Zero talk of Lehigh.
The likelihood of the Engineers being 10 and 0
heading into the Patriot League tournament
is very high.
That is all.
Carry on.
Oh, and BTW, Lehigh was 5 - 1 last year.

Let me think- I'm 18-21 years old and I've been told I can't socialize and interact with anyone outside my team's bubble since last Fall.
My team is 2-4 with two more games to play and with no chance of making the league tournament- oh and the women's team is in the exact same boat. What would I do?

Re: Patriot League
What a crap way of setting up the tournament. And b/c Army/Navy play every year for the past 100 hundred years, this game is also weighted against both of them ... being on opposite sides of the PL divisionMatnum PI wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 1:26 pm MEN'S LACROSSE
The Patriot League's nine men's lacrosse programs will be split into two divisions for the 2021 season. Army West Point, Boston University, Colgate and Holy Cross will play in the North Division, and Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola Maryland and Navy will play in the South Division. Teams will play each divisional opponent at least once with limited games against non-divisional opponents. A minimum of seven League games will be played by each team.
The League schedule is set to begin on Saturday, March 6, concluding on Saturday, April 24, with a built-in makeup date planned for Saturday, May 1. The 2021 Patriot League Men's Lacrosse Championship is scheduled to begin with the semifinal round on Friday, May 7, followed by the championship game on Sunday, May 9.
A team like BU gets a lock by only having to play Army (who was the only challenge on that side of bracket this year)...no Lehigh, np Navy, or no Loyola Splitting the league in half is fine, but they did it by logistics....BU floats in to the PL tournament.
And now with BU having no more games (HC Shut down) a Team like Navy should be able to bump BU if Navy beats ARMY this weekend...leaving Navy and BU with the same PL record of 3-2, with Lafayette still remaining, which could put Navy at 4-2....ahead of BU. But for some reason the PL website shows BU as "Clinched".

Re: Patriot League
I heard last evening that PL Tournament would add two more teams to provide a 6 team tournament and which would address this imbalance.
I consider the source good. I'm not sure about the info. It would be a very fast turnaround rule and policy wise with winners and losers but it would make sense to me ....why not? Everything else this season has been abnormal.

I heard that there has been an uptick in cases in Lewisburg and that the Bisons may be packing it in.
Re: Patriot League
Just heard that Navy will play Loyola in the first round. That seems fair and I don't relish the thought of playing three games in a weekend but let's all be thankful we are playing lacrosse at all.
PS. Loyola will beat Navy. Last game left a bad taste in their mouth. And I hope they play at Navy so fans can attend.

Because the first Loyola-Navy game was the divisional game, that will still likely give Loyola a better div record than Navy, yielding seedings of :
1. Lehigh
2. Army
3. BU
4. Loyola
5. Navy
6. Colgate
That would put the Loyola-Navy game at Ridley.
Hopefully, CBSSN or ESPN+ will cover the first round games.

I see, Lehigh Army get a bye, and 3 4 5 6 are for
the elimination games.

Re: Patriot League
Nothing yet about expanding back to a 6 team tourney on the PL or Navy web sites.
So far, still an internet rumor.

Re: Patriot League
Terry Foy tweet
Sources: The @PatriotLeague has voted to reinstate its Quarterfinal round for its men’s and women’s lacrosse tournaments. Women’s games will be played on Monday, May 3, men’s on Tuesday, May 4.
Seeding still TBD:

Re: Patriot League
What does this Navy Army game do for at large, AQ,
the Patriot league is now looking like the keystone
on how the final NCAA tournament make up shakes out.

Re: Patriot League
Does the Navy win today over Army and Cuse over UVA make a Patriot League At Large bud remote? Aside from Lehigh, I can’t see another Patriot team getting in unless they win out.
Re: Patriot League
Army’s still in cause of the Cuse win. And if they take care of business the rest of the way they’ll get in. Unless there’s a bid stealer in the PL, BE, or B1G....and the most likeliest of those very well may be NavyTopShelf585 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 8:29 pm Does the Navy win today over Army and Cuse over UVA make a Patriot League At Large bud remote?
