This feels like a game that's either a back and forth slugfest for the entire game or UVA winning in a rout with little in-between. I know everyone thinks UVA could be in trouble here but this also seems like a game you could turn on and UVA is up 9-3 or 10-1 early 2nd quarter. Key to me is how UVA ...

Let’s go Lehigh is a solid team and defensively they can lock down at time but I just don't know they are going to score enough to keep up. Hopkins O has had some major issues at times and maybe if that carries over from the Penn State game they have a shot but it's hard to see how Hopkins doesn't ...

Towson has had a great season but think their luck runs out in the Dome. The big advantages they've had over CAA teams are mostly neutralized here. (This is an attempt at a reverse jinx) Reverse jinx aside lol, curious to get your take on the game having seen both teams. The big advantages you ment...

Interesting matchup on a number of levels. Towson has a couple of high end O pieces in Demaio and Weisshaar and obviously very solid play at the X and goalie. They clearly have shown an ability to beat talented teams in their wins over St. Joes and Navy (albeit when both were really struggling) and ...

Correct.

According to Xanders tweet the underclass window to enter is May 12th - June 10

Ya that sounds right, I know its coming up but currently its only Grad guys

Towson over Cuse, Michigan over Denver, Princeton over Maryland, Penn State over Georgetown, Saint Josephs over UVa would not surprise me. Slightly less probably but Lehigh over a dumpster fire Hopkins offense wouldnt shock me either. Hah ! Dumpster fire ! On the other hand, though - just about eve...

St. Joseph's has a long winning streak. "Hottest team." Anything can happen. Blah blah blah. None of those wins were against tournament teams. Only 5 teams even had winning records. Anyone here really betting on them this weekend? Or even think it's likely they beat UVA? I haven't seen th...

Denver seems a little high but everything else seems about right. Could argue Cuse and Hopkins should be flipped but there's an argument each way.

Couldn’t you make the argument Cornell has a better resume than Penn, Penn State, and Princeton? Cornell has a higher SOS than the other three. Has a top five win against the likely tournament 2 seed (Syracuse), the other three have no top 5 wins. They have a 6-10 win against Princeton head to head...

Given NCAA travel restrictions, I think Albany goes to Cuse; Utah to Denver and ND hosts St Joes, agree with the other matchups… Albany going to Cuse would be a dream for the committee and travle costs but it's impossible to pull off this year. Albany had a nice turnaround but their overall #s are ...

3 goals in seconds. BU ball 1 min left. BU wins after a terrible decision by Pilate to get caught shoving a guy in the crease. Army likely out for the tourney now. Was hoping for another Army/Navy game. Just a brutal incident on the crease, and when someone falls in crease ref has to call something...

If this is the tax you pay for 2 recent national championships, 3 Tewaaraton winners, a ton of final 4's and title game appearances and 33-1 over 2 seasons....totally worth it. Somehow Tillman will still get this team to the dance after a brutal schedule. 8-5 may look awful, but man it was close to...

I've read on the Cornell thread a number of times that he is supposed to be back. Yes, he will be back at Cornell next year, as will Mikey Long Long would have had to withdraw from Cornell back in 21 like Kirst did to still have an extra year under the IVY rules. Perhaps he did but I haven't seen a...

"This will be the first year these teams can't reload using 5th years/grad students. There are some Ivy players that will get an extra year, but 2024 was it for the Covid impact." I think I got this right--only Ivys get the extra year in 2025, and not too many of them. And I did reference...

Yes, let's hope that the Heels show up for the seniors and knock off Duke.... I will take a crack at 2025, and yes, there are some positives going forward: UVA and Duke lose a ton of offense, and to a lesser extent, ND, too. This will be the first year these teams can't reload using 5th years/grad ...
