Lax: NCAA Quarterfinals

[semsox]

The scenario actually reminds me of 2007 where Hopkins had a relatively easy match in the one semifinal and you all know what happened in the other.  Hopkins went into the Championship game as a fairly heavy underdog but had more in the tank because of the grueling other semifinal.  Wouldn't mind seeing something similar happen this year.....

We do have a game Saturday, right?

Have to root for Stony Brook in the second game if only to have a final four where Cornell is the only team to have won a national championship thus giving us a Final Four that ends with either Cornell winning another title or another team is added to the relatively small list of NCAA DI champs.

Be careful what you wish for. I don't believe UVA has ever won a NC.

Swampy, am i missing the sarcasm? uva won in 1972, 1999, 2003 & 2006 ... ?

Not including those. Duh.

(I think he meant Duke.)

Doh! ::doh:: ::doh::::doh:: I never could count very well.

Yes, I did mean Duke. At least I got the state right. ::bang::

Please tell me this is a joke. ::help::

It's definitely some sort of a joke - just a matter of whom it's on...  

(sorry grammar police - just no better way to phrase that)

It's great to see new teams win championships, but if I had to choose between UVA winning another or Duke winning their first (in a hypothetical situation where they were playing in the championship game, say, and having no bearing on Cornell's chances of winning a championship), I'll pick UVA and it isn't even a difficult decision.

Well put, Josh. It could be Duke not Harvard that was cited in Doonesbury as having a self-esteem problem. "Not enough self esteem?" "No - too much."
