Or Maryland did. Isn't the first time, won't be the last time.

Remember 2019, when Yale/Penn met in that epic battle in the quarters. Still convinced those teams should have been bracketed to meet on Memorial Day.

Hell, I think Virginia won that year in part because Yale had to beat first Penn and then Penn State. They were gassed by the time they faced Virginia.

The UVA Blowout affirms the IVY charade. Penn had to go OT to beat Richmond. Yale had a hard time with St Joes.
Which of you Ivy fans thought that the margin would be greater in the UVA slaughter than the Yale/ St. Joes game?
UVA teased Brown for the first half like Brown was a 2 year old. They purposely held back to get the until the 3rd Q to get Brown/Ivy fans hopes up. Then UVA yanked away the Candy and simply ran off 8 STRAIGHT goals to rub in Brown/Ivy inferiority. In the 2nd half, they continually delivered jack-booted stomp thrusts to the entire Stevenson-Pincince Field crowd, leaving particularly deep cavities in the posterior canals of Logan Kemp and Dylan Malloy who have been forced to endure yet another humiliation. Hey Logan Kemp, how do you like Lars Tiffany now????

Anyone who plays lax well enough and has the academic resume to get into Hopkins are probably not deciding between Johns Hopkins and Richmond/St. Joe’s. Richmond and St. Joe’s don’t get as many “blue chips” but they get some real talented players and develop them into a terrific lacrosse team. They make do with less, and that’s a real credit to those two programs.
All these losing seasons, and you still don't get it. Probably never will. You better hope that Milliman doesn't think like you do.

Desko and Petro brought in the supposed early "Blue Chip recruits" that IL and the lacrosse know it alls said to recruit. Turns out? They were A recruits, sure.....but C to B player when they actually hit the D1 lacrosse field. In short: they recruited the wrong players, and never gave the kids who were actually better D1 players a look.

Fishing from the wrong pond for, oh, about 7 years now.

DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 6:19 pm But if your proposition is that St. Joe’s and Richmond are directly competing for talent with the Hopkins, Dukes, Virginias, and Ivies of the world, that is simply not true as a general matter.
That viewpoint certainly explains why Hopkins and Duke are sitting at home, watching.

There are too many good players, Doc, and not enough spots at the programs you think are the cool schools. So the actual, real, Division I talent is landing elsewhere. Which means if the Tierney's, Desko's, Petro's, Tambroni's, et. al of the world aim, shoot, and miss with their recruit choices....

.....they're home watching the 1st round on TV. And the players they missed are playing for Richmond, St. Joes, and yes, Yale. It's beyond your comprehension that St. Joes has kids that would start at Hopkins. You think it's all coaching.

St. Joes isn't hanging with Yale late in the third with a bunch of chumps on the field, Doc.

But you don't want to hear this.

Adler went to Duke, McConvey going to UVA from UVM, guess UNC/BU is close to a wash. Jared Fernandez transferred to Hop. Heck anyone who knows Scott Rogers knows he wasn’t a typical ND student.

The idea that kids who choose a school that’s not USNWR top 10-15 is as out of touch as the people who still buy ILs rankings.

a)they got there b) 3/4 won c) weird things happen in big games and those other programs earned their way into their tournament as well. Very impressive season from the conference and one of the best non acc years in a long long time.

Normally yes, but after the selection committee robbery. They ruined a great tourney by stacking the deck to prevent a UVA/MD rematch. Ivy benefitted from the reprehensible tactic. Plus Brown crowd booed Lars Tiffany, a good man. Scorched earth now appropriate.

Agreed! Let's hope that the Ivies can at least go .500 tomorrow for some bragging rights. As Calourie points out, one Ivy is already guaranteed in the Final Four.

Over the past decade (small sample size, I know), the team that has played the second Saturday semifinal game has a poor record in the finals -- you wouldn't think a few more hours of recovery time makes a difference but the record suggests it does. In 2019, Ierlan was gassed from two high scoring games and taking a zillion faceoffs. This isn't to suggest that's the only reason LaSalla outplayed him -- 2021 sure showed that LaSalla was no fluke -- the way he and Rode elevated their games in both national championship runs was special.

Congrats to UVA on an excellent showing. I am sure it is a bit frustrating that they come head to head with Maryland so early, but the Terps are such favorites that the logic "you've got to beat them at some point, might as well be now" isn't too far off base. I think a UVA firing on all cylinders with Nunes repeating the type of performance he had in the second half in particular might make everyone forget the first, not-close game pretty quickly. Right now the Terps would seem to have the FOGO edge but after 2019 I learned never to count out LaSalla.

Good thing I’m from super racist murderer binghamton (too soon but damn I knew that Buffalo tragedy would somehow get tied back to Broome co) and have lived in Dc, NYC and now Atlanta. I did once in college get stuck in the Boston harbor on my friends (fathers) boat as we were getting messed up and forgot about low tide.

Now what kind of ride my Bay Area sister is rocking is a whole other discussion.

But with respect to a tan Volvo XC70 with empty kid seats? Let’s just say this is the type of stuff you can get away with.
