St. Joseph's has a long winning streak. "Hottest team." Anything can happen. Blah blah blah. None of those wins were against tournament teams. Only 5 teams even had winning records. Anyone here really betting on them this weekend? Or even think it's likely they beat UVA? I haven't seen th...

Those are two major goals met, 06.

Add in a 1st round win, that'll be another big goal - Lehigh won't be easy,
win by one goal, win ugly, who cares ?

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...

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...

Of the first eight games, I can think of four where the home team might not make it through: UVA vs St. Josephs : UVA has tremendous talent, but has not been winning. Granted they have been playing the top programs in the country. In contrast, St. Joe's has one of the longest unbeaten streaks in th...

Tigers with a good draw.
Tigers with good momentum, playing as well or better than they did early to middle of this season.

Syracuse is physical, Dwan is massive - they'll have to be able to deal with that.

Cavs are in big trouble, Hawks will be going to UVA.

I just don't see UVA as being anywhere near that physical.

Tigers play the Orange, well done

Penn State picked over UPenn.

Josh Bryne (Dutch) is one of the best players in the world, in the top 3,

Bryne and the Buffalo team make it to the NLL finals to go up against Tye Kurtz and Albany.

Tye Kurtz,

last year Albany won 3 games,
this year, adding Kurtz and Alex Simmons - Albany make their 1st National Lacrosse League finals.

Terry Foy has Penn in, FWIW. I'm not sure who would grab that last at-large over Penn, to be honest. They certainly have a deserving resume. He posed the issue as Penn/Penn State Wow. I didn't realize he had Penn State out. I figured PSU bricked the game against Michigan, assuming they were already...

Penn State squeeks in, the last in.

Tanking last night's game was a bad idea.

No chance for Quakers,

Tigers have (sort of, kind of) gotten to Carroll today.

Penn State might be the last in, they're close to not getting in.

Coaches should have made it clear to the team last night, they played as if they were already in.

I take 36 hours off this forum and we're firing coaches and wondering how cancer research funds can be redirected to get the team airplane tickets. No one cares but they now beat 3 conference tournament champions-and 2 towson/georgetown came early. The program was prepared from the get go. If it st...
