LaxPower Back-Up Stick

What success? Having two teams make the sweet 16 is a success. Especially for Swarthmore who is on the uptick. Success is a spectrum not binary Oh man. He’s just lobbing this one in there. But if I knock it out of the park, it would likely get me banned. And there’s too many NESCAC fans that have b...

Congrats to the Captains on making their 4th straight Elite 8 and seeking their 3rd final four in the last 4 years. Going to be a good one up in Rochester. Based on the upsets we’ve seen so far this tournament, this is anyone’s game. Exactly. The consistent success for the last 4 years is exemplary

I gotta hand it to the Middlebury players. They saw their coach’s predicament, and have really rallied behind him. I’m even tempted to give them the edge in this one. An animal is never more dangerous than when it’s injured - Panthers included.

Lots of talk on the forum of some big spots coming up.

-WAC
-Denison
-Middlebury
-Stevens

Any validity to the rumors?

The Liberty League is the top conference in DIII lacrosse now, and for the foreseeable future. The first part is obviously true; the second part isn’t worth engaging with. Hey, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong. I thought they were the top conference at the beginning also but as the season went on an...

NCAA pays for a travel party of 50, limits bench area to 50 including coaches, medical, administrator, limits roster of eligible players to enter the game to 32. I think the intent of the 32 is so a 80 roster team doesn't put in their 4th teamers in the 2nd half to try and make the Sunday games mor...

Swat advances and looks good vs a 16-1 Endicott squad. How do they beat Salisbury? Serious question. I think they have a punchers chance. I think they need a few things to happen: Convert every faceoff win to a possession- can not afford to turn the ball over between the lines Clear close to 100% C...

Excited to hear the analysis.
Definitely not a #downyear… definitely not.

Babson won. You changing the narrative again beginning in 5…4…3….2….1.

Haha. Nah. It was a great game.

CNU community! I know you didn't have a choice in the matter, in terms of playing Cabrini, but I'm still thankful for the contest. Best of luck tomorrow and in the seasons to follow. Great things to come for your Captains. MT is a gem. Respect. Your boys got a raw deal, but there is so much more to...

What? You’re ignoring bad locker room behavior as a coach?
You’re ignoring the behavior of the bad kid in class as a teacher?
Youve been ignoring it for 30 years? How’s that working out?

Fair. Does Massey have a result prediction for Endicott Swarthmore? Expecting a barn burner, 58% Garnet, 14-13 projected final. https://masseyratings.com/game.php?gid=940476613 Spicy. Also seeing 68% 2 goal diff now for Babson. Maybe it’s changed. https://masseyratings.com/game.php?s0=577306&oi...

Not much chatter since CAC tourney ended. What are your thoughts and takes heading into NCAA's? I think overall CNU should feel fortunate about how the bracket landed for them. Not having to face on their side of the bracket probably feels like a relief. I'm sure the team is eager to prove that, ev...

FWIW laxreference has Denison winning 74 times out of 100 sims vs Babson. I think LaxReference has improved a lot this year, but their Elo model has failed to adequately account for the geographic imbalance in D3 lacrosse for years. They consistently have Midwestern teams wildly overrated and the c...

False (as usual). If only every Region I team could have just played Christopher Newport (#2 in Region 3) this year, it would have been win after win. Or Swarthmore (#3 in Region 3), or Gettysburg (#5 Region 3). Bottom line Region 1 team are 5-1 against Region 3. Babson or Endicott would have had l...
