Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 1 year ago
If we had been told at the start of the year that Cornell would finish the regular season 11-4, RPI #8, with wins over RPI #3 and #6, I think we all would have been pretty ecstatic about that. Final RPI: 1. Maryland 0.6920 2. Georgetown 0.6536 3. Princeton 0.6519 4. Penn 0.6514 5. Rutgers 0.6294 6. Yale 0.6235 7. Duke 0.6121 8. Cornell 0.6103 9. Virginia 0.6051 10. Brown 0.6038 11by CU77 - Other Sports

Root for Yale in tomorrow's Ivy final, Cornell will be #7 in RPI with a Yale win and #8 with a Penn win (Duke moves into #7 in that case).by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 1 year ago
Yes, goal difference. Top 3 in this scenario (B,C,H) are all 4-2, and all 1-0 against Y, the highest team outside the tie. Next tie-breaker is goal differential (and NOT record against the next highest team outside the tie, which I had been told a few years back was the case).by CU77 - Other Sports

Brown leads Dartmouth 12-3 in the 4th. Correct ILT scenarios, straight from the Ivy League office: If Brown beats Dartmouth, Harvard beats Yale and Cornell beats Princeton: No. 1 Brown, No. 2 Cornell, No. 3 Harvard, No. 4 Yale If Brown beats Dartmouth, Yale beats Harvard and Cornell beats Princeton: No. 1 Brown, No. 2 Cornell, No. 3 Yale, No. 4 Pennby CU77 - Other Sports

Here are the ILT scenarios, assuming I've correctly interpreted the tie-breaking rules: B>D,Y>H,Pr>C: Pr,B,Y,Pe B>D,Y>H,C>Pr: B,C,Y,H B>D,H>Y,Pr>C: H,Pr,B,Pe B>D,H>Y,C>Pr: C,H,B,Y D>B,Y>H,Pr>C: Y,Pr,B,Pe D>B,Y>H,C>Pr: C,Y,H,Pr D>B,H>Y,Pr>C: H,Pr,B,Pe D>B,H>Y,C>Pr: C,H,B,Y Bottom line: Cornell is in with a win oby CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
6 Ivy games to go, 2^6 = 64 possible outcomes. For now I'm only going to do the scenarios where Dartmouth loses its last two games (to Penn and Brown). And I'm only going to do the simplest tie-breaker of record among the tied teams. Complete list of tie-breakers is here: And I'm not sure how (3a) applies in a case like (C,Y,Pr),(B,H,Pe) C>B,H>Pr,Y>H,Pr>C: (C,Y,Pr),(B,H,Pe)by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
It was indeed a thing of beauty, but my guess is that it was not scripted at that level. Kirst looks to me like he's just moving the ball on because he was stymied at GLE, and then Coyle is just moving it on, and then Kelleher sees an opportunity to shoot because no defender is on him. Either way, scripted or just heads-up play, it was a fantastic end to the game.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
Looking WAY ahead ... If the Ivy Fantastic Four (C,Y,Pr,Pe) wins every remaining game against the Sidekicks (H,B,D), as Massey predicts, then it all comes down to Cornell @ Princeton. If the Big Red takes that (after, in this scenario, beating Harvard and Brown), then Cornell and Yale are tied at the top of the Ivy standings at 5-1, and Cornell holds the tiebreaker! The Ivy seedings are C,by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
arugula I ask again, why are we consistently terrible at the x. Bad luck. Petrakis was very good at the start of the season, in the top 10 in opponent-adjusted ranking by lacrossereference.com. Then the PSU game happened with a quick whistle on FO violations, and he hasn't been the same since. Petrakis was a top FOGO in HS on LI.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
billhoward CU2007 I don’t follow lacrosse especially closely but see we are 6-0. What type of record would we need to get an at large to the NCAA should we fall short in the Ivy Tourney? If Cornell does not win the Ivy League tournament, it has to be one of the seven best teams not selected. The D1 tournament has 16 spots. Nine teams are in leagues with automatic qualifiers. That leaves 64 otherby CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - where's CU social media? - 2 years ago
Weder Cornell tweets in-game updates for all sports from one account. Never heard of it. It's never been re-tweeted by the lax team account AFAIK. And it had exactly one in-game update today, with nothing more than a score; no video clips (which is what tweets are good for, scores we get from Live Stats). As Donald Trump would say: Sad!by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - where's CU social media? - 2 years ago
billhoward CU77's link to the Inside Lacrosse game story shows two Yale Men's Lacrosse tweets the and one from USA Lacrosse Mag, none from Cornell. If you search "Twitter cornell men's lacrosse" via Google, the first result is freaking Cornell College. That should not be.

George64 CU77 billhoward The ultimate rule change may yet be: Other team gets the ball after a goal. It has been proposed, not sure how seriously. It was tried one year in the late 70s. I hope never to see it again. Why? Because it's boring, and because the face-off is one of lax's distintive features. We don't need to make every game a basketball clone.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
Our top FOGO, Petrakis, had been doing well, but was called for multiple violations in the PSU game. No video, so we didn't see what happened, but the sheer number of called violations was strongly indicative of a ref who was calling incidental movement as a violation, which should not be happening. (Inconsistency of ref calls on FO is a generally recognized issue in the sport.) This may have spoby CU77 - Other Sports
