Cornell lax — 2025 playoffs

[BearLover]

Pretty sure Cornell will get the 1-seed if they win the Ivy tournament and Maryland does not win the Big 10 tournament

Even if we lose by 10, we should be in. If not, it's a crime. I.e.- Shedeur sanders. lol

There is 0 chance Cornell doesn't make the tournament. The committee released its rankings prior to Cornell's last two games (wins against Harvard and Dartmouth). Cornell was #1.

The real question is if Cornell will get a top-3 seed if they lose to Yale. I would guess if they lose to Princeton in the final a top-3 seed is highly likely.

Cornell gets the winner of the Albany/Siena play-in. Anyone have a preference?

I wouldn't want Richmond in the first round. They can play. North Carolina has them.


Ohio State - Notre Dame in the first round. That will be a game.

And we get the winner ...

Five upstate NY teams in the tournament. Very nice

Don't like that we're set to play UNC at all. Not concerned about the first round but it'll be a fun game to watch and hopefully our first good weather home game of the season.

I like our bracket. We'll be heavily favored in the first two games, but we can't take anything for granted. I don't think we will.

In the semifinal, should we get that far, I wouldn't mind seeing Penn State again: a little unfinished business there, and the team would definitely be up for it. Probably we'll see Ohio State though.

Maryland, the team of our deepestdarkestnightmares, will have to get through Princeton to make it to the final.

And we get the winner

Must win two before that one.

That would seem as good an opponent at that stage of the tournament as any. Who else would you want—-Syracuse? Notre Dame? They're all credible teams at that point.

Yeah I would rather play cuse or PSU but I'm still confident we can beat UNC of course.

It's pretty clear now that we can beat anyone in the country. The key is which teams will be the hardest to beat or stand the best chance of beating us.

I will say: It's an injustice that Army is not in this tournament. Of course, they have only themselves to blame, etc., but they are better than a lot of teams here. I was actually a little worried about how we would match up against them.

Do we know yet where the quarterfinal games will be played? Higher seed campus or neutral site(s)?
