This guy has been pretty on top of things. The UM loss really hurt us. I think I am on board as of right now. Two wins gets us on the bubble and we will need help, unless we make the championship game of the B1G tourney.

Here is the best analysis I have seen on the crazy B1G season. Not sure we've ever seen this much possibility. It seems we are on a collision course with Maryland in the B1G tourney, whether at their place or ours. I wouldn't put any money on anything though. This conference is completely crazy this year.
That guy is good - followed him before. Yeah, thought the Mich loss didnt hurt too much for lowering RPI but it hurt since it took us off the bubble watch. It's just continue to win and see what happens (honestly, at this point, I'd just be happy with 3rd place in the conf tourney and hosting a game). That SB loss is a real drag.
Much prefer to play Michigan. Decent chance to win that game.
Another trip to State Penn will likely be quite similar to yesterday's debacle, sadly.
Watching this OSU-Michigan game, one can’t help but wonder how these two football schools have passed us as lacrosse programs. I’m guessing NIL plays a big part, as Cali has mentioned that the OSU starting 10 were paid $1 million this year, and I would guess Michigan probably has similar funding.
It’s so fvcking annoying and maddening that the same well funded schools are good in basically every sport.

The 2 straight Natty's pobably gives us more weight than we deserve this year.
Beat # 5 UNC in Chapel Hill today 12-6.
Geezus. OSU scores 4 goals in a row in just a few minutes to take a 9-8 lead with 1:50 left. Stunning turn of events, and a great lacrosse game.
10-8 OSU final. We are heading to Michigan. Love this. Catch them on a let down.
Playing Michigan gives us a chance. Not so great is that Rutgers and a program that has only been around for 13 years (Michigan) are the only Big Ten programs to never win a regular season or conference championship. Ugly stuff.
You couldn't ask for a better bracketology if you are RU. Never thought we matched up well with PSU and we avoid an early revenge match against Maryland. Yes, we have to win three in a row to capture a bid. Tough task, and any reasonable person would say we have no chance. The odds are totally stacked against us. If this were any other sport, I would say no way. But this is lacrosse, and those of us have been around for any lengthy period of time would tell you that you don't ever count anyone out.
Kind of ironic that we had success against two of our nemesis programs this year and couldn't find a path to win against the other three. Part of that is due to the way NIL has changed the game. Unfortunately, we will never be in a position to buy a championship. We have the coach and the facilities to succeed, but we do not have the $$$.
