Seems pretty reasonable especially going on if the season ended today. I suspect Cuse is looking at Army assuming they win the Patriot no matter how or where we finish unless Syracuse somehow won out and grabbed a top 2 seed. I could see PSU as the other team if Army doesn't win the Patriot and SU stays in that 4/5 seed range. Either game would be a brutal 1st round matchup.

Unless cuse wins out or wins till acc chip more then likely getting a tough team first round or team we rather not. This team is gonna have to really turn it on n step up and not play down to any team n play their best. Gosh hate to see army specially in first round. But don’t see or know who would knock them out of patriot league. Yes Bu beat them but arnt isn’t a team that normally lets same team beat them twice.

Last year it was Sunday 5pm I believe, not the last game.

Last year Cuse had the 5pm game, so there's a chance it could be a repeat of that. To be honest if it wasn't for graduation I would be thrilled to get off the Sun night bandwagon. It's become more of a hindrance than a help.

Depends what time the WLAX game is at the Soccer Stadium.
Last year we played at Yale, so it didn't matter.
If we're hosting at 3 PM, they'll hold off the Men until 7:30 pm.
Ideally they give the Women an 11 AM or Noon start.

I agree personally I hate having to wait around until Sunday night for the game. Would love to have the first game either day.

I pretty much agree with Hart concerning Maryland and the Big Ten. Maryland definitely needs to beat Rutgers at 6pm on Saturday in Byrd or they are out. After that Maryland needs to beat PSU in the semifinals in Pisscataway. This would put Maryland ahead of PSU.
PSU getting a win over Maryland puts them in.
Rutgers needs to win the Big Ten tmt. If they can upset Maryland, they would get the homefield for the semifinals/final.
Looking at the other bracket:
If OSU gets by Michigan, they get Hopkins, who they beat earlier in the season in the semifinals. If OSU wins against Hopkins, they are looking pretty good.
Michigan needs to win the Big Ten tmt for the AQ, something they did a couple years ago. Michigan has been playing better the last few weeks - only losing to OSU by 1 this past weekend and beating PSU and Rutgers the previous 2 weekends.

honestly either way bracket falls wasn’t gonna be easy road or easy path. As stated many times unless top 1-3 seeds your first round game will be tough. Only way cuse can even reach top 3 i guess would have to win out. Even if they somehow beat ND this week n lose to unc, Nd in semis of acc still don’t think they reach top 3 seeds. Prob have to win out or as said beat Nd this week n win semis of acc. Think if they can beat ND this week n reach acc chip they possibly could reach 3rd seed. But prob also depend on what those other teams did also.
Gosh i hope someone takes out army.

i realize army has been a bad matchup for cuse lately but the orange match up well with this years army team. its a game where mullen should control faceoffs and while their d is good they dont have a total shutdown defender like aj piliate anymore, so joey should get his points and not be a ghost...plus their secondary defenders may not be able to handle leo, thomson, bear, and the rest...i would rather play army than penn state or god forbid a john tillman team...
yale would be an intriguing matchup too. suddenly they look legit

Army scares me cause not only talent but well coached n their physical. But what really always scares me of them is the discipline they have. As we do not always have that. Mean they are in the army so makes sense. But yea there few teams i def would not like but there isn’t a good path either way. As said this team will have to be on point n level up asap if they wanna make a run.
