LAX NCAA selections

[Knight Owl]

At Large IN:
Maryland
Duke
Notre Dame
Denver
UVA
Cornell
Syracuse
Bucknell

Last four out:

Villanova
RU
Vermont
Navy

I’ll be shocked if the actual at-large bids differ. RU and Villanova “had the wheels come off” against good teams down the stretch.

 

[biazza38]

The ACC getting four in is outrageous. We dug our own grave, so that’s that

 

[TDIrish27]

I don't see Cuse over Rutgers personally

ND isn't an At Large

 

[RUTrack94]

Stop. Just stop. Why worry about something you can’t control that’s not going to happen? Start the acceptance now to avoid getting worked up later.

ACC does not have an auto bid, so all ACC schools that make it in are At Large.

 

[TDIrish27]

Does the Big Ten have an auto bid ?

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Does the Big Ten have an auto bid ?

Yes, a conference needs 6 or more teams to qualify for an auto bid.

 

[TDIrish27]

OK

Thanks

 

[rbled]

First off, the only way Vermont or Nova is getting into the tourney is if they buy tickets. Second, Cuse is far from a lock. I actually think Cuse is out and one of RU/OSU is in. I do think Bucknell gets in.

Ive said it from the getgo...THE HOP is not IN the Big Ten
they need to go.....

So the conference is now a 5 team league?

Well, put Yale in the at-large club and Cornell in the AQ club. As odd as it seems, RU may pass 'Nova and Bucknell in the 'numbers' game due to the fact that Bucknell and 'Nova each beat Yale. If Yale drops out of the top 5 in the RPI, then some shuffling of positions may occur. The 'numbers' will be VERY CLOSE.

A guy with Irish in his name oughta know that.

Yes they are as the ACC does not have an auto
qualifier

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Nova in

 

[Bms22]

And that’s a wrap.

 

[Rulax-LI-85senior st]

What a joke with Villanova. Worse RPI and strength of schedule.
And with Syracuse and Cornell at Syracuse.
Three big east teams and three Acc? Joke.

 

[bigmatt718]

I don't know why I even bother following this sport. It's a circle jerk between the ACC teams for the most part.

4 ACC, actually (Virginia is unseeded but in)...

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Espn analysts taking it to chair of selection cmt.

Dirty pool here. Regardless If RU screwed itself. Cuse having to travel???

4 ACC; 3 BE and B1G 2; give me a break. No respect for the B1G conference. Nova has no right to be in the tourney.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Nuts that Syracuse gets a home game over Cornell when their record is worse, their RPI is worse - and oh yeah, they lost by 5 goals when the two teams played. Pathetic.

Villanova doesn't belong either. The bracket is a joke.

But I thought our chances of getting in today was around 1% so I am not surprised at all.

 

[rbled]

I give up. Nova. Seriously? HTF does Cuse get a home game and Ru stays home. 4 ACC vs. 2 B1G - what was the ACC’s record vs. B1G again? What a fvcking joke.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

This is where Delaney needs to step in. Maybe now that tOSU gets hurt someone will say something.

 

[Rulax-LI-85senior st]

Big ten conference must do something. This is ridiculous. Big east with three Acc with four when the big ten was 6-2 vs that conference along with Syracuse getting home game?

 

[bigmatt718]

Exactly. OSU is one of the Golden Children of the B1G along with Michigan. Bet that's the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as Delany putting legal pressure on the Committee.

 

[dconifer]

I agree with that. The ACC floundered this season until conference play, when they beat each other for "quality wins". As an ACC ex-pat I like those teams, but what you said is undeniable...

 

[Leonard23]

What a joke. Selection committee is a fraud.

It is what it is ... shit, rinse and repeat.

Just beat the living crap out of everyone again. Rooting for the Terps and Hopkins pains me to say it to get it done.

 

[Rulax-LI-85senior st]

What the selection committee head said about why they chose Villanova didn't make sense.

 

[RU MAN]

What total BS this committee is. Either add more teams or change how teams are selected. Rutgers would beat at least 5 or 6 of these teams by 3 or more goals. What a scam. What a joke the lacrosse tournament is.

 

[bigmatt718]

Cuse, UVA and Nova are going to get slaughtered in the First Round. Mark my words.

 

[Knight Owl]

What the selection committee head said about why they chose Villanova didn't make sense.

They went by the power ratings and I knew they would. I had 'Nova making it by about 3 o'clock after the Ivy final finished up (maybe another thread).

 

[mikefla]

once again Syracuse is 1 game above .500 got beaten by Rutgers, Cornell, Albany, Navy & Virginia..and got in....the NCAAA is a joke!

I hope my BIG RED kill Cuse.

 

[78CollegeAve]

What, someone thinks that Delany knows that there are lacrosse programs in the B1G? If it’s not football or men’s hoop, don’t hold your breathe waiting for the B1G mangement to care. Other than a couple schools that squeeze out a few bucks or break even on hockey, every program not named football and men’s baaketball are money-losers and Delany has shown that he is all about making money. As long as the NCAA stays out of the B1G television revenue, he couldn’t care less about lacrosse.

Cornell has a week to figure out what to do if Syracuse clamps Teat the way Princeton and Brown did. If they do they could be playing Memorial Day weekend. If not it could get ugly early. I hope they bury the Cuse.

I'm a Cornell fan in the tourney. I really like the cut of their jib. Not to mention I bet they whip Cuse.

He’s all about money but your last comment is flat-out wrong. He wants titles in EVERY sport, EVERY year, make no question about it, and the more teams in each tournament the better the odds.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wasn’t it an all B1G final last year?
