the system going in. The Ivy's had some great OOC wins, but a few too many that they...

Re: Possible Tournament Upsets?
Towson over Cuse, Michigan over Denver, Princeton over Maryland, Penn State over Georgetown, Saint Josephs over UVa would not surprise me. Slightly less probably but Lehigh over a dumpster fire Hopkins offense wouldnt shock me either. Hah ! Dumpster fire ! On the other hand, though - just about eve...

Re: Does Notre Dame Repeat As Champions?
Only weakness I see is that they do seem to rely on their top two shorties quite a bit -- which can be an issue once the weather heats up in May (especially if they have to play two games in three days). That was what really put '22 Maryland over the top; beyond an insanely efficient offense, the to...

Re: TV Broadcasts/Announcers/Production
I wish that I knew the names of the announcers who did the Big Ten final last night - Benedetti? - and today's Patriot League final because they were knowledgeable, straight-forward, and more importantly let the lacrosse speak for itself. They are in direct contrast to Carc and Quint, who are obvio...

Re: 2024 Bracketology
Tell me again why UVA is such an automatic? Yea, I get the RPI, but don’t you at least have to win some of those games, and not just play them? Wins against umd (do we know what they are , btw, from a quality perspective?), Harvard (didn’t make the Ivy tourney) and Mich (who before the Big10 tourne...

Re: 2024 Bracketology
Or even send GT to Md Man, I hope so. This year you definitely prefer to be in the 2/3 bracket vs the 1/4. I just ran it and I don’t see an advantage in seeding #1 ND vs Albany- +10.3 #2 Duke vs Lehigh- +7.3 #3 Cuse vs Lehigh 15 - 8 +7 #4 Hop vs Towson 12- 10 +1.9 #5 Virgina vs St Joseph’s 14-11 +3...

Re: TV Broadcasts/Announcers/Production
Can't win with folks on here. When they mention other things going on, people complain they're not calling the game in front of them. When they don't, they're dropping the ball. And if every team thinks Quint hates them, that's a sign he's doing a good job of being impartial.
