Men's Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament

[Al DeFlorio]

Man-down D needs to shape up.  3 EMO goals for Brown, all wide-open.

Is that 3 since the last score update or for the game?

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.

Nice. Even if we got out-goalied, a 6 goal margin is a refreshing change of pace. Did we leap back over Princeton in RPI?

I love how Al is all angry about something every single game, No matter what the score.

Thanks.

I caught the post-game press conference.  I hadn't heard Lars Tiffany before; boy, he's an impressive guy.

Did we leap back over Princeton in RPI?

Dunno.  Laxpower hasn't factored the Cornell-Brown into RPI yet.  Will probably come down to the result of Sunday's game.

Posted now.  Princeton .615, Cornell .614.  Guess a win over Yale counts for more than a win over Brown.  Or maybe the Siena and Mount St. Mary's wins affected opponents' opponents' opponents' opponents records.::moon::

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.

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.

And RPI pays no attention to whom you've beaten and to whom you've lost, just the bottom-line won-lost records of you, your opponents, and their opponents.
