Bryant at Hopkins

[molo]

I haven’t seen a full Bryant game this year. Vastly improved since last year, the Jays should advance at Homewood. But then there was that game in the Dome a few years ago. Bulldogs also took UVA to the wire at Klockner in 2021. Can the Bulldogs pull the upset at my favorite venue?

Blue Jays go out to a 5-0 lead with aggressive D, unselfish motion O, stout goalie play, and domination on FOs and gbs.

Bryant then goes on an 8-1 run and an 8-6 lead as Hopkins enjoys a nice full English breakfast/brunch on the Cordish Lacrosse Center balcony. The blood sausage and beans are particularly tasty.

Blue Jays then win the fourth quarter 5-2 and complete a close, thrilling 11-10 win.

On to Utah, who upset ND 18-2.

Doc, did you take your meds this morning?

Mother's Day at noon, tough pull to try and sneak down to Homewood...

My hope for Hop- 1. Angelus, please be aggressive and go to goal early and often, need 5 shots from him. It opens things up. 2. Work to get Collison and Grimes inverted from X on shorties and go to the goal, it makes good things happen. 3. Degnon-fire away, especially early. Unless it is a sure dunk, forgo the one more and rip. He should have 10 shots min. 4. min of 2 transition goals. Push the ball to create odd man situations and go to goal. 5. Marcille needs at least 10 saves. 6. put at least 1 repeatable play/concept on man up in and commit to it. Even if they know who our shooters are run it and execute.

It has bee a good year but this has to be a win. I am going 14-12 Hop.

I especially like #2 and #3.
Fire at will, Melendez also.

Bryant was horrible at the start of the season. They really turned it around.

I don't know what the spread is but I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins fully controls the game, with the score being closer than the play on the field.

Hop - 5; O/U at 25.5

1766- Bryant started the season 4-1 with a 1 goal loss to BU. Would love to understand your rationale on the horrible start. Just curious- have you actually watched any of their games this year?

I like a good english breakfast - I was looking at your ND prediction. Or was that wishing and hoping?

I will be placing a responsible wager on Bryant +5. That’s a big number

Hopkins wins easy.
Byrant's best win is a one-goal loss to Boston U.

I remember when Cuse said the same thing.

Is Gunnar back in the goal for Bryant?

Are Rice and Donahue playing for Hop?

Two yrs ago Bryant went to Klockner (grass) in the tourn. and lost 13-11. I don’t see anything different. Especially, Bryant being accustomed to playing on sport turf. When ND lost at Va a few weeks ago in so-so weather you could see they looked uncomfortable. I see this being a 1 goal game either way. Something that is not mentioned enough is surface change in some of these matchups in the tourn. . Bryant has athletes which will be a factor in this game.

Bryant NCAA Tournament Results:

2013 Lost to Cuse 12-7 (Cuse lost to Duke in the finals)
2014 Beat Cuse 10-9 / Lost to MD 16-8 (MD lost final four)
2015 Lost To Marist (Play in Game) 10-6 (Marist got waxed by Cuse next round)
2017 Beat Monmouth (Play in Game) 10-7 / Lost to MD 13-10 (MD national Champs 9-6 over OSU)
2021 Lost to Virginia 13-11 (UVA National Champs)

So the good news is if you survive Bryant...you have a good shot at going to and potentially winning the national championship

I would not take them lightly blue bloods!

That's a better record than Army in the NCAAs during that same stretch.
