Re: ivy league 2024
I was hoping that Princeton Maryland was going to be the best game of Saturday, tough look for the Ivy League after everyone griping not enough teams got in.
I think Tillman also deserves a lot of credit; for a “down year” at Maryland they beat the crap out of a decent team in the first round and are looking dangerous at the right time.

Re: ivy league 2024
To all the trolls including the troll Hooz123 who are gloating against the Ivy League with Princeton's exit yesterday, I note that 4 Ivy League teams were in the top 14 RPI. If the tourney were chosen based upon the best teams with no AQs given, those Ivy teams would have been in. Then there's the long list of Ivy players populating tourney teams because Ivy rules precluded them from playing another year at an Ivy school. So the Ivy League is alive & well and once the transfer portal no longer has a lot of Ivy players on it, the other teams will no longer gain a benefit from the Ivy League's strict rules. So crawl back under your bridge.Hooz123 wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 9:56 pmFun fact - did you know your dusty Ivy league rep got manhandled by UMD twice and Duke, the only real teams they played all year?

Re: ivy league 2024
Congratulations to Princeton on a great season and the Ivy League Championship!
For all that were all in on the Tigers after beating Yale twice......winning about 20 of 26 or so (I may be off on that number) vs the Bulldogs.....on the ILT.....funny about karma.....yesterday Maryland won 21 of 28 faceoffs. Hard to score without the darn ball.
Interesting.
Like when TD was at Yale it was make it take it.
Next thoughts......all those beating up players putting up points against "weaker" teams......do the goals still count for the players that scored goals yesterday vs Utah and St Jos?
MLB just announced they are taking away 174 of Hank Aaron's home runs because they were against poor pitchers................

Re: ivy league 2024
Princeton only had 6 fewer shots and only 6 fewer SOG than Md.
Md was just the better and more hungry team. Had Princeton showed
up for the first half it might have been a tighter game but they didn't
and it wasn't.

Re: ivy league 2024
Kind of looked like the start against Brown but Princeton could not dig itself out of a hole. Second half was better but game was over at halftime. It’s the little things….not playing the picks at GLE well in first half and those two goals with 1 second left on the shot clock were very impactful. Two freshmen SSDMs earned some stripes yesterday. This was the year to catch Princeton. That team should be a handful the next few years….Ironically their first midfield is playing today. I am rooting for Syracuse the rest of the tournament. Best of luck!

Re: ivy league 2024
McNaney and Wiernan were on fire the first half and McMeekin and Gianfcario definitely were not. Worst half I've seen Gianforcano play.

As far as who made the tourney, to paraphrase Eddie Merckx, “win lots.” I say that as a fan of Penn. Want to dance, win more games. Simple, really.

Re: ivy league 2024
You have brought up ND's #4 ranking like it means anything. It doesn't. By no metric where they a top 5 team that year. Beaten comfortably by UVA and OSU. Spanked by Georgetown at home. Their only decent wins were nailbiters over a down Duke team that also missed the tourney. They were 6-4 and the only performance that even pointed towards a team that could win a tournament game was an early season LOSS to Maryland.NYlax222 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 2:54 amWhy this anger over the '22 discussion?

You ask why the anger over the '22 discussion? Because there should be no discussion. Based on the games played on the field, Notre Dame was a good but not great team in 2022. You don't hear anyone acting like this year's Cornell team was destined for Memorial Day just because they lost a close game to ND. FWIW I don't think any of the Ivy's have room to complain this year either. They had a number of good teams that came up just short of being worthy of the last at-large spot; none of them were snubbed.

Re: ivy league 2024
+1. I haven’t heard many people complaining about the Ivy League not getting a second team in. I definitely did not hear any commentators ask “how can you have an NCAA tournament without the blue blood Cornell” or “blue blood” Yale? Ivy League teams didn’t take advantage of opportunities along the way. Princeton got in by the skins of their teeth after being “ranked” between 12-18 all season. Yale and Cornell were top 10 virtually the whole season and were at home. No outrage…no whining in the national media by “professionals”…no “asterisks” for the 2024 season.random observer wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 1:25 pmYou have brought up ND's #4 ranking like it means anything.

Re: ivy league 2024
Because it was incessant. Every year good teams fall on the wrong side of the bubble because of the same or similar criteria and every year there is some complaining and then the tournament starts and the focus rightfully goes on the games and the controversy is over, except for '22. The hand wringing and whining went on for a full year - all through the '22 tournament and through the '23 season and through the '23 tournament that was billed as the ND revenge tour (as if ND wouldn't have tried as hard to win if they had been awarded a bid in '22). It was ridiculous. Some even claimed that ND would have won the title in '22 (Virginia, by far the best team in the ACC in '22 got spanked by Maryland in the quarterfinals). That was the difference and that is why some get angry about the ND/'22 discussion. It never ended. Should ND have gotten in? Probably. Is there a team or two you can say the same thing about every season. Yup. Do QK and Carc and Anish complain about other teams not getting a bid beyond the few days after the bids are awarded? Nope. It was the first time I can remember an ACC or old boys network team was on the wrong end of the selection criteria and it was as if that was all Q, Carc and Anish could talk about for 13 straight months.NYlax222 wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 2:54 amWhy this anger over the '22 discussion?

Re: ivy league 2024
Wrong song! We’re talking big state schools so they aren’t going back under the bridge, they’d go back to breaking the girl.

If the tourney were chosen based upon the best teams with no AQs given, those Ivy teams would have been in. Then there's the long list of Ivy players populating tourney teams because Ivy rules precluded them from playing another year at an Ivy school. So the Ivy League is alive & well and once the transfer portal no longer has a lot of Ivy players on it, the other teams will no longer gain a benefit from the Ivy League's strict rules.
