Division II Odds to Win the Championship

[Adriano]

The LR - Tampa being billed as a heavyweight match. Tampa holds a 4 - 1 edge historical wins. LR will win to narrow the history. I look for LR to shake off some rust in the first quarter and keep it close. Overall team speed of LR runs Tampa out of gas and a tight win in regulation. Go Bears!

Tampa looking tough to beat. Tampa by a few goals.

Whipple has been running his team in the FL heat. I don't think they will run out of gas. If Dickerson dominates at FO, Tampa will control the game and it will come down to how well LR defense plays against Tampa's high powered offense. Lynn gave Tampa scares in both games where the FO bested Dickerson and their defense kept the score low. Might be a good defensive battle.

Whipple has been running his team in the FL heat.

Not saying it will be today, but that has been a problem in the past and his teams wearing down as the season has gone on.

Without a full slate of games this year, it may not be an issue

SSC best conference no questions asked. Tampa is so underrated. Whipple runs a clean program.

SSC? Out of your mind...Tampa is the most talked about team that has never won anything.

Agree completely. I'm not sure how anyone can claim Tampa is "underrated" when they were literally rated #1 without having played a game (while others were 4-0 or 5-0). To me, this is the opposite of underrated. I'm curious Cheeks, what would be appropriate? Is there a Super Duper #1AAA rating that we don't know about?

Where’s the le Moyne slander? Again like I said put Tampa in these other conferences and it’s the same result. Shoot maybe even a few more 20 pieces if they can get out of the heat

Well that was exciting, LR over Tampa 16-15.

Love it! Tampa home on Memorial Day weekend as usual! So good.

[cowboylax]

Death, Taxes and Tampa staying home on Memorial Day!

[BlaxLaxDad]

yep!

As I said before the whole D1 transfer thing....

Don't mean much given there are plenty of D1 level players at D2 and D3.

Bryce Reece, #15 of Lenoir Rhine is one of them!

He basically took over the 3rd Qtr and gave his team the jolt it needed to climb back into a game that could have been a blow out loss...

CONGRATULATIONS a to the entire Bears team for one heck of a game....

Instant classic.

Played two games in three days. If they got the respect they deserved and earned and got granted a real seed, prob a different story here. But LR earned it and they deserved today as well, one hell of a game. Prob shoulda been the natty. We’ll see what happens from here on out. Instant classic.

I don’t know...Covid hurt there ability to play enough and get a better seed, but all teams had to deal with Covid issues. Also they could of put 40 up on Mt Olive right? So did that really tire them out? Tampa has an excuse every year. Gotta give Lemoyne the edge right now. Defense wins championships.

[WhiteCarrera]

Cricket, Cheeks, Tumbleweed will you ever stop making excuses for why Tampa, the best lacrosse team in the country from the best conference in the country, loses?

Tampa’s the best BUT:
They don’t get respect and got a bad seed,
They had to play two games in three days,
Playing a conference-only schedule didn’t prepare them for the playoffs, even though they’re in the best, most competitive conference in America,
Only beating Lynn by one or two goals must mean that Lynn is the second best team in the country, and they should also be in the playoffs,
You all are prejudiced against Tampa.

Maybe your starting assumption (Tampa is the best) just wasn’t correct.
