LaxPower Back-Up Stick

To be fair, some of the biggest crying was the ESPN crew.

The Jays briefly looked better than UMich, but then they found the script.
All to ensure that Cornell doesn't get a bid.

This guy wouldn’t know good lacrosse if it smacked him in his TDS face. Surprised he has anyone who would consider him knowledgeable on any subject based off his bat turd crazy, non sensical twitter posts (which consists mostly of clinton love letters (you know the woman who effed up Bengazi and ki...

Def sick of them. But honestly it’s more the way Carc and others cover them / talk about them. Not their fault. Unfort it looks like it will get worse from here over the next three weeks. Agree. This reminds me of the discussion of #22 on the Syracuse thread. I get that announcers feel the need to ...

Yes, four losses, but all to top-4 Power-ranked teams.

It's the trend and the eye test that is more concerning, and I don't think the committee uses those any more than they use Power Rankings.

P.S. Top 7 losses according to Massey.

The Ivy League word of the day is Apophasis.

Of course, Brown is an attractive destination, but it has to play in a conference with HPY (arguably the three most attractive destinations in the country) and Cornell with its legendary lax history.

And following Lars has to be a tough act.

It is because the power rankings incorporate margin of victory, and when you thrash a good team like Cornell, it counts heavily, while a bunch of one-goal wins do not count as heavily. And one of JHU's one-goal losses was to Navy, and the model would have predicted a large margin for the Jays, hence...

In fairness, by this time of year, I believe the Power Rankings are the best measure of the full body of work, and they show Syracuse ahead of JHU.

Each has conference tournaments to worry about first.

Which is why coaches should discourage trash-talking and referees should discourage chippiness. They can escalate into cheap shots and fighting. Better to put a lid on it early.

Being at the game, taking in the incredible electric, positive atmosphere with 10k+ in attendance, hundreds of alums, more students at a game than I can remember in at least a decade, good vibes all over campus, a defensive masterclass gets you the Crab and a 5-0 Big regular season title and locks ...

I have written before on other forums, but I know for a fact that at one of the highly competitive schools (not JHU, and certainly not an Ivy) all seven figures gets you is a good second look at a qualified applicant (25-75th percentile), not a guarantee.

I like former coaches like Zimm and Cottle in the booth.

I have heard that it is tough for opposing goalies to pick up the ball in the Dome. But wow. Two weeks in a row. Maybe not a single "he really should have had that one" but you want to steal one every once in a while.

South Bend will be jammed packed and buzzing this weekend. 11:30 am face off @ Arlotta Stadium followed by the annual Blue vs. Gold Football game at 1pm @ ND Stadium. Arlotta has had incredible turnouts each home game and I expect this one to be sold out as well. I wonder if Jordan Faison will make...

Hopkins put up 16 on Uva. Maryland 13 in Syracuse. Ohio St.'s offense is clearly not a strength but Penn St. is. They put up 20 on Cornell which is more than ND just did. A lot of goals go in Acc games than won't in Big Ten games. Take a look at each B1G team’s worst defensive performances of the s...

ND and Syracuse have good goalies. The rest of that conference leaves a lot to be desired from what I have seen. I am fairly certain I could have put one home on Uva's goalie yesterday. Duke is #4 in adjusted save percentage, UVA is #9. Both rank above Rutgers and Maryland. Entenmann and Mark will ...

PM's post game comments-Degnon caught on defense 5 times according to him.

Degnon did have that key takeaway in the end

Not to mention, better to hustle back than to say "not my job".

What was the call? Earlier in the year it probably would have been two minutes, non-releasable.
