The only hope I would see is if BOTH Scarelli and Sommer return to the lineup fully healthy. Still an uphill battle even with both of them, but NOT "losing 12-2" type of uphill battle.Is there a single reason to think it's not going to turn out the same was as the debacle there 9 days ago?
Ill go with three. Unless there is complete chaos in the autos.Since the other tournament thread containing discussion about how many B1Gs might advance to the NCAAs was locked for some reason -- what do you all think about that? I am expecting only the automatic qualifier to advance, honestly...

OSU lives or dies with Fyock's performance in the B1G tourney.Maryland's record isn't the best but their metrics are solid. Hopkins seems safe. Penn St. has a better case than a number of bubble teams. Ohio St is the one on the outside, imo.
I can see them making a little run. Their D is just too good to ignore. Big, fast, and nasty across the board. Their offense sputters a long but that D will keep them in most any game. I can see them beating Michigan at home, then taking Hopkins on the road at Rutgers. Seems to be a bit of a house of horrors at SHI for Hopkins, and the one way to get ahead of OSU is to go early in unsettled offense, and that is not something that Hopkins likes to do. They are a grind the shot clock down team which plays into OSU's strength.OSU lives or dies with Fyock's performance in the B1G tourney.
Maryland has history being a top tier lacrosse school.Rutgers hosting the final four league championship games but likely will 'lose to Maryland.in the quarter finals.
