Let’s assume the rest of the field was settled and it came down to deciding between Notre Dame and Harvard — which I would wager there is a pretty high likelihood happened. * Both teams have 8-4 records. * Both teams have two top 10 RPI wins. * Harvard has a top 5 RPI win * Harvard has beaten 3 tea...

2 things can be true: 1. Notre Dame could likely beat anyone in the field this weekend 2. Notre Dame didn’t do enough to earn a tournament invite—they are 0-4 against teams that made the cut. One win against those and they’re in. I'm just not sure why 1 is the prevailing line of thinking given 2. T...

Lots of bravado. ND is -2.5 againt Harvard or brown ND is favored against EVERY team in field Other than Terps . Maybe pickem with Hoyas. Wishful thinking is great and cheering for your team is great. But Irish are a top 3 team today , anyone betting knows that. Let bookies set the field is at leas...

Justify this all you want. This was a joke and the whole lacrosse world outside of the Ivy knows it. Maybe we can just let the RPI decide the champ from now on. No wonder this sport gets bumped by softball for TV time. Pathetic. If it was based on RPI alone the ACC would have 3 teams I didn’t under...

What a disappointing season. Preseason top 10 to .500 record and not even playing in the PL championship game. Tons of talent and experience. How much of this is on the players and how much on the staff? A little of both. I thought the defense made a lot of the same mistakes all year so you know wh...

The slide discipline has been terrible. How many times are you going to leave the guy in position for the step down?

Enjoy today and all the fun leading up to the game, Loyola fans. Hopefully the lacrosse world will be exhausted and asleep, or out on the town, forgetting that there is lacrosse on Friday evening, so they miss the throttling Army is going to give us. I've looked at the numbers. I've looked at the r...

Just one game of good shooting, please

I don't post much anymore because it's largely irrelevant , but I have a few comments on the game last night. Savio dominated. Wing Play finally showed up. Middleton made some plays. Cheers for the ROPE UNIT!! Defense bent but didn't break. Shafer had a great save right before half - that was cruci...

So Lindsey was the only one who showed up Tuesday and he's not played today. Hurt? Discipline? Decided to transfer? Anyone know?

Am I to believe Matt Moore is not one of the top 16 attack-men in the country? Obviously these rankings don't mean much but I'm all for spirited debate ;) Moore absolutely has not been a top 16 attack man. He's had that type of career and has AA talent, but the production does not warrant AA consid...

Handley doesn't really come off the field for Penn so for me he's playing attack now.

Midfielders at attack. O-Mids at D-Mid. Standard stuff from IL.

It is mostly a good list tbf, but when you're THE outlet for the sport mistakes matter. The same as when Carc and Quint do their thing on TV. You guys are THE broadcast most weeks, what you say carries weight.

I agree a good steamroll would always help to get the mojo back. But at this point, just a win would do. Are you serious or just looking to complain about the team with the rest? I don't think you are remembering or evaluating so well. How we lost the games- Last year we were outclassed in a lot of...
