LaxPower Back-Up Stick

This is McNaney's first season coming back from a full blown ACL tear. Some grace and caveats are probably needed there. He's had some struggles for sure, he's also had a lot of highs this year. Here's his save percentage by month February (4 gms): 59% March (5 gms): 42% April (3 gms): 64% The Penn...

As HopFan16 said, face-offs. Maryland won 21 of 24 in the Terps-Tigers game earlier this year. Princeton has improved a lot since that game, and McKeekin has looked strong in some games; the Tigers need to neutralize Wierman to have a realistic chance of winning. need to put it in perspective thoug...

Feels like last season. A younger, hungrier, more athletic team and more offensively talented team wins in CP again.

Why?

Clearly the BTN doesn't know or care about the lacrosse wire; OSU, PSU and Michigan football pay the bills. One or 2 weeks ago BTN had a headline about McNaney being player of the week like 2 weeks after he actually was. So it seems like they trust that headline news scroll to an intern. That said, ...

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. SJU is probably the only real upset. Michigan, PSU and Princeton...

You all will be smiling next week when the young, exciting Princeton squad runs Maryland off the field. But that doesn't justify the argument put forth here; Maryland deserved the bid over all the unselected teams. Everyone knew that was going to happen. It worked in their favor 2 years ago and impl...

Given some of the bracket projections (MD at 7 or 6), consider me surprised. I know the committee looks at the whole season and not just the last 2, but looking ahead, does the team have the confidence to win? On one hand, Tills' scheduling made it possible to be in this position. On the other hand...

Imagine having Sowers and O'Neill on the same team, and still not being competitive when it mattered

Dang this Notre Dame team is great. No idea how they lost to Gtown at home, but I'm they got one so they stay out of the GOAT conversation with the '22 Terps.

Nope. And every top seed is happy about it.

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. It would be fun (assuming Maryland can score a goal or 2). Lots of teams have exorcised their demons against the Terps the last 2 years; this is a perfect time for either Towson or Gtown to br...

With Teams like Virginia and Maryland on the downswing, and results like yesterday's Big Ten final, we could be in for a very unorthodox and interesting final four this year. There could be a number of first round matchups where the unseeded team is the favorite. Yeah, depends on where UVA gets see...

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...

Tell me again why UVA is such an automatic? Yea, I get the RPI, but don’t you at least have to win some of those games, and not just play them? Wins against umd (do we know what they are , btw, from a quality perspective?), Harvard (didn’t make the Ivy tourney) and Mich (who before the Big10 tourne...

So the win against Michigan should count less?

Not according to the selection criteria and metrics, but it's possible

On the bright side the past 2 years haven’t been bad years to be down. ND basically has dominated - look at UVA, I guarantee they started the season with Natty in full mind, what do you think they are thinking now. My point a team like UVA with complete studs will most likely be watching on Memoria...
