Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Here's a quick rundown of today's games
Duke vs Penn
The Duke defense is currently ranked 22nd nationally on an opponent-adjusted basis. But it's a tough ranking to parse because when you look at non-garbage time, they are 43rd. So the defense has been great in games that were out of hand and less great in the tight games.
<div class='lr-embed-div' ... Read More
Virginia vs Syracuse
So far, Syracuse is making 2021 look at lot like a blip rather than a trend. As good as the offense as last year, they've been better so far in 2022. The defense went from a 32.6% opp-adjusted defensive efficiency last year to 25.6% this year (18th in the country). ... Read More
Drexel vs Albany
When we last saw Drexel in 2021, they were giving a serious scare to Notre Dame in the NCAA 1st round. They've since started the 2022 season with losses to UMBC (slight upset) and Lafayette (huge upset). So what happened to Drexel over the off-season?

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Here's a quick rundown of some of the finals
Duke vs Penn
I know of no better way to score goals than to get shots on net. If you don't have shots getting to the keeper, you won't have shots getting past the keeper. For teams that want to score more goals, they should simply shoot more shots. I'm being facetious of ... Read More
Penn State vs Yale
Prior to today, Penn State had allowed 65 goals across 4 games. 31 of those came on the 2nd or later shot of a possession. In their 3 losses, they were allowing 1.38 shots/possession. Since those 2nd chances were turning into goals at such a high rate, it made ... Read More
Delaware vs Monmouth
One of the more surprising early season trends has been the Delaware offense out-performing their marks from last season without the services of Charlie Kitchen. I see 2 things that have happened. The first is that Mike Robinson has showed that he is much more than a ... Read More
Brown vs Vermont
Brown? Speed? You betcha. The Bears average first shot in this game came after just 18.5 seconds of possession. That's fast.
Also of note: the play of Matt Gunty winning 13 faceoffs against Tommy Burke. Gunty had a less-than-stellar game against UNC, but bounced back in a ... Read More

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
I don't know that this is the proper place to pose what may seem like a dumb question so my apologies in advance if it ain't so:
For years whenever a team goes on attack and the defense is adjusting, the TV/online announcer would say it has come into an "unsettled situation". For the past couple of years or so, it appears that this term is no longer being used. Can anyone explain why?

I'm doing a ranking for the first time this year with the College Crosse guys. The model takes into account the Elo ratings for each team and their SOR ratings as well. Here's what I've got after this weekend's games.

Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Serious question, how do you have the time, resources, and even access to watch and do the analytics for all of these games. Stuff like this exists for football like PFF, but they literally employ tons of people. The level of support needed for 30+ games per week must be tremendous.laxreference wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:37 pm Here's a quick rundown of some of the finals

Time?
I quit my job last February to start LacrosseReference, LLC, so in terms of work-time, I'm 100% focused on this. As for a team? Zero, it's just me and my robots. Here's the full story if you are interested.
Resources?
The LacrosseReference project is 6 years old at this point (crazy to say that out loud), and I've put thousands of hours into building systems that collect and process the raw data for me so that there isn't a ton of manual work that needs to be done to prepare the underlying statistics. I've also worked on building tools so that I can analyze a game or player and come up with something valuable to add to the discussion without having to do a ton of manual research time.
I did use the money from early PRO site subscriptions to buy a 2nd used laptop to help me do the live stats win probability processing. When it was just one laptop, that thing was getting white hot. I don't love the multiple monitors on our kitchen counter every weekend, but so far, the dam is holding.
Access?
People might hate this or at least be surprised, but I am able to watch very little actual lacrosse (I have three kids under 6 after all). If it wasn't automated, LacrosseReference wouldn't exist. One day, I hope to be able to sit back and actually watch a full Saturday slate; but not yet. But for now, pretty much everything I do is based on the robots pulling play-by-play and turning it into stats/tables/graphs that I work off of.
Thanks again. Glad to know I'm the PFF of lacrosse with 1/1000 of their resources!

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
100%. We'll get a good sense of if the league is really "back" after the Cornell/OSU game and next weekend in general. Love this time of year though, feels like we are going to get a lot of "something's gotta give" games between top teams.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:27 amWill be interesting to see if there’s 4 ivies in the top 13 in a few weeks.laxreference wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 9:05 am I'm doing a ranking for the first time this year with the College Crosse guys.

Not the original poster, but I really ike this list too. What stood out to me: No Syracuse in top 20. Jacksonville in top 10. Delaware at 12. Notre Dame at 15.

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
My philosophy is a) don't over-react to much to the most recent results (Elo is about half the model at this point, and it's a relatively slow moving algorithm) and b) use the full season's results (Strength-of-Record is the other half) so that we aren't glossing over stuff that didn't happen last weekend too much.rolldodge wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 11:21 amNot the original poster, but I really ike this list too.

Since this is the first time I've done a weekly ranking, I'm still working on the balance between the two. For example, I tweaked the SOR weight up a bit when the first run had Loyola ranked this week.

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Here's a quick rundown of today's games
Cornell vs Ohio State
Cornell is going to take a step back. They are losing a generational talent in Jeff Teat. They haven't played in 2 years. We are all familiar with the reasons that the Ivies would be struggling in 2022. At least for Cornell, the reason those arguments failed to materialize is ... Read More
Georgetown vs Princeton
A classic immovable object vs unstoppable force matchup here. Georgetown is the #1 opponent-adjusted defense. Princeton is the #2 opponent-adjusted offense. Ok, that's not quite fair. Georgetown is currently the 6th rated offense, the 4th rated faceoff team and McElroy in net has ranked 2nd in the early going.
So ... Read More
Notre Dame vs Maryland
This feels like a do-or-die game for Notre Dame. The Irish hung tough with Georgetown and wiped the field with Detroit. The offense has been good so far, but the defense and faceoff units struggled against the Hoyas. Despite the spurt in the 3rd quarter, Notre Dame barely sniffed ... Read More

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Here's a quick rundown of some of the finals
Cornell vs Ohio State
It seems weird to say, but Ohio State was relatively successful taking care of the ball against Cornell today. Coming in, the Big Red had forced turnovers on 47% of their opponents' offensive possessions. Today, OSU turned it over on 40%.
Understandably, that isn't going to come as much consolation ... Read More
Michigan vs Delaware
Michigan and Delaware entered the game with fairly similar offensive profiles. Michigan was 14th in adjusted offensive efficiency. Delaware was 16th.
Delaware had the 11th best shooting percentage; the Wolverines were 13st. On turnovers, they were 11th and 14th.
The biggest difference was pacing; Michigan preferred to go faster, with their ... Read More
Georgetown vs Princeton
In my preview, I noted that a thing to watch in this game is what happens in the last 20 seconds of the shot clock when Princeton has the ball.

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Whatever happened to those Monday morning rankings of individual players who added the most to a team's win, or loss even. I used to love those rankings as it gave us a little sense of who was the Tewy favorite.
Of course when I last saw them TDLerlan was #1 every week with his incredible Face off %.
Is it possible to bring those back?
