Can we get a PLT discussion going on. For instance, who would we rather see as a 2 seed- Lehigh or BU? Personally Lehigh as the 2 with BU as the 3 and Army as 4. As the No 1 seed, assuming we beat Lafayette Friday. we then play the LOWEST remaining seed of the quarters so the possibility would be seeds 4-6. No. 2 seed team takes on the highest remaining seed after the Quarters so they're options are 3-5. In hindsight, if Lehigh wins against HC this weekend, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY we can see BU again at least until the finals. Root for Lehigh to beat HC to make this happen. And also Navy to beat BU just for good measure.
IF all this works, and lets say BU makes it to the final, they will play 3 games in a span of 6 days. Every team in the country would be gassed at that point.
Finally lax reference updated their bracketology.
With a win at lafayette, loyola has a 96.6% chance of making the NCAA.
Win in the PL SF. 99.0% with 88% of hosting a first round NCAA game.
Lose in the PL SF 82.3% with a 29.2% chance of hosting a first round game
Obviously win the PLT and host is the goal. Lets go boys
BU will demolish Navy. Navy is woeful. If you are waiting on Navy to suddenly become a good squad, do not hold your breath, houndace. They are truly not a good team. Good FOGO and a good goalie, but their offensive sets are painful to watch. Whoever coaches their offense apparently has no idea that a shot clock is in force; I've never seen a D1 team so oblivious to the shot clock. They pass the ball around the perimeter with zero ISO dodging, until about 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Just painful to watch. They and Hopkins need coaching changes yesterday.
Lehigh will have a much harder time with Holy Cross, who are good. That should be a tight affair.
If both win, then Lehigh is #2 and BU 3, which really doesn't do much even if you interchange them, tbh. It doesn't matter much which role they end up in. Here's my call; we stunk the bed against BU...let's play them and get revenge. I will cheer for that eventuality, which I think will happen anyway, because at that stage the Hounds ought to be in good form barring any injuries.
I hate to overlook any team, and Lafayette surely has zero to lose by headhunting against the Hounds. I really want the Hounds to come out firing on Friday, and keep firing, subs and all, until the last whistle.
