Cornell lacrosse 2024

Just want to pay respects to Coach Buczek on playing 2 offensive midfields and giving fairly equal time.  The one problem I had with Coach Tambroni was the way he would double shift his first midfield.

That definitely pays off down the stretch.

Buczek likely remembers when DeLuca kept him on the bench his entire freshman year.

I remember that, too.

Still a mystery considering Buczek quickly showed his talent once he got on the field.

[jjanow99]

If I remember correctly, he didn't even suit up as a freshman. Is that right?

1 goal, 2 shots, 2 SOG; appeared in 5 games, started none

[CU77]

CB scored that 1 goal late against Yale in the opening round of the ILT, when Cornell was way behind. I still remember thinking "why hasn't this guy been getting time???"

[semsox]

Huge game tomorrow. I personally think a W tomorrow solidifies our at-large profile (no 'bad' losses) so that even with an L in the ILT Semis we might sneak in. This of course assumes we take care of business @Dartmouth.

[Al DeFlorio]

How does anyone put Maryland above Hopkins?

[mike1960]

Big discrepancy in the poll positions of Syracuse and The Pennsylvania State.

[semsox]

Those are the preseason USILA rankings, which unfortunately seems what the Inside Lacrosse rankings page defaults to. Actual USILA rankings as of 4/22:

Bracketology on IL has us as number 8-playing Penn State (no!), if we win playing Notre Dame. Oh boy...

And then potentially Syracuse and Denver in the rematch tour.
