Gotta love how the announcers for the Hop /Michigan game didn’t know it was sudden death overtime and felt the double OT game winner was anti-climatic. We have to be better than this during tournament time. It’s so amateurish. they are STUDENT announcers. but they should have been prepared. I wasn'...

With the two upsets in the Big Ten today ( Hop over Michigan, Rutgers over Maryland) , Syracuse and BC must be elated. It looks like the winner of that game should be the 2 seed in the NCAAs and the loser in the top 4 or 5. Where does that leave Maryland who now has 5 losses and Michigan who’s now ...

Thursday, May 2 (Semifinals at Martin Stadium, Evanston, Ill.) 1 p.m. (BTN) Northwestern vs. Johns Hopkins 3:30 p.m. (BTN) Penn St vs. Rutgers Saturday, May 4 (Championship at Martin Stadium, Evanston, Ill.) 5:30 p.m. (BTN) Of course I'll be rooting for Penn State so Northwestern can revenge kick th...

Sorry ass Maryland. All the stories of their decline and loss of blue chip recruits are proving more and more true as each loss accrues. So glad to hear the quiet from Twerp nation. And now Rutgers, who came into College Park at 7-9--whose best win before today was what--Army? Georgetown? Ohio State...

Wow--10 bell save by Sophia Cardello with 15 seconds to go. Maryland calls timeout with possession.

Another save--this time with 8 seconds to go. And Rutgers steps on the Turtle to advance to the semifinals.

Cassidy Spilis just manhandled that caused turnover from Leubecker. And the Scarlet Knights take a 2 goal lead with less than 3 minutes to go. Then Leubecker makes up for the turnover by scoring less than a minute later. 9-8 Rutgers with less than 2 to go.

Rutgers wins the draw.

I have absolutely no faith Rutgers will hold on to this slim 8-7 lead with 6:22 left in the 4th, but then again, these ain't yer granpappy's Terps, and teams ain't afeard to win at College Park anymore. We shall see...

8-7 Rutgers halfway through the 4th.

Super Gutsy goal by Bailey Cheetham to win it for Hop in OT.

Hop gets possession and calls timeout after an expired shot clock which Michigan squandered half of (for what reason I'll never know). Just non chalantly stood around for 40 seconds or so before the offense even started passing the ball around.

You said it. I had Michigan pronounced dead twice in this game, and yet here we are about to start overtime.

Maryland has tied Rutgers at 5 late in the 3rd quarter.

Incredibly--Michigan has come all the way back to tie it at 9. Hop possession after winning the draw and the quickly called timeout. :56 left in the 4th.

9-6 now. Hop has their confidence back. No comeback this time. Under 5 minutes left now.

Hop scores a nice one to stop the bleeding. 8-6 with under 6 minutes left now. Still a big hole to climb out of for Blue.

Sterling back in goal for Maryland to start the 3rd quarter.

7-6 now and the Blue Jays have to be shaking in their cleats at the prospect of blowing yet another lead over Michigan. 7 minutes to go in the 4th.

Signs of life from Ann Arbor. Hop up 7-4 with under 11 minutes left in the 4th.

Meanwhile on the field hockey turf at College Park, Rutgers leads 5-3 at the half. Julia Hammerschlag in goal for the Terps since Sterling went down.

There's nothing mischaracterized in YOUR QUOTES. Yes, there's chocolate on your face. All done, not playing your denial game anymore. For the record--these are my quoted comments on the Treanor hire from June 2021--verbatim: Syracuse will not claim Excalibur while Treanor is at the helm. The clamor...

Hop up 4-0 late in the 2nd quarter at Michigan. I would actually welcome playing Hop (if they hang on) over Michigan for a change (being a Northwestern fan). Michigan is too tough of a grind lately. I'd rather have an easier opponent in the Blue Jays for next weeks semifinal. Blue jays definitely t...
