looks like this didnt take into consideration the Yale win.

I would be surprised if we arent a top 4 seed by years end

This was released earlier yesterday. Obviously, there will be a ton of movement, but I am fully prepared for Penn St to be placed in Syracuse's bracket. This takes into consideration that SU is a top 8 seed and Penn St actually makes the tournament. And BC is currently on the outside looking in, what a shame. Again, im sure a lot will change.

 

[What'sUp?]

Lots of potential for Cuse to go far in the tournament. Did anyone see yesterday's game vs Yale? Kudos to Coach DeFoe's Defense (includes the Middies that play up top) and Dan the goalie. I say "lots of potential" because Cuse beat a better seed while leading in turnovers and not winning most draws. Cuse has the NCAA's most challenging schedule, going against 11 top 25 teams (which includes numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4). If they win the rest, Cuse should end-up #4 or #5

Welcome aboard. Don’t be a stranger! A lot of exciting lacrosse from this edition of the Orange lately!

I wouldnt be surprised if we end up a 3-4 seed by seasons end. If we continue to play defense like we have
