Cornell lacrosse 2023

[CU77]

How corrupt is the tourny selection now?  It's not purely deterministic like hockey, right?  Does the Baltimore Mafia still have room to do their thing?

1) Since the great criteria change of 2009 (the horrific seeding of 2007 forced the NCAA to fix it), it is not at all corrupt. It is, however, somewhat random.
2) It is not deterministic like hockey.
3) No.

Well, that's good!

Chase Ierlan enters the portal for 2024.  I hope this doesn't affect his play this month.

Huh. He played the entire 2019, 2022, and 2023 seasons. 2020 got canceled after 5 games; 2021 got canceled entirely. The fact he still has another year of NCAA eligibility suggests that the shortened 2020 year did not count towards eligibility? So in effect a player could be a college lacrosse player for six seasons?

But I don't understand why, if Ierlan was

"Particularly excellent in 21-save outings in early season wins over Penn State and Yale, [and] he was given third-team recognition in IL's Midseason Media All-American list in late March,"

why 9-3 Penn State consistently sits ahead of 11-2 Cornell in IL's Media Polls. ::demented::

Penn State sits ahead of Cornell in the rankings because their RPI is better and they beat Cornell head to head by 4 goals. Unfortunately that ranking seems correct.

I would love for Cornell to see Penn State in the Big Dance.

[CU77]

I would love for Cornell to see Penn State in the Big Dance.

Likely only if Cornell first beats Duke, UVa, or ND, who will be the top 3 seeds. Cornell is looking at a 6 to 8 seed.

Unless Cornell loses to Yale, then they could be unseeded and sent to PSU in first round. ::doh::

You missed the joke. IL says Ierlan was "particularly excellent" in an "early season win ... over Penn State." They probably meant Penn or can't tell the difference between PSU and UofP.

He wasn't bad at all against Penn State. He allowed 10 goals on 31 shots, or 67%.

The problem is we had 2 guys shooting 60 percent of our shots and making only 4 total.

If we win the Ivy League championship, I assume we will get a home ncaa game? What if we lose in the final? Or lose in the semi?

Terry Foy's Top 20 article at IL has a lot of interesting stuff: https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/ ... tter/61296

He mixes his opinions in with his discussion of each top 20 team. Of interest to Cornell fans is the discussion on evaluating attackmen on more than goals and assists that's discussed with his #12 team, Michigan.

Yale is going to be a tough foe on Friday. Even though Cornell beat Yale easily during the regular season, that was six weeks ago. Yale has a 5-game winning streak during which it has outscored its opponents 88-52. I've seen them play in person twice and their offense is explosive, especially in transition.
