If anyone knows the amount of teams, whether it is the same or different from normal times, that will make any of the DI Conference tournaments, please post them here.

Big Ten is having all 6 teams in conference tournament this year. In normal years it’s only only the top 4 teams make the tournament

all other tournaments are being run, as if a normal season, afaik

BIG really dropped the ball in making the regular season relevant, by inviting all teams. With the addition of one more (Northwestern ) what are the BiG women doing? Hopefully they are just inviting the top 4.

BU just lost to a bad Utah team. They also haven't beaten a team with a winning record. They're done.

PL is looking like a two-bid league (Lehigh and Army) unless Loyola can knock off Georgetown in a few weeks.

Patriot won’t get three bids.

Patriot League men’s lacrosse will consist of one five-team division and one four-team divisions in 2021. The top-two teams in both the North and South Division will qualify for the Patriot League championship. The first game played against a divisional opponent counts toward the divisional standings. Additional games against the same divisional opponent would count toward the overall League winning percentage, which could be utilized for tiebreaking purposes.

Each divisional winner will earn a spot in the tournament. The divisional winner with the best overall winning percentage will receive the No. 1 seed, with the second-best winning percentage of the divisional winners receiving the No. 2 seed. The second-place team in each division will also earn a spot in the tournament with the second-place team with the best winning percentage earning the No. 3 seed and the remaining team receiving the No. 4 seed.

Holy Cross cancelled it’s season today

There you go again......you just can't help yourself. Insulting Div. I lacrosse programs.

What is so "bad" about this UTAH team ?

And, you and yours have a long, history of cherry picking bad this, or bad thats....

I am being serious.....what bearing do you have to make this determination?

A long time, experienced coach. somehow, affiliate with some program, called....ummm. Johns Hopkins....along with some of the most innovative young coaches around....is bad?

Says who? you?

What gives you the right to make this claim, of bad? You are a Hopkins fan? That is all you got.

How about you just stop these insulting comments....... being serious. It just shows how much lacrosse knowledge the world has to learn, myself and yourself, included.

The Hopkins crowd crapping all over the rest of Division one is......after all.....a great look. Keep it up. That includes Quint.

They lost to Air Force and Mercer, who are both also bad.

They scored just 3 goals against a Jacksonville team that gave up 12 goals to VMI, who is very bad.

Their only other wins this season are against a Division 2 opponent and Bellarmine, who, like the teams above, is bad.

Hopkins is also bad. That's why they aren't going to get a bid to the NCAA tournament. That is what happens when you are bad.

Why don't you just make your case for BU instead of talking about Hopkins?

Just, NOT.....the same argument, for the 2016 Rutgers snub, eh

Boston did it's job....it made the Patriot Tourney........ did you watch that Army- Boston game? great game.

Unless Loyola beats GT...or wins the PL.

The MAAC is scheduled to have all eight teams in the conference tournament with higher seeds hosting. Marist is the question mark, they are currently not playing or practicing and have only played one game. Unless they play a few games quickly it seems like it would be hard to let them in the tournament with 2 or 3 games played. Where would you seed them?

In the CAA I have heard they are letting all six in with the top two seeds getting byes but also heard it is the top four so I don't know, if anyone could clarify that would be great.

The Big Esat is having the top four qualify, not sure about a site.

yeah......reality

but, ask yourself WHY...you are so steadfast with mindset, reality or not?

We can, after all, finally admit that the chances of WINNING a ncaa championship, are BETTER......when one gets an invitation


this season is NOT one........at this point, they mite as well just invite ALL college teams to someplace.....and do some kind of double elimination tournament.

First two days, each team plays 4 games....for a 5 team bracket. .....go from there.

you know, because.....games like 'Cuse vs Vermont........are, well....boring

yuupp........the will roll out the same dessert cart.........not much has changed since 2004


"good loses"

NO other competitive sport uses such nonsense. NONE. It is as if it benefits "certain" colleges.

2004 ? Wasn't that about the time the Adademic gate keepers of NESCAC finally allowed snot nozes NE prep school kids to show the lacrosse world whats what.

But, if you played after college, or summer ball......Vail, Placid, Vegas, .....you already new Middlebury lacrosse was lousy......

Which NCAA div. I hockey team calls it self "the tradition that is" ?

Please, DUKE........follow your academic counterparts, and use that killing cancer tobacco money to buy yourself some more street cred.....CANCEL the season........COVID
