I'd say it deserves its own thread.
Anyone heard if the games will be televised and/or included in RedCast?

Not having paid too much detail to the ins and outs of NCAA lacrosse selection, I was not aware until now that the ACC had no autobid considering how they all pretty much always make it.

Agreed, but in retrospct from Hockey, I believe a conference needs at least 6 teams to get an autobid (Ref. CHA prior to recent years). So I guess that makes sense.

He says it's necessary, with the addition of two more automatic bids (Big East, NEC) next year reducing the number of at-large bids to eight.

I wonder why Cornell, the #1 seed, is playing the late game. I think the ECACH approach makes more sense: top seed gets the early game.

Maybe because both teams have a full 24+ hours to recover, the "early" v. "late" game does not make too much of a difference. In this scenario, it would make sense for the host team to have the pick of game times and maximize fan support. Though with it being slope day, not sure how many of the undergrad fans will be sober.

Well in looking back over the schedule, it's not much of a stat to worry about. Over the last 9 years (all that's on BigRed site) our record is 6-3 with Brown. 2 losses at home, 1 away. So I guess a better stat than Brown's beaten us more than anyone else, is we've been dominant in the Ivy.Jeff Hopkins '82

Not being sober could make for a more animated crowd, however. Unconscious, though, not so much.

Right. 7-6 Princeton. Yale made two unforced throwaways in the last minute and never took a shot for the tying goal.

3-2 CU with a couple left in the 1st. CU dominating possession (I think we've won every faceoff), but the Brown goalie has made about 4 point-blank saves. If he keeps that up it will be tough

Shots 13-5 for Cornell, but Brown scored on a coast-to-coast by a longstick and a quick goal on one of their few possessions. Gotta start putting more of these shots into the net.

6-4 CU at the half. But it's the most uncomfortable 2-goal halftime lead that I can recall in a long time, considering how we've dominated the faceoffs and ground balls. The trend all year has been that our faceoff effectiveness disapates in the 2nd half.
Brown's goalie was tremendous -- it easily would be 10 or 11-4 if he was even just average.

14-8 final. Strong game in most facets (except man-down). Boykin was phenomenal at on faceoffs and groundballs in general. But for the Brown goalie and some off-target shooting, we'd have 20.

In this case it seems fairly simple: Yale is 10-4, Brown is 8-6, so in RPI a win over Yale does count more than a win over Brown. (Well, a win counts as much as a win; a game against Yale counts more than a game against Brown.) Not really surprising that teams with the same record and similar schedules would have similar RPI, intuitively. Presumably, whoever wins Sunday will end with a higher RPI, and that also makes intuitive sense.Al DeFlorio

No, you really wouldn't, unless you take it in isolation. We're both 10-4 against pretty similar schedules.
Yes, we beat them, but since our records are the same, that just means they had a win elsewhere that we didn't have.

Except that since we beat Princeton playing a similar schedule, you would think that would give us the edge.
No, you really wouldn't, unless you take it in isolation. We're both 10-4 against pretty similar schedules.
Yes, we beat them, but since our records are the same, that just means they had a win elsewhere that we didn't have.

I have a very low opinion of anyone who thinks Lacrosse (not the Box Lacrosse) is properly played indoors. Rain or Shine, mud, snow, sleet it is a good day to play Lacrosse. That is how the Native Americans that gave us the game played and that is how it should stay.
Sorry for being a knuckle dragger.

They also played to the death. Which, considering we play Harvard, is not a terrible idea.
No Virginia jokes, please.

Have they moved the Lacrosse finals to Ford Field in Detroit?
(or are you railing against Syracuse and the Carrier Dome)?

And they didn't play on lined fields, didn't use a clock and 50,000 other things that make it difficult to make that point. The lousy artificial surface that we used to play on was much more a problem than being indoors.Trotsky

Not quite contempt, the are far too good for that, rather pity that they are stuck playing this great game in an indoor arena rather than under the sky as it was intended to be played.

A guy on laxpower says there was some kind of problem during the postgame award ceremony Sunday. Was anybody there who can tell me what happened?
