    Was surprised at how close it was yesterday, but then again pretty much every first round game was very close this past weekend. Draw to get to Memorial Day is favorable for us. Hopefully we can take care of a very hot Michigan team on Saturday to advance to Championship Weekend. Could be...

    Ha, you know me well. Nothing better than rooting on our squad in May.

    Ha, I've been around, just not posting the past few years. Hope all is well with you! This lacrosse team is salvaging my sports viewing this spring. Was in a dark place after we lost to Tennessee a couple of weeks ago.

    Huge win at Virginia on Friday night, and now we're #1 in the polls. Hopefully we can keep things rolling at #2 Notre Dame on Saturday. This team has a really great blend of talent at every level, which is something we have been lacking the past few years. Really love how the defense is playing...

    Ball would be placed at or closest to the spot of the foul. The remainder of regulation would still play out if the clock stops with time left in regulation, with the fouling team playing a man down.

    Really disappointed in how out of sorts we looked on Saturday against Maryland. We had the talent to win that, but our offensive sets were a complete disaster. Kudos to UVA and Maryland for playing a hell of a title game yesterday. Sowers and Giles-Harris will be the biggest departures heading...

    Our offense was not flowing like it normally would. Sowers had an off game, in my opinion as crazy as that sounds with scoring 4 points, after the defense keyed on him. We need much better ball movement, and we certainly have the weapons available so that we don't need to be a one-man show with...

    That game yesterday had my anxiety through the roof. Thrilled we made it back to Championship Weekend. Hopefully we can get a good week of practice in and work out any lingering issues before a very tough matchup against Maryland on Saturday.

    They've got a pretty big hurdle this weekend against a Northwestern squad that is a perennial title contender. Hopefully they can pull the upset and make it to the Final Four.

    Caught a bit of a break in my opinion with Loyola pulling the upset against Denver last night. Hopefully that makes getting to Memorial Day weekend a lot easier. Looking forward to the Elite 8 matchup on Sunday afternoon.

    Also kudos to the guys who made the All-ACC Team, and a special shoutout to Brennan O'Neill for being named Freshman of the year! https://theacc.com/news/2021/5/12/athlete-awards-acc-announces-2021-mens-lacrosse-all-acc-team-and-award-winners.aspx

    We got a tough draw, but this team has the talent to win #4. Will be a hell of a challenge likely going through Denver and Maryland or Notre Dame to make it to the championship game, where UNC will likely be waiting. Looking forward to see how we do.

    I know Maryland is undefeated, but Rutgers is really the only decent win they have this season. Meanwhile, Duke has beaten 3 top-5 teams, as well as Syracuse and Denver. I don't see how our resume can be worse than Maryland simply because we dropped a game to a top-5 Notre Dame team. Should be...

    Chance for revenge tonight against Notre Dame. 7pm EST on ACCN.
