No doubt that the biggest loss for Cornell from this year to last year was easily GAVIN ADLER. Their defense improved from the beginning of the year but that guy made such a difference that he would turn those 1 goal losses into 1 goal victories, with that extra caused turnover or ground ball or tak...

Or even send GT to Md Man, I hope so. This year you definitely prefer to be in the 2/3 bracket vs the 1/4. I just ran it and I don’t see an advantage in seeding #1 ND vs Albany- +10.3 #2 Duke vs Lehigh- +7.3 #3 Cuse vs Lehigh 15 - 8 +7 #4 Hop vs Towson 12- 10 +1.9 #5 Virgina vs St Joseph’s 14-11 +3...

Army (one time #1 in the country) does not qualify? Off the top of my head, I can’t think of another team that went from #1 to out-of-the-tournament in six weeks. BU had their number this year. It would have been fun to see Army in the big dance where anything could happen. Towson about 5 years ago...

It hurts to watch teams like Denver and JHU and PSU lay complete eggs in the league tourneys with no risk of losing a bid and have those putrid efforts in somewhat meaningless games cost Cornell a bid. Couldn't agree more. I understand the NCAA wanting to create some end of season drama but if ther...

If we did the threat or eye test then Notre Dame would be playing for a 3peat in national championships this year Yeah, the lacrosse fanbase is probably one of the most intelligent groups of sports fans as a whole, at least evidenced by this community. Lot of great statistical and fact-based analys...

I was actually thinking of going to the game today as the visiting fans that I met during the Friday games were wonderful people who were very respectful of all the other teams fans. I got many Penn fans who told me that they felt sorry for the inevitable that Cornell was now probably out, but in th...

All to ensure that Cornell doesn't get a bid.

Ahh, the conspiracy theorists thank you.

Ahhh, the conspiracy theorists would agree 100% with this post.

OK, my buddy has been harping at me about a MAJOR CONSPIRACY theory he has, (and just not for LAX), but his theory is that when their is a conference championship and let's say it's 4 teams, with 3 that have already LOCKED up bids, that conferences figure they can now get ALL 4 in by allowing the t...

That would completely BLOW UP my buddies conspiracy theory that he said, Maryland, JHU and PSU were locks so the BIG conference "conspired" to have Michigan win the tourney and get all 4 in.

Man, put yourself on the committee and having to make that call. Here we have a team with astronomical computer numbers who have lost their last 4 games, and looked pretty bad doing it. I mean, this is Virginia, with gobs of talent, and we are going to leave them out. I'm not sure if I'm a committee...

I think I asked this before, but has ANY TEAM LOST their final 4 games and still made the tournament?

I think this may be unprecedented but the historians on this forum may know more than I.

I would be pretty annoyed if big East gets 3 teams and Ivy only 1. Big East is not that strong top to bottom. Only the AQ at this point gives ivies any peace of mind. League deserves an at large IMO but a lot to shake out with upset minded nova and Michigan. Psu looks legit though. I am guessing Co...

First, congratulations to Penn on a sensational effort at a place where Cornell , up until last night was undefeated. Carroll was amazing, as anytime it looked like Cornell could start a run, he came up with incredible saves, many from point blank range. A special shout out to clearly the best playe...

Here’s hoping for a healthy Ivy tournament for all four teams involved. No matter what teams advance to Sunday and which team grabs the brass ring, I will be rooting for the Ivy entrants in the NCAA tournament. Good luck to the Ivy League players, coaches, families and fans this weekend. Joewillie,...

Also, given the time of the game, I can attend the Friday night festivities at my local craft brewery, and still make the game. Gobigred Joewillie78 Have you arranged for a driver to get you to the game? :P Well, that may be an issue as all the friends I'm going with, all come to HOPSHIRE (that's o...

Initial weather forecast for Friday night is in a word, SHOCKING. It is supposed to be beautiful with highs during the day in the mid-70s and upper 50's near 60 for the evening. This might be the first game this year that I attend and don't have to dress like a polar bear, and worry about my coffee ...

Daly just resigned.
