LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Feel free to make any title game, score, or other predictions.

I voted for Duke because they didn't have any votes yet.

I don't see how the team that just went 10 for 30 on faceoffs can be favored against all 3 other similarly talented teams but also with much better faceoffs

Whoever wins on Memorial Day will deserve it

all four teams are capable of winning the whole thing on their day

This is the strongest Final Four I can remember for a long time with all the transfers & 5th year Seniors

I just hope for good weather and no injuries

and 3 Great lacrosse games

ideally with no mention of COVID-19

And good announcers on TV. Otherwise, MUTE.

Well, I have doubts but....... At least Belichick knows 100% more about lax than Anish Shroff pretends.

Very possible. That said, who does UNC meet in the title game?

Keep an eye on the weather - Connecticut forecast calls for heavy rain overnight Friday into Saturday. Blustery and cool all day Saturday with intermittent rain.

Rentschler Field is a natural Kentucky Bluegrass playing surface. It's been quite dry in CT for the past two weeks so perhaps things won't be too bad but you never know when the forecast is calling for 1-3 inches of rain for Hartford metro area in the next 36 hours.

Here on CT shoreline forecast is for a monsoon tonight into tomorrow, tapering off around noon (and then more Sunday and Monday, lovely Memorial weekend), temp in low 50s, definitely will play a factor in terms of usual advantages in having depth.

It would come as no surprise to see the team with the largest number of USILA AAs win the NC.

Monsoon? Grass Field? UVA? Tillman Johnson suiting up?

Going with UNC who's been the best team all season IMO, think they will be the best mudder too

54 and pouring currently

This season, have any of the final 4 teams played on a grass field in the rain?

Interesting statement. Seems like the best team all season wins not nearly as often as expected. Penn State was the huge #1 in 2019, Maryland was #1 seed in 2018 and Albany #2 (Yale won it all), Terps were the best in 2017 and won, UNC was nowhere near the best in 2016. Denver was seeded #4 in 2015. It goes on.

Their mother was a mudder
