Just curious....what IS the closest full field, indoor facility that Hopkins could play at
Grimes was starting to make the sophomore jump that other great Hopkins offensive players have made and more impressively in the georgetown game was getting "right time right place" dumb luck goals which come when a player is in position and making plays. You could see the confidence starting to bloom and it would have had a trickle down effect on the rest of the team with his added scoring. The Syracuse game would not have been as close and the navy/delaware games would've seen more scoring and pressure on opposing defenses.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 24, 2022 3:40 pm I must admit the RIAC acronym escapes me - the Ravens have a full field indoor facility at the Underarmour Center - after that would it be the Commanders facility in Ashburn, VA???
RRR - aka fatty - I don't know why you have Grimes in your cross hairs - there are a couple of semi-relevant facts - he has the same number of points in 4 games in 2022 as he did in 13 in 2021. His shooting percentage was up 8 percentage points - I wish every Hopkins player could say the same. If he stayed at attack and projected the same ground ball rate he would lead both Epstein and DeSimone in ground balls. His turnovers at 5 vs 8 in 2021 are on the increase but he quickly switched to middie in '21 where turnovers ar eoften fewer where in 22 he went in the opposite direction.

at least when I was there they practiced on the floor of the regular student intramural gym during january/february next to the climbing wall and raquetball courts. No closed off screens or anything just another student group using a facility.
Ferry is right in that it's going to be very hard to get in, and that no one should expect it. (You hearing that, Doc?) But his scenario for the Jays' only way of getting in is too drastic. They don't have to beat Maryland. If they go 4-1 in the B1G they'd finish 8-6 with wins over OSU and Rutgers. They'd probably get in. Or if they go 3-2 with a win over OSU or Rutgers to finish 7-7 and then win a B1G tourney game to ensure a .500 record, that could easily be enough too. RPI is the game. Jays are #16 right now with a 4-5 record. At 8-6 they're probably top 10.Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:16 pm Playoff chances not looking so good right now according to Terry:
"To me, the Blue Jays’ only path to the NCAA Tournament is the Big Ten AQ. Right now, it’s possible none of their four wins will end up in the RPI Top 20, and two of their losses could be qualified as bad losses by the selection criteria. Could they beat Ohio State and Maryland in the regular season, beat Rutgers in the Big Ten Semis, lose in the Big Ten title game and have a favorable bubble resume? It’s possible, but seems unlikely."

leaving out the possibility the future may be different, but i might be one of the few people besides the selection committee that understands at larges for multiple normal years are straight rpi now.Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:16 pm Playoff chances not looking so good right now according to Terry:

no fernandez or delaney whose careers appear to be finished.
This is worse 16 - let's see Grimes started out as an attackman in '21 and finished as a mid-fielder - he started '22 as a mid-fielder and then was playing attack before he got hurt. So you are allowing for the possibility - if he plays at all - that the position is not settled. There is not one crumb that is lacking class in that situation. The sooner you realize game notes are crap - the happier the rest of us will be. What do you think the Michigan coach is going to go screaming on the field - "Wait he was in the game notes twice!!" The Michigan coahc uses the Hopkins game notes to wrap fish. Get a grip.
Pipe dream! Unless Hopkins goes 4 and 1 in the Big 10, it is AQ or go home. There are 9 AQs. So 7 At Large. ACC will get a minimum of 3 bids, UVA, Duke and UNC all far ahead of Hopkins. Ivy very likely to get 3 with Princeton, Penn, Cornell, Yale. Harvard and Brown are also ahead of Hopkins. Big 10 gets 1 with Rutgers and OSU all ahead of Hopkins. A loss to either Rutgers or OSU spells the end of the season. They only have 1 Top 20 win against a fading Jacksonville at #13. It is over!wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:51 pmleaving out the possibility the future may be different, but i might be one of the few people besides the selection committee that understands at larges for multiple normal years are straight rpi now.Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:16 pm Playoff chances not looking so good right now according to Terry:

hopkins is 16. if they can go 2 or 3 games over .500 in the b1g, my guess that'll put 'em inside 12. doesn't matter who they beat or lose to. only will matter how many conference upsets there are in title games in b1g, big east and ivy.
For an at large, I think the Blue Jays need to either: (1) beat all of the B1G teams at least once, including Maryland; or, alternatively, they can beat all the B1G teams except Maryland and reach the B1G final and make the NCAA tournament that way, but only if Maryland wins the B1G tournament. However it comes about, Hopkins will need to be among the consensus top two teams from the B1G to reach the NCAA tournament.GSP wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:58 pmPipe dream!

oh, it's a pipe dream alright but finishing 2 games over .500 very well could get it done. duke is not far ahead of hopkins, they are 15 and hopkins is 16. the very likely ivies right now are princeton, cornell, and harvard. yale and brown are 14 and 13. penn's in ok shape, but start going under .500 in ivy things get tricky.GSP wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:58 pmPipe dream!

top 20 rpi wins doesn't matter anymore. jacksonville is #28.
there will be 8 at larges in the tournament. 10 aqs with 4 of them in play-ins.
