I think that some other coaches (and maybe some TV/media types) at this point fully believe Tillman is kind of witch doctor or voodoo doctor. Yesterday might not have been Tillman's most important win, but it might have been his greatest win. Pure magician. TerpTalk posted some videos from yesterday...

I think it's about time for Matt "Nepotism Hire" Danowski and his man breasts to actually go fend for himself for the first time in his life. Daddy hired him right at the end of their 2011-2014 run and we have had to watch him completely waste the undisputed most talented offensive pool o...

For a program that regularly plays in the Final Four, this squad should be extra proud. It's been a battle all season, and that offense has been aesthetically pleasing for one game. Overcoming that deficit and those turnovers to ultimately beat the fight out of a much more talented team is pretty i...

Congrats to the Terps and good luck next week. Since no one mentioned him, I just wanted to recognize redshirt Freshman George Stamos #54 who is playing more and more often at d mid. The Terps will have him for 3 more years and he'll be a leader for most of that time. A great young man. Future All-...

I'd prefer to play JHU next weekend. I think we match up a lot better against them. There's also something really fun about rematching against them in the loser-go-home setting. If UVA wins, maybe running Malever and Erksa through the box will negate UVA's length at close, even if they bump another ...

What's funny to me is that this wasn't very hard to see coming. 4 of their 5 losses coming in to the game were really bad. If you spend all of your time listening the ESPN/ACCN guys, maybe you get how people might think that this team was a title contender. This isn't me being a Maryland homer. When...

During the game, I couldn't tell what the Duke staff was so upset about. The presser shed some light on it.

Saying that Tills bumped into one of his players and being on the field isn't a good look for the sport...whoooo....

Dino was not happy about replay, and he had some comments about how Maryland reacted...including how Tillman reacted. The IL write up of the game has Dino's quote, too.

A lot of ppl expected Cuse to get upset last week and they didn't. Now this week same thing Cuse will be upset. Denver is a good team but inconsistent. Which Denver team shows up? They have a chance if they bring their best but that might not even be enough. SU can score and not sure Denver can mat...

Keeping it close in the 2Q was huge, agreed. Duke is a great front runner, and they wait for their opponent to quit. But if the opponent hangs around, and punches back, they're not a problem solving team. Luke winning the FOs, Mac making saves (and offense did play well in the 2Q....when they didn'...

Whittier's skip pass to Maltz was just a thing of beauty. It gave me flashbacks to Kyle Long. Having Whittier getting some confidence back is huge. He's a guy who can beat defenders. He played well against Princeton and carried it over today. You also can't underestimate the effect of scoring will h...

I wasn't surprised by this. Had the Terps winning 15-12 in a preview. It's not surprising that Jesse sent Ajax to Zawada. The last 2 years, Makar always took the bull dodger so Ajax could erase the opponents' distributor. Make the other team 1 dimensional. Disrupting McAdorey was also crucial, and h...

If Duke had any lax fans they'd be apoplectic right now The stands today had maybe two handfuls of Duke fans. Maryland had not simply an entire section of supporters who made the trip, but unquestionably the top parking lot tailgate. Not sure who owns the million dollar RV with Terp flags, but that...

O'Neill, McAdorey & Zawada total: 3 goals and 1 assist. That's brilliant defensive scheming. Carc was fine overall, but it was funny that he kept harping on Zap's not taking O'Neill thing all day. Not sure he ever mentioned McAdorey (2nd team all american) and Zawada (HM all american) being com...

You could see the experience down to the end of the game. Nobody seemed to panic. Syracusa just kept going after all his turnovers. Didn’t let it get to him. They’re gonna to have to play deep into the roster (Brennan, Stobaugh, etc.) to go all the way. Whittier had a great game. Brennan seeing one...

I have heard of a very recognizable name threatening to hit the portal, if he doesnt get more NIL. I am not going to say the name, but something I wasnt really expecting to see in lacrosse. PLL makes 50-80K. What should college player get? In 2022 PLL rookies signed 3 year contracts for $25K/year, ...

Being a Division I athlete, even in “non-revenue” sports, is a demanding role. They deserve the compensation that the market offers them. For the traditionalists out there … I get your disdain for this new world. But there is no turning back the clock. DocBarrister i would say D3 and some D2 kids a...

Deemer Class put together a nice video on how Maryland's offense shredded Princeton.

So I'd say the selection and seeding protocol worked perfectly this year. Nobody ever wants to congratulate the system, but it worked. Maybe you can argue amongst the seeds? Patrick Stevens last night mentioned that if all the seeds win, it would be the first time since 2004 that the bracket went s...

Not surprised by this result whatsoever. Penn State came out firing, but people need to realize that Georgetown is built different this year. So much for Penn State being better at every position and winning by five goals I guess? Not really interested in grave dancing, but very typical for Georget...
