Cornell lacrosse 2024

Long not playing, Caddigan at attack with Kirst and Goldstein.

What's going on with Long?

No public word, AFAIK

Ugh. Did he finish last week's game?

[dag14]

Broadcasters talking about Long's absence but they have no idea why he isn't playing.

Yes

You don't see a lot of lift checks anymore. That would help when the opponent loads to shoot.

Per a poster at fanlax on Long:

He is there in street clothes. Nothing obvious coming out to greet team on a play stoppage. 46 not playing either

[mike1960]

RG30 is playing well at X. Moving the ball and finding open cutters.

[mike1960]

12 - 5 Good guys after three quarters.

16 saves for both goalies.
15 turnovers for the Big Green

[CU77]

Cornell wins the game, 15-10, and sole possession of the Ivy League title.

Congrats to the team and coaches on a great regular season.

Ivy League Instagram already says that the bracket is locked in and to be played in Ithaca, is this right even if we lose?

The schedule on the CU site already has us playing Princeton at Schoellkopf Friday, May 3 at 8:30pm.

they really going to start the game at 8:30.  Should be more like 4/7 if they want people to show up

You gotta ask: How difficult is it to broadcast the shot clock?

a) there was at least one other game where the shot clock wasn't in the clock/scores onscreen graphic.
b) at some schools, either the clock doesn't output a signal for time shot clock time remaining, or their software doesn't accept the clock output but if ESPN is supplyng the production equipment (which may be as simple as a laptop and an extra screen or two) and an interface box to to the clock, the software should be the same everywhere.

I wouldn't mind a bigger shot clock, this on a 65" display from 10 feet away. I'd really like to control the size of the scores/clock graphic and what the graphic shows. It'll be do-able someday.

It was a good win. It was clear from the start that the Big Green were going to have an uphill day.

Our offense got the job done, although I think we took a few too many ill-considered shots. The absence of Mikey Long was noticeable. I hope he's ok for the tournament. We need him. RG30 had a couple of questionable moments but was otherwise great at X. CJ proved today that if you don't guard him, and often when you do, he will score goals.

Nice job with the defense. We kept Green from the top side and pushed them down the alleys. We also sent a slider to pick up pretty quick. I also like that we sent a double when the ballcarrier turned his back. That's a recipe for a turnover, and I think we got a couple from that. Too bad about the final three Green goals at the end. 7 is a lot better than 10 for a defense, but good job nonetheless!

Long on sidelines in shorts and black T.  No wraps or bandages.  Walked, moved fine.

Subs in the last regular season game to get some playing time.  Last 3 goals less important than that experience for the players and their families.  I remember when my kid was rookie goalie in as a sacrificial lamb.  Worth every moment!

I'm having a hard time seeing how Cornell could miss the NCAAs at this point. We are 9th in RPI and there are 18 NCAA spots. We had one bad loss the entire season, vs Penn State; the other three losses were by one goal. We blew a lot of teams out. I don't see how the committee could leave Cornell out even if we lose next week.

How many autobids could go to teams who would not get at-large bids?

[upprdeck]

Princeton was out.. Now they are back on the bubble, they could win the IVY

Mich could win the B10

Denver loses to a bad BE team and Gtown loses in the finals could get a WC in from there.

I dont think any other leagues can cause an issue.

We are probably safe but there really isnt a ton of wiggle room,

We are probably the safest of the IVY now and they all cant win 2 games to get ahead of us.
