Article on Jeff Teat and the upcoming NLL draft:  
Out of Sight But Not Out of Mind, Jeff Teat Goes 'Back to Basics' Ahead of PLL Draft

There's been a lot uncertainty for Jeff Teat over the past year. What's certain is he just flat-out loves lacrosse and wants to play it as long as possible. "I graduate in May," he said in an interview with IL on Friday. "And then I'm full board with lacrosse going from there."

While other top-end players in the Premier Lacrosse League Draft conversation have been fixtures of highlights and awards lists and rankings this spring, Teat's been out of sight. The Cornell senior, like most in the Ivy League, hasn't been able to play competitively since COVID shut down the sport last spring. ...

With Jared Bernhardt's pro lacrosse-playing future likely delayed [Maryland A, opted to play college football fall 2021], the conversation of who will be No. 1 has been focused on Michael Sowers and Teat, two players whose paths have crossed and have mirrored each other over the years. Teat was No. 1 in the 2016 class of freshman, IL's first from Canada. Sowers was No. 10. Both became forces in the Ivy League and showcased a level of vision and feeding ability advanced beyond their years — Teat's built on box deception and skill and Sowers' speed and quickness.

I couldn't fine a 1971 lacrosse thread, and I didn't want to start one.

But here's an article about Cornell's role taking lacrosse from a parochial "Big 5" to the big time.

Speaking of which, this year seems a bit like deja vu all over again. I think an appropriate sign or t-shirt at this year's lacrosse championships would be "If everyone can't play, you can't win shit!"

Excellent article.

Had no idea the rivalry with Syracuse went so far back.

Was this Richie Moran's first year or was Ned the coach in 1970?

Ned:  66-68
Richie:  69 and on

66, 68, 70 were unbeaten seasons.

In Latin, it would be seen erudite.

The title game was at Hofstra. Homecoming for Richie Moran, who had coached HS on the Guyland, and much of the Cornell team. The real title game was the week before, at Army. It was a double-header. Richard Nixon was on campus in the morning, lacrosse was in the afternoon, and it West Point issued a press pass that turned out to have access to both press areas. Cornell got the last goal in a 17-16 game. The title game over Maryland, Moran's alma mater, was a 12-6 almost romp.

Me recalling that game for a Cornell undergrad now is like some alter kaker in 1971 waxing rhapsodic about a Cornell sports event of 1921. It's easier for the old farts to look back than for undergrads to imagine it. 1971 was also the year the crew came from nowhere to win the IRA.

In Arabic it would seem threatening.

Sudden-death overtime still sucks. TV time is so tight you can't play a 4-minute period? Maybe we're biased because Cornell outscored Maryland 4-1 in OT in 1976's title game but it was Maryland that got the first goal.

Saturday, 3 of 4 NCAA D1 quarterfinal games went to OT.
Duke 10, Loyola 9
Maryland 14, Notre Dame 13
NC 12, Rutgers 11
Virginia 14, Georgetown 3

Semifinals are
1 NC vs. 4 Virginia
2 Duke vs. 3 Maryland
... be prepared for some BS stories, "The South Takes Back College Lacrosse." Just so long as they don't count all the Yankees on their teams.

Did you just royal we?

I approve.

Was lax like hockey with only the Ivies and a handful of northeastern programs sitting out?

I think so. Don't have time to back this up with data. But offhand it's hard to think of a non-Ivy D1 team that didn't play this spring.

It is a bit odd that they do sudden death in lax but not basketball.  Of course if you did non-sudden-death OT in lax you'd need to impose an automatic stall warning or shot clock on any team that took the lead.

Better to have two four-minute overtime periods...as it used to be.  Lacrosse has a shot clock.
