Maryland 2022

[Essexfenwick]

MD might be that team to beat UNC. Maybe even on Memorial day weekend.

If they put UMD in UNCs bracket for a quarter final or final 4… UNC will be worried. They only want to play UMD in the final because they know it will be a titanic battle.

Funny since Maryland didn’t want to play UNC this year - at all

That’s what makes UMD scary. The fear of the unknown and unmatched championship legacy.

How many current Terps have been to the Final Four? Seven? Championship weekend experience has been a major advantage to MD teams, and this version of the Terps has far, far less of it than in any other year in recent memory. MD is a good team and I think they have a solid chance of getting there, but I don't think they're going to beat a team that's better than them. Or if they do manage that, it won't be because they're Maryland and they have all this ~*~championship legacy~*~. It would be more on par with what BC did last year than what MD teams have done in the past. Things have changed a lot in the last few years. This team isn't special just because they have the Maryland flag plastered all over their jerseys.

I doubt it is intended as humor. It’s a pattern of bullying towards - again - college kids that try their best to win….pretty lame.

Sorry I upset the manicured, wine and cheese ACC set. Those footsteps must be concerning.

This ^^ was not addressed towards you but to ONW or whatever his screen name is .

Personally I would welcome a game with UNC and Maryland I think it would be great lacrosse . I just know that Reese did not want to play UNC this season so that was why I had made the previous comment .

Whatever the reason was for not scheduling the game, I hope it gets back on each team's OOC schedule next year.

Objectively…are we getting ahead of ourselves a bit talking about final fours for the Terps? Yes they are better this year. But one win against a quality opponent in the easiest schedule they have had in years? And that win on their home turf/silly surface that no other Lax team plays on. Let’s see if they win the Big10 tourney first before we anoint them as having re-arrived. My bet is they lose in the final if they even make it there. Maryland is relevant again, let’s just leave it at that.

BiG Ten is 6-2 vs the ACC this year.

Take a look at those eight games and tell me what you think. The top three teams in the ACC are 2-1...against Northwestern. Maryland hasn't played UNC, Syracuse, BC or Duke. Maryland is 1-0 against the ACC...because it played UVA, which is currently 8-8 and in the bottom half of the ACC.

I happen to like Maryland, Reese, Phipps, and the way they play. But the anointment of them as suddenly a sure thing final four or championship game team, having beaten a single good team this year, seems premature.

I’m just sayin that UNC had 2 tough games and Terps had 1 and play in a tougher conference below the top two in the conference.

Big ten 6-2 against the ACC.

I am doubtful that Maryland is playing in a tougher conference, top to bottom. That said, I think Maryland is a very good team. I take it the "tough games" for UNC didn't include the Northwestern team it beat 20-9, but that you are alluding to the Syracuse and BC games.

NW beat Syracuse. And Syracuse has lost players since.

That's true, but I still don't think this gets you where you think/say you are. Just my opinion.

Just for the record, I didn’t make the comment—the usage of the quotes got all messed up. But if you trace the names with comments, the choke comment here wasn’t mine.

Yea, you are. You’re just sticking to the facts that backfill the ditch of your thesis. I getcha.
