Not sure any Maryland offensive player would make Duke's rotation. Maybe Spanos

How'd this poll end up at just 22-19 for Duke? These teams aren't close.

Bum PhilLips: "Two kinds of players ain't worth a damn: One never does what he's told, and one who does nothin' but what he's told." Can't tell you how many overcoached kids I've seen who freeze up when the other team anticipates the action and works to stop it. So many youth coaches woul...

Agree. Its kind of strange, but outside of ND, I think the #1 thing stopping the ACC is coaching (I dont think Duke, UVA, or Cuse are very disciplined) How are those 3 teams not disciplined? Cuse generally has a stretch where they lose their minds, make bad turnovers. Even Cuse fans say that UVa de...

It was great to see the new looks on offense, the obvious ones being Malever and Erksa in the open field. But also Whittier getting a bunch of run (he gave himself a few great looks which he hopefully drains this week). Erksa also got himself great looks as well that didn't get cashed. Nice to see S...

Wow, Duke has 18 grad students. How this team has lost 5 games is a mystery, but it doesn't matter now. Duke averages 50% more goals per game than Maryland so that's a pretty huge chasm. Terps may have to revert back to the slowdown offense to maybe take the Devils out of their preferred rhythm. I'd...

At the end of the day USILA list is the one that matters anyway. Why? Submitted by college coaches and goes to a committee. Not a bunch of guys who have never played college lacrosse. USILA also gives out the Enners, Schmeisser, etc. it’s the “official” list Do you think USILA is above the politics...

Agree it's shocking that a guy who does nothing but score tons of goals, many from his own playmaking, is not recognized better. But I doubt anyone's donating a testacle for his services.

Did he? I don't know. Did every player on this list dominate every half this season?

So I'd say the selection and seeding protocol worked perfectly this year. Nobody ever wants to congratulate the system, but it worked. Maybe you can argue amongst the seeds?

Impressive that Zappitello was the only unanimous selection

Oh, you're quoting message board posters' opinions. I mean, take the W.

Not surprised by this result whatsoever. Penn State came out firing, but people need to realize that Georgetown is built different this year. So much for Penn State being better at every position and winning by five goals I guess? Not really interested in grave dancing, but very typical for Georget...

Curious if Ajax takes O'Neill or Zawada. I assume he is used to negate Zawada's speed, then hope some combination of strength and slides can contain the MVP of the world.

I picked Princeton to win tonight. They gave Maryland about as good a game as St. Joe gave UVA and Zutah gabs Duke. Terps made the Tigers look like an AQ from a weak conference. I thought Princeton was better than this. I think Princeton is better than this, certainly the goalie. However, similar b...
