LaxPower Back-Up Stick

I agree that Lyght was playing Shellenberger pretty well, but do you really want a first year man who hadn’t done much all day or a big middie whose game is overpowering smaller defensive players but who was struggling to key the possession? That possession took me back a generation to a game at Ru...

Coach Morgan built a program that was mid D2 into dominance. Mack has been hamstrung by silly NCAA and conference restrictions about opting up a division. They have been scrapping and clawing for relevance. The man can coach. His teams play tough, with a chip on their shoulders. If anyone saw their...

imo, georgetown needs one more ooc squad they know is gonna finish top 20. for now loyola's inside that, and penn, nd, jhu you can count on. as well as they've fared at times, richmond, high point, can't be considered what you might need if they all don't hit numbers in a given year. you already hav...

I also think kicking the kid off is a bit extreme. Imagine throwing around slurs directed at Native Americans at a lacrosse game, of all things. I'd have kicked him off my team for being such an unbelievable f/ckwit. I mean, seriously?!? Candidly Id like to hear more about what the athletics depart...

Christian Swezey over the weekend had an interesting metric for attackmen (he credited the idea as partly coming from Marc Van Arsdale of Loyola): add Goals, assists, ground balls, and caused turnovers and then subtract turnovers. Swezey’s post had the arithmetic totals, which would be dependent in...

IL has denver and cuse over hopkins in bracketology even though all of Hopkins other metrics and stats are better solely because of head to head. More clown stuff. Notion that the top team in the 2nd best conference would be a 5 seed behind a 3rd place team and a conference champ of the 4th best co...

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...

Do the Terps make the tournament if we lose our next game? Which makes me ask does UVA get in with possibly dropping their last 5? Both teams get in. None of the lower at-large teams have as many good wins as these guys. It's the benefit of playing brutal schedules and winning plenty of them I am n...

I thought about bringing this point up a few weeks ago, and maybe it's a conversation for its own thread, but I really do not see any benefit to the ACC tourney for the 4 teams playing in it this year (Assuming UNC doesn't knock off Duke as I think they technically have a path where they could stil...

Such a great year for NCAA lacrosse, I almost wish that there was a "NIT" style tournament for teams that don't make the NCAA cut. No doubt that the top 5-10 teams are legit for this May, but the 10-30 squads are possibly just a couple of goals from The Show AND scaring someone. As a Corn...

Anyone know what exactly happened? here's for all the world what LOOKED like happened, especially in light of the instagram post: haudenosaunee amos whitcomb had a real problem with what #16 merrimack said to him at the faceoff. he jawed at him back, and the rest was just a tangential kerfuffle. it...

I, too, think SU should defer giving #22 to a freshman(I know, no one asked me). Perhaps that was the lure to get him to SU, but I doubt it. Otherwise, I like Joey's game and the fact that he draws the opponents #1 pole and the accompanying pressure as it frees up his teammates. Most #1 poles want ...

Have complimented Cuse - staff and players - multiple times for returning to prominence, etc this year, but, the daily posts from Cuse fanatics demanding we all genuflect to the mastery of their attackmen is beyond annoying. He's an excellent player, no doubt, and no fair minded fan should say diff...
