Agreed. Yale is my championship pick.
I hope everything breaks wrong for Hopkins the rest of this weekend, so they still get in.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 5:39 pm decided to tune in to the Patriot League semifinals between Army and Loyola, a game that can directly impact the NCAA tournament hopes of many teams, including Hopkins.

... I happen to be working from home this afternoon and decided to tune in to the Patriot League semifinals between Army and Loyola, a game that can directly impact the NCAA tournament hopes of many teams, including Hopkins.
But while surfing the channels for the game, I stumbled onto the Women’s College Beach Volleyball Championships, a sport that I didn’t even realize existed at the college level.
I decided to watch the women’s college beach volleyball game.
Question: Does that make me a bad person?
This comment is oddly reassuring.
Yeah, it's freaking great. ESPNU is not showing the lacrosse game that their scheduled to be showing because of this. TV windows don't matter.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 5:58 pm P.S. Update ... now the McNamara twins, blond UCLA women’s college beach volleyball players, taking on FSU. Sport gets better by the minute.
Not at all.Army up 4-2 with 7 minutes to go in the 3rd Q.The "uniforms" worn be the beach volleyball playersDocBarrister wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 5:39 pm So ...

are a bit different and arguably more attractive than Army's or Loyola's. 
If Loyola loses this game, the presumptive at-larges become:
You could definitely do that. SOR is basically a measure of how many wins a team has vs how many wins a generic #10 team would be expected to have against the same schedule. So each game either adds or subtracts "excess wins" from the team's total. As a result, you could show what each game contributed.admin wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 3:09 pmIs SOR broken-down, game by game or is it calculated cumulatively. e.g. RPI is cumulative. Obviously each game counts but is SOR able to say, Duke received X Points against Syracuse.laxreference wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 12:34 pmI think SOR is a better way to look at a team's holistic season than RPI).
A, i have some knowledge of the school having gone to grad school there and I don’t think they’d ever add lacrosse.TheBigIguana wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 1:11 pmThe best thing that could happen for the Patriot is American adding men's lax so that the two division league can happen.youthathletics wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2019 12:19 pm The AQ makes sense but IMO when leagues are not balanced in qty, the measurement in stats can not be balanced.
The PL teams are are at a minimum 1-2 games out of contentions for QW's/QL's due in part to their 9 team league (the largest), which handcuffs them for OOC scheduling, especially when their bye weeks are locked down for 2-3 years straight.
One could argue, if they had more flexibility in scheduling, maybe break the PL into two divisions on a rotational basis, it would allow them all to gather more challenging and different opponents yearly, which in the end builds each teams resume and ability to face opponents that will punch them in mouth.
They could still have the PL tournament in its current structure, top seed teams on each side earns a bye and team 2-3 play in on each side the Tuesday before PL Tourney Friday and Sunday.

Loyola is a full member of the Patriot League.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 9:10 pm B. if they did, watch out Loyola. People forget this is a lacrosse focused site but Loyola’s lacrosse “dominance” of league as an affiliate member who doesn’t add to academics or navy did for Army is more of a problem for them. Conferences don’t like interlopers taking their spots.
Are your projections showing Towson still getting in with a loss to Drexel tomorrow?laxreference wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 8:58 pm Cornell vs Maryland seems to be the key question going forward. In simulations where Cornell is not in the field, Maryland gets in 78.9% of the time. When Cornell gets in, the Terps are also in a whopping zero percent of the time.
There are a lot of Bulldog fans in College Park right about now.
