That’s my top 10, for what it’s worth.

I think there has been some hooka use on the side with that poll. UNC can't slide to 6. The poll you featured has UNC sliding to 4. That's the thing though--it's a computer derived ranking, if you will. The data is crunched, i.e. strength of schedule, record of opponents vs common opponents, etc. A...

I like this ranking. Much more interesting...

====================================

Brown is down 9-2 with 15:49 left in the 1st half when the Bears go on an amazing run, 10 unanswered goals to lead 12-9 and eventually win 12-11. During the time that Brown was scoring 10 straight, Princeton went 37 minutes without scoring a goal, until Sears popped in two within a minute with 10:42...

Really only two for me today:

#12 Notre Dame at #4 Syracuse at noon on ACC Network on WatchESPN

#2 Maryland at #7 JMU at 12:30 on Madizone online

Not wanting the casual fan? That's how the sport dies . . . you always have to want to grow the audience . . . otherwise #GrowTheGame is MEANINGLESS! I'm not saying I don't want the casual fan, I'm just not sure I'm in a hurry for it to happen. I think women's lacrosse is enjoying a pre-golden age ...

I didn't realize at the time of the change in goal for BC how much more the Eagles could improve at this key position. They got taller in goal--Ngai is 5'7" where Daly is 5'3". Abbey seems much more aggressive than Daly was. She has seemed to make bigger saves than Daly did. Obviously, AWW...

And...we have an announcer who will not permit more than three seconds of empty air. 8-5 BC at the half. Good game. 14-8 BC Final. Pretty impressive road win for the Eagles. There really isn't anyone better than BC's No. 2. I didn't see a 6 goal difference coming. BC was in control pretty much the ...

I tweeted this to a number of different parties who were involved in broadcasting the game: "Camerawork is subpar, so far. Why are you using such a wide frame? Why is the focus generally so far away from the action?  Why so far away on the draw? And why no replays? How can you have no replays? ...

In the Navy/MD case brought up by the Nut above, if Whittle was carded, then the ball would have turned over to Navy and they would be playing even strength...Would that affect the outcome, who knows? I agree, if the call was reversed, (or even not made at all) would it have affected the outcome of...

Oh wow, thanks, wlax, didn't realize it's a Sunday game thought it was today. Whole new ball game, big turn around in the weather, high in the 50s and sunny (predicted). Welcome to CNY. You are most welcome, DMac. The game was originally scheduled for today, but was moved to tomorrow in light of th...

NJBill, DrT, DMAC sorry for the late reply but this is my first opportunity. All your points are well taken and for anybody who's seen enough of the women's game knows that participants often embellish the affects of body contact. I don't know if it's taught or just learned behavior but consider wh...

Well, unfortunately the weather people weren't wrong, that CBA field is covered with a few inches of snow this morning. Predicted temps of upper 20s with 20+mph winds for game time. Not an ideal day for a wlax game. If it's possible I'd rather see them postpone this one and play it on a more spring...

Watched the Penn State-Maryland game last night on the ESPN3 replay, and thought the game was never in doubt. I did think Maryland looked "not so sharp" and assume weather had at least something to do with it. The rain was pretty unrelenting. But the Terps' shooting was poor (and here, I ...

We all know this is the premier matchup today. The #1 BC Eagles travel to North Carolina to play the #3 Tarheels in a major ACC clash. The weather is supposed to be sunny in the 50's at Chapel Hill. This one starts at noon on the ACC Network on WatchESPN. Other notable games today: 11:30am #16 Flori...

I think they have a chance against Syracuse, because of the change in venue, and because Syracuse is the least of those three teams. I will not choose against the Orange, or my buddy from Liverpool will be unhappy with me. But Cuse will have to play well. Agreed. If Syracuse holds form, they should...

The frosh lioness GK is protecting her den with paw like quickness, pretty tough to enter it. Md 7-4 at the half....could easily be a much greater disparity in the scoring but for the feline like GK for the Cat's. Hartshorn's btb goal, nothing but pretty. A borderline dangerous shot? Second half co...

'Nuff said.

Yep! That there’s the humdinger of the whole weekend!

The Irish will be meeting the Orange outside at CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ACADEMY due to the women's ACC hoops tourney being played in the Dome...gotta pretty much consider that a neutral site. Yeah—it’s a drag too because no TV or webcast because of the change in venue. Correction: The game is listed as ...
