When ND is winning 80% of its face offs it’s ballgame over for any opponent. This is like the 2021 GU game vs. UVA, losing their faceoff guy at Hofstra. UVA would have won anyway but this game would have been a contest with anywhere near equal possessions. Exactly. No Ball no chance for Georgetown

Beninati & Ward calling ND-Albany are such a relief to listen to after the endless babble of those other guys ... You mean to say they don’t do shtick? I mean to say they don't genuflect to the ACC like Quint and Carc. Quint & Carc spent 6 hours of the Ivy League Tournament proclaiming that...

But he'll soon revert to the typical pattern of the last 10 years with ACC worship.

Wish we were still posting in the 2024 Ivy thread with an Ivy representative advancing to the quarterfinals of this year's NCAA tournament, but it was not to be. Some interesting storylines for 2025, headlined by the coaching change in Providence. (Brown poster Counselor, always a great source for ...

I mean to say they don't genuflect to the ACC like Quint and Carc.

McNaney and Wiernan were on fire the first half and McMeekin and Gianfcario definitely were not. Worst half I've seen Gianforcano play.

That may be a vote for the top freshman attackman but you need either a separate poll for other positions or a longer list

McNaney was solid early. Combined with Wierman dominating faceoffs this got Maryland rolling at the start.

First, this game is definitely not over. Not even half yet, and after watching Michigan in the BIG tourney they have the ability to make a comeback. Second, have to wonder how travel plays into this. Both for Denver heading east to Nova and now Michigan west to Denver... Definitely not over. A mere...

Kevin Fitzgerald and Mark Dixon. Fitzgerald not bad, Dixon trying to stay neck to neck with Carcaterra and Kessenich with childish commentary. Oof that’s harsh re Dixon, I think he’s waaayyy better than the three headed monster (carc-anish-qk). Really nice guy too. Agreed. Especially in comparison ...

Not knocking Brandau in any way - exceptional player with a historic year given injuries at Yale , and I'm not even suggesting Kav should win the award. but my issue with PPG as determining factor is it can't factor in opponents. Past nine games for each team: Yale: Princeton (2), Albany, Hofstra, ...

HM is a mile long - Turner midfielder from hofstra couldnt make it? !!! Also Ross Scott of Rutgers at attack. Amazing attack group overall, but he was better than most of the HM group Lmao no he wasn't. It's not 2022 anymore Disagree. The fact that he didn't have a lefty finisher to feed, as oppose...

Exactly. I had the same reaction to the ND "snub" in 2022. It doesn't matter how many 5 stars recruits you have on the roster, or that you won your last three games. The entire season matters. Every game. Win more games and you will make the tournament. I wouldn't change that. It can't be...

Michigan will not go up a goal 6 seconds after the opening faceoff and take off from there.

Unfort it looks like it will get worse from here over the next three weeks.

Right. What I'm sick of is Carc and Quint.

If Michigan is the AQ from the Big 10 (only way they get in) neither the BE nor Ivy get more than 1 at large. And that's not guaranteed. Everybody hope for a Penn St win tonight.

Factoring in AQ’s: Duke, ND, Syracuse, UVA = 4 at large Hopkins, Maryland, PSU = 2 at large Yale, Cornell = 1 at large You basically have one slot left - Georgetown, Penn, Princeton? Does Yale get the at large if their FOGOs are still injured and they lose in the Ivy Semifinals by a significant sco...

My new Top 20 4-27-2024. My apologies to the late games but none will affect my top 20: 1. Notre Dame 2. Johns Hopkins 3. Denver 4. Penn State 5. Syracuse 6. Cornell 7. Georgetown 8. Duke 9. Maryland 10. Virginia 11. Yale 12. Princeton 13. Penn 14. Army 15. St. Joseph 16. Towson 17. Michigan 18. Bo...

Congrats to all of the Ancient Seven teams for a season well done. (Columbia, we're waiting for you to join the rest. :( ) I'm glad the four teams that made the ILT are C, Pr, Y, & Pn. B, D, & H have some quality and hopeful, bright futures, but the four that made the tourney have been the ...
