NU at JHU (GM 2)...NU

Hmmm, well, not to make things complicated but the original slate of games has already been picked. I was assuming the new games would be added before anyone made picks. That okay for this week? Plus, I think we want to keep ‘em just weekend games that could go either way. Does anyone really give JHU a chance against NU? Just some thoughts. What think ye?

No chance for JHU and no problem with guidelines.

You’re alright, LaxGuy. I don’t care what they say about you.

Joe, curious about a couple of things:

Why did you pick USC over BC (Note: I did too)?

Why go with Florida over Loyola? Based on Florida's performance against Carolina?

I think Syracuse beats SBU too; but I am wondering if SBU can score as many as you suggest here, after watching the smothering defense the Orange played against Loyola. I think maybe 15-8 or so.

Me neither, but I'm definitely not putting money down on the Hokies after their performance in Durham.

Joe, curious about a couple of things:

Why did you pick USC over BC (Note: I did too)? I am really high on USC this year, plus they will be coming off a game on tuesday against SB where as BC will be playing their first game of the season. Tough to open against USC with no games under your belt.

Why go with Florida over Loyola? Based on Florida's performance against Carolina? Yes, I was not impressed with Loyola at all, plus Florida has one of the best GK's in the nation in Reznick, she kept it respectable against UNC, plus I think Kavanaugh will win a lot of the draws...

I think Syracuse beats SBU too; but I am wondering if SBU can score as many as you suggest here, after watching the smothering defense the Orange played against Loyola. I think maybe 15-8 or so. That's probably more likely, knowing what I know about the Cuse program, I need them to prove to me they are not going to have a letdown in level of play on Saturday. The D looks awesome, but I thought so last year as well and they gave up 18 to The Seawolves...[/u]

Tue
USC at Stony Brook - USC -- better team than most people think, but will be close game.

Fri
USC at BC - USC -- see above
Duke at UNC - UNC
Michigan at Maryland (gm 1) - MD -- at home, bounce back game
NU at JHU (gm 1) - NU -- not close.

Sat
Stony Brook at Syracuse - SU -- too much firepower.
VT at Virginia - UVA -- close one

Sun
Florida at Loyola - Loyola -- figures some things out. Kavanaugh looks improved over last year, but Loyola wins a close one.
Michigan at Maryland (gm 2) - MD, hard to beat the same team twice in a weekend. MD by 1.
NU at JHU (gm 2) - NU

Yeah--I saw other folks picking all 10 games so I "jined up". In the end, no biggie.
I originally picked Virginia, then I had this thought: Virginia has a lot of young talent. Maybe the Hokie's outmaneuver the Cav's with craft or rough house. Something along those lines. Anyway, that's my thinking there.
I figure Michigan will adjust to whatever Maryland does against them in the first game to pull out a win in the rematch. Or visa versa. Either way, I think they split.

BC added a game to their schedule, announced Friday, that they will play Albany today (Tuesday) at 4pm.

*17 - I can't help myself sometimes.

Fri
USC at BC
Duke at UNC
Michigan at Maryland (gm 1)
NU at JHU (gm 1)

Sat
Stony Brook at Syracuse
VT at Virginia

Sun

Good luck, ladies and gents

The Stony Brook-USC game is on TV/streamed?
ACCNX has the BC-UA game listed (obviously postponed).

Okay, think I've got it, game is at noon on americaeast.tv.
Here's the link for those as inept as I am.

SB 15-9
(means SB comes into the Cuse game all kinds of fired up where the mob boy wannabe gets his asz handed to him by the Godfather)
