ESPNU Selection Sunday Thread...

Just thankful we're avoiding Albany/Carolina in the quarters.

That's assuming we get out of the first round.

 

[CuseIsInTheHouse]

This happens ever year. Why is everyone surprised?

 

[PhatOrange]

Joke or no joke Syracuse should handle Yale and Penn State. I would be very disappointed if we didn't get to the final four.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Ohio State 'ed as well, they get Loyola while ND gets Air Force.

 

[Alsacs]

Wow we got a break no duke potentially in QFs

I smell another 1 goal game.

Geography > Resume re: seeding. Again. Un. . Real.

All that connotes is lacrosse is a 4th tier sport. Embarrassing.

 

[Alsacs]

So it's Syracuse-Yale and Penn State-Towson

That limb looks awfully thin, my friend.

 

[cuseguy]

Duke should be a 6 seed and Hopkins unseeded. Crazy.

 

[jtorange]

placement criteria :

"The top eight seeds are given priority for hosting, and from there, the committee places teams first geographically (attempting to avoid teams having to travel over 400 miles) then based on the integrity of the matchup. Members also try to avoid creating rematches from the previous year.

Once teams are placed, committee members go back over the bracket to check for conflicts, and if none are found, they will formally adopt the bracket."

These are apparently the guidelines. I'm guessing folks are opposed to the guidelines. It does appear the guidelines were followed at least to some degree (geography being more important than integrity).

Our traditional Sunday Pin Placement.

 

[Toga]

Good to be a 2.

As a very casual fan it's clear that the NCAA operates lacrosse like it's a low tier sport. Shame.

Firman on Reeves. Bomberry on fellow Canadian Gaudet. Giddy up!!

 

[Delmar]

We got screwed. The regular season means nothing. If we had lost 3 more games, we would not have a better route to the championship.

We'd be where UNC is playing Albany & then MD.

 

[cuse91]

a lot of teams got bad draws. we got a good one. not saying the first two rounds will be easy but we got it easier than the 1 seed Maryland

 

[cuseguy]

SU to Delaware for quarters. Well, so much for attending that game.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

Carcaterra is so dissapointed

 

[cuseguy]

Is Delaware grass or turf?

 

[CreaseRat]

Ummm... I wouldn't want to switch places with Ohio St or Albany. Regular season meant a lot.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Wow, didn't realize UNC is 16-13 in their last 2 regular seasons/ACC tourneys. That title run sure masks a lot

 

[wvlax]

Quarterfinal at Delaware not sure if thats correct.
