ESPNU Selection Sunday Thread...

[Alsacs]

How the did we get sent to Delaware?
As the 2 seed we should have been given Hampstead.

This committee is a bleeping joke.

 

[Delmar]

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

Fair enough. You are right, but I'm still pissed. Denver does not deserve their good fortune. Go Falcons.

I know it's their only Lacrosse 30 for 30 but ESPN following the selection show with Fanstastic Lies about the Duke Lax scandal against this year kinda makes me uncomfortable.

Yes. Delaware is on Sunday.

Great to see someone gets it. Really hope Desko says something and blasts the process/committee.

Is Delaware grass or turf?

Tubby Raymond Field at Delaware Stadium

Field Turf in 2009

 

[Delmar]

Yes. Delaware is on Sunday.

If we ever get there ...

Meanwhile, Hopkins is a 6th seed. Really? Obviously, one of the factors in determining tournament teams is proximity to Homewood field.

A six seed with an 8-6 record. Really?

Say what you want about the NCAA hoops committee every year, but at least they're answering questions about their decision making process after the selection show. There is minimal logic when determining the lax brackets. There's no reason they can't explain their reasoning for the matchups.

 

[Alsacs]

We lost to Army and North Carolina.
Who else?
The bleeping NCAA bracket has us 12-3.

Might want to take a look but I'm going to guess that Delware and Hofstra are similar distance from Syracuse. Slight overreaction.

I'm surprised they got Yale into the 1st round but like our side of the bracket.

Blowjays are seeded way too high and Maryland got hosed having to face Albany UNC winner

If we had the same record as Hopkins we wouldn't have made the field.

Quints gonna give his Final Four...

Denver and Hopkins are the big winners. Losers are UNC, Maryland and Albany, all of whom could have been final four teams but only of them can be. Also the Ivies. Winning the Ivy League gets you a 15 seed because the selection committee doesn't want to fly the Air Force anywhere.

Couldn't the Air Force fly itself?

lol - I thought the same thing. I was wracking my brain to remember who else we lost to.

Yep, it's 280 miles from Syracuse to both UD and Hofstra. No difference in travel time.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Atta boy, Quint.

Carc and Anish have our back.

looks like UNC and Loyola are the two flights in the first round. Loyola is 412 miles to OSU

It is close in terms of distance. But I'm guessing a lot expected Hofstra and were making plans for that site. I'm included -- and Delaware is out for me.

Any time one gets to avoid Long Island is a win though.
