Question, Cali:
Who will be the 1 seed in the B1G tourney if RU beats OSU and Hopkins beats Maryland?
All 3 would be 4-1 in conference and 1-1 against the other 2.

I would assume Maryland based on them being the highest ranked team, but I don't know. If we beat OSU, it really gets complicated. We all beat OSU, we beat Hopkins, Hopkins would beat Maryland in this scenario and Maryland beat us.
It's a great question, I honestly don't know.

Regardless of who gets the 1 seed, we all have to win 2 games to get the championship and all 4 teams (even if the fourth is PSU or OSU) are good, so I don't see seeding as that important like a 14-seed Bball bracket or something.
Why this scenario happening IS important, is because (even though it would be shared), it would give Rutgers it's first Big Ten championship in any team sport. We'll know more at around 4pm tomorrow ....

Semifinal will be very tough regardless. If RU can't get the 1 seed, it means either playing Hopkins on its home field or playing Maryland, which looks like the toughest team to my amateur lacrosse eye.
Earlier this week Laxmagazine had the possible outcomes for Big ten ..... Scroll down to the Scenarios part 1 section of this article:

Thanks for the info. Here's a working link.

Interesting that our game is meaningless for our B1G seeding, although obviously it is very important to any at-large bid chances.
For those who did not click: we will be the #2 seed and face #3 Johns Hopkins if the Terps beat JHU, and we will be the #3 seed and play Maryland if JHU wins.

Huh? I don't believe that's the case. We can finish as either the 2nd or 3rd seed.
Nuts, the link showed the seeding for every combination of outcomes this weekend. According to the chart, the only thing that affects our seed us the Maryland-Hopkins game.
Just happy to be in the mix, being a factor and having meaningful games down to the wire.
Its been a loooong time coming and I LOVE it!!!!!!

Okay gotcha now I was looking at that after a few and was like "uhm...we can finish 2nd or 3rd" lol!
Maryland is damn good. PSU will want revenge. Hopkins kids are probably still looking down their noses at us thinking there's no way they could lose to us again (and IMHO we're a better team, regardless...).
I think Hop has a lot of respect for us. They are now missing their top 4 middies. Still very dangerous, but we match up with them well.
Maryland Hopkins will be interesting.
Maryland Hopkins will be interesting.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of this game with respect he NCAA tourney. RU's worst nightmare will occur if Army and Duke win tomorrow. Any blemish on their record at this point will destroy their chances. And they'll need at least a semi-final win next week to stay in the hunt.
#2 seed Rutgers plays #3 seed Hopkins on Thursday, 5 May. Winner plays winner of Md vs Penn St for the B1G championship on Sunday.
This Big Ten lacrosse conference is really exciting, in only its 2nd year. The B1G didn't have enough lacrosse teams for their own conference until Md, Rutgers, and Hopkins joined. Brilliant expansion!

Agree.
If the players like it, so be it.
But I'm not a fan of the regular season game in a big FB stadium like ours or any of them.
This hasn't been nearly as entertaining to watch as the PSU game. Faceoffs and turnovers, so much time on defense against the slooooow Buckeye offense.
Faceoffs are crucial. Need a real shot clock in the 4th quarter where it has to be on goal not just close.
The attack did not come to play. And as mentioned above very sloppy. You gotta catch and throw.
The college game needs a shot clock next year. The subjective delay and the shot clock discretion by the refs needs to change. The shot also needs to be within the 6 X 6... Similar to hoops hitting the rim, otherwise It should be a turnover.

If we beat Hopkins we are still a strong chance.
Just not our day today. Blown call gave them a goal, plays we typically make with ease not happening, poor face off play and a few suspect goals. The boys fought, but didn't have enough to combat all that and some bad luck.
They remind me of us last year and vice versa.
Gotta beat Hopkins Thursday. Lots to play for.
