Complete meltdown. As bad a second half I've seen them play since Lars was hired.

Looks like they will get another shot at ND next week though.

Yale's loss takes them out of the RPI top 10 and puts Georgetown in in their place, giving the Jays four top 10 wins. Up to #2 in RPI after Duke's loss. If Virginia beats Notre Dame today, the Blue Jays will have a case for the top seed headed into the final weekend.

Duke vs. UNC — we want UNC to win, though I cannot see that happening. Welp, nevermind! This result increases the Jays' seed ceiling. #1 or #2 is in play. Michigan first on Thursday. They looked good today. OSU is 11-18 the last two years with four losses to Michigan. Myers is under contract for a ...

Heels playing with a lot of energy. Duke looks like their controller disconnected

With Towson entering the RPI top 20 last night, for the time being, the Jays have a whopping eight top 20 wins. That's two more than the next closest team (Notre Dame). It's also four more than Denver and five more than Syracuse, who lost one of theirs when Colgate fell out of the top 20. All of tha...

Any ranking that includes scoring margin should be taken with a big heaping of salt. Not saying it's worthless, but I'm very skeptical. Not only do final scores often belie the tenor of the actual game but lacrosse seasons are so short than one or two lopsided results have an outsized effect on the ...

Man who cares about the poor Merrimack kid's future. He'll be fine. No one is saying to throw him in jail. If he is contrite and makes an effort to do and be better then there's no reason this will ruin his life. But the behavior needs to be removed from the sport entirely. Zero tolerance. From what...

If Hopkins is seeded ahead of Cuse it's because they will have a lot more quality wins. Right now they have 7 to Cuse's 4. Is having three more wins and the higher RPI enough to overcome the areas where Cuse has the advantage? (e.g. the H2H, not having a "bad loss"). Reasonable people can...

Ross Scott over Angelus for 1st team All-B1G might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my entire life, and I've seen a lot of DocB and jhu06 posts. Scott (13 games): 19 G, 23 A, 42 pts (3.2 per game), 26% shooting Angelus (13 games): 22 G, 33 A, 55 pts (4.2 per game), 52% shooting When the two t...

I was being tongue-in-cheek, but truthfully it is ridiculous. Maybe there's something going on that I'm missing, but the whole list makes no sense. On the first team you have 3 A, 3 D, 2 G, 1 FOGO and 1 M? And not a single defensive midfielder (LSM or SSDM)? And on the second team you have 3 M, 1 L...

Big Ten left Szuluk off their all conference lists even though he has more player of the week honors than anyone and gave the goalie of the 6th place team the freshman of the year award over Kilrain. Dixon better have answers and condemnations. You're not going to get anything from Dixon. He was th...

In 2016 Rutgers beat Hopkins twice, but Hopkins got the bid and Rutgers didn't Rutgers had the #20 RPI, two bad losses, and those wins over Hopkins were their only quality wins.

The Jays are 8th in the country in turnovers per game. 15 TOs isn't bad in the shot clock era. That's better than the vast majority of teams' season averages. It was only about one above the Jays' season average of 13.9. The only tournament team with a better mark (barely) is Notre Dame at 13.6. Doc...

Ierlan might be a 1st team all american Who wants to chip in to fund the Gianfacaro NIL? I'm good for $20. It's an interesting question. I haven't heard anything, but it would seem like the Jays make sense on paper but will be competing with a few other teams (if the decision isn't made already, it...
