UNC downunda and out.
Good game (Va got screwed out of a goal too).

Terrible call. Terrible.
Immediately followed up with a bad card by Larry on the BTB. Neither stick nor ball hit any defender.

Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
Barn burner right now. About to put the kibosh on them but I’m feeling Clemson gonna upset.
Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
you never know in playoffs anything can happen. That said ND will win, but Clemson is giving them a game.
Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
They had them in March and gave that game away albeit terrible weather. That 5 goal run with three mins left in the second half is gonna sink them today.

Is this Kimel’s last game?

I thought I read on some thread here that she had announced next year was her last. Am I wrong?

Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
As much as I enjoy the LaMonica Cavs, they'll lose to Syracuse tomorrow. They're probably loving life and celebrating their win over the Powder Blue Crew and will have trouble duplicating the effort. (I hope they prove me wrong). Syracuse on the other hand wants more than just a semifinal appearance. We'll see Ginny in the NCAA's though--not a bad bet to make it to Super Quarterfinals Day depending on the draw they get.
Did anyone else find themselves almost driven to bang their heads against the wall during the Ginny/Heels broadcast with the number of times Jay Alter regurgitated info on the winning streaks/losing streaks between the two teams? I guess the producer was fine with hearing Alter repeat himself insufferably multiple times. Alter's awkward and ill-timed attempts to involve Charlotte North in the game broadcast as a sideline reporter were also irritating. So, down went the sound. I find he adds zero to any broadcast he calls.

Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
Predictions for semifinal games?
Syracuse vs Virginia
Syracuse is my team but exciting to see what Virginia is doing this year! Esp with all the freshman.
I think Virginia will give the Orange a good fight but Cuse will go on a scoring streak that the Hooooos won't be able to make up the deficient for.
15-9?
Notre Dame vs Boston College
I wish Notre Dame could pull this one out but I think Boston College is stronger.. as a defensive unit, strategy on the attacking side and coaching. They just have more tournament experience and Notre Dame may be a bit more burnt out.
12-8?

Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
Will be a very interesting decision by committee. Duke has a MUCH better win (uva) than any of the other bubble teams, but has also looked outclassed by teams like nd, cuse and bc. If you define bubble as rpi 20-30, then they have by far the best win of any team in that group other than penn state. USC, brown, Harvard, Colorado and umass have beaten no top 20 rpi teams. Holy cross beat Fairfield. Drexel beat navy and Penn state.
Navy and clemson both beat duke… but nobody else.
Penn state was in this situation (30+ rpi but a great win) a few years ago and got included.
If I had to bet, I’d bet on them sitting this tourney out. Rpi plus a very unimpressive stretch of games against bc (twice), unc and nd…..
Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
A close game favors UVA. They have two one goal losses, 3 one goal wins, and 3 two goal wins. They’ve played a lot of close games and a close game favors them. However if Cuse can pull away I see them winning.HailMaryPass wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 3:05 pm Predictions for semifinal games?

I think BC wins the other game, but it’s close. BC has a history of peaking late (not sure they are peaking right now though) and ND has a history of choking. I think ND has played better the entire season, so we will see.
Re: ACC Tournament - Seeds, schedule and thoughts
The way Duke lost games hurts them. Crushed by BC (twice) and ND. Especially since their most recent game was a 14 goal loss, I could see (and hope) they sit this NCAA tournament out.Womenslaxxfan wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 3:58 pmWill be a very interesting decision by committee.

I'm going UVA by 1. No hate on cuse, they're an amazing team, just think they have a tendency to be undisciplined in the big moments and the Hoos looked very hungry during the quarters. Not convinced UVA's defense can hold though, very curious to watch if Lamonica makes any adjustments.
BC by 3 or 4. Agreed re experience and better coaching. Plus I have a definite BC bias so will never bet against them

Anyone else think Duke looked like a good high school team in the second half last night?

Syracuse over UVA 15-14.
BC over Notre Dame 13-12.
Can't wait.
