Good topic! I think they finish 4-6 in each conference. People are grossly underestimating A-Sun. Queens and Lindenwood, 2 traditional D2 powers made the move to that conference and were .500 or less with some upgraded player quality on their rosters. There’s something to be said for playing teams t...

Christy Leach and Stetson have mutually agreed to part ways.

I am not picking on him. I am just saying what parents of players have said. Having two of the same voice is not always good. Look at their record and the talk of people leaving. She is the problem not him. She is a very charismatic recruiter and had parents drinking the Kool-Aid at a recruiting we...

I think pay is major issue. Why hasn’t some of the top associate head coaches and assistant coaches jumped at some of these midmajors? The pay is better as an assistant than it is as a head coach at the majority of these schools. Correct. Asst Coaches aren't moving to Cincinnati or Indianapolis for...

Devil's advocate here (pun kinda intended) Why are we giving Fairfield a free pass here? Agree Navy should be in, but.... Does anyone here think Fairfield would beat Duke on a neutral field? Fairfield has 2 pretty bad losses (HC and Niagra), much worse than Duke's worse loss (Clemson). In terms of ...

As I have written, I disagree and thought Duke should have been included. Attributing “save missy” or “save Kirsten” to the motivation of the committee seems a bit petulant to me… Sorry. That came off badly. Should have said sour grapes. I get why people thibk navy deserved it based on h2h. But I p...

Does Navy taking Loyola to OT yesterday push them over the edge?? *Edited to add I didn't realize their best win was against #30... hmmm If it came down to navy versus duke, for a spot in the dance, I’d rather see navy. The amount of Duke hate on this board is pretty hilarious. None of these teams ...

The Niagara talk is crazy. Niagara has lost to: Arizona State by 7 Siena by 1 Fairfield by 7 Best win is Marquette by 2 Duke/NAVY/USC/Clemson/Harvard/Brown would beat them by a touchdown at least. I lean towards Navy in this whole selection process. They beat Duke. Games should mean something. &quo...

It's an amazing accomplishment to be accepted into any of the Ivies. They have the lowest acceptance rates along with MIT, Duke, Stanford, etc. It's a given that any of those school will provide amazing job opportunities for their students that keep their grades up. Kudos to any young women going t...

Can I go chalk(?) for not looking at RPI , it is a primary criteria in the selection process. If the committee goes chalk on the RPI, the tournament would not be reflective of the best teams they could add. If they go by RPI, Brown makes the tournament. Browns big wins according to Jeremey are UMAS...

I’m using Clemson as an example of a bubble team, throw USC in there instead with the Duke/Navy crew than. Don’t get caught up on the example…for what it’s worth I think navy would be a best pick. I just don’t think the Ivy has 4 tournament caliber teams and I don’t think they are so deep that the ...

In my admittedly limited experience some of the PL schools mentioned made some very questionable offers (certainly not all, as there are good players at all those schools). I didn’t see what they were seeing and I know I’m not the only person to have made that observation. What I can tell you about...

Williamsburg is glorious, as is the W&M campus. I agree 100% that this program, given the academic profile of the school, proximity to lax hotbeds, and the ability to give athletic $$ sets them up for success. Hope it happens. The last time they went to the NCAA Tournament...2001 The last time ...

HARVARD BEAT BROWN AND MADE THE IVY TOURNAMENT. Brown did not. This makes me think this Jeremy fellow has either inside information or doesn't look at head 2 head. I just don't get it. Someone explain it to me like I am 5. Like i have been saying, DUKE beat Harvard, but is first out as well. This i...

Somebody at Fairfield is hacking IL's RPI ratings. FAIRFIELD listed at #4 in RPI with only one Top 20 win and a Top 21+ LOSS. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/alyssa-s-top-25-an-early-look-at-rpi-several-big-games-remaining-in-april/63004 Fairfield's RPI will drop as teams in ...

Fairfield has only played 1 Patriot League team this year. It was Holy Cross and they lost. That one hurts. I was one to pump the brakes on Army and Navy before the season, but both teams have put together very impressive seasons so far. Loyola, Army and Navy are deserving of making the final 28. L...

Denver is the only Big East team making national tourney as well. Likely. But if Denver (or stony brook) get shocked in their conference tourney, they will still make the ncaa tourney. The 6 conferences mentioned don’t have a single team who qualifies on their own Might as well include the Patriot ...

It seems like a good time to start this, what with us all just finishing making donations to our local NCAA BB pools! Someone mentioned Duke potentially making the WLAX tournament this year, after they beat Harvard the other day, so I thought I would run through a cut at a bracket. I am not good wi...
