JHU 13, OSU 12.

With 30 seconds left, the ball, a fluid situation and a defenseman down and behind the play, OSU calls a timeout to organize a play???

And as the color team alluded to, too many passes out of the time out. Need to get off a shot without much risk of a TO. Bad play to end the game, but an entertaining game nonetheless.

Notre Dame beat Duke 8-6.

 

[orange79]

6 minutes left in the 2nd qtr: UNC 10-1 over UVa. Shots are 16-6. Total domination.

Assuming Virginia loses they now have a must win game against Duke to even have a chance for qualifying for the ACC tournament.

were in with unc win tho? I believe

 

[orange79]

I think we are in regardless, if UVa loses today. The best UVa could finish would be 1-3, and the worst we could finish would be 1-3, but we beat them head-to-head, so we would get the tie-breaker there.

Fifth place game against Brown is still a potential quality resume booster.

Assuming that head-to-head is the only tiebreaker that matters.

I'm sure in the ACC fine print there's a rule to screw us.

I'm sure in the ACC fine print there's a rule to screw us.

After googling, there are several articles I found (albeit from previous years) that agree on the tie breakers. Surprising, I could not find anything on the ACC site.

For your reading pleasure:

1. Head-to-head Conference game results between the tied teams.
2. Record versus team(s) occupying the higher position in the standings (or in case of a tie for first place, the next highest in the regular season standings and continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage).
3. Goals allowed in Conference games between the tied teams.
4. Goal differential in Conference games only (goals for, minus goals against between the tied teams).
5. Blind draw.

Edit: Here is the ACC Manual (for 2012-2013). Lacrosse info is on page 60 of the document. The tie breaking procedures are word for word what I posted above. Strange that the 2015-2016 manual is not to be found.

Disaster scanario would be SU losing to UNC and UVa beating Duke (three way tie at 1-3)...

There are two sets of three-way deadlocks that can't be solved solely on head-to-head-to-head. The ACC's tiebreaker in such situation has long been goals allowed in common games.

In the case of a Duke/Syracuse/Virginia three-way tie, Virginia allowed 14 goals to Syracuse, Duke 15 to Syracuse and Syracuse 29 in its games against Duke and Virginia, with the Virginia-Duke game still to come. Since Virginia would need to win to force that tiebreaker, it would have to allow fewer goals than Duke next Sunday and would therefore definitely make the semifinals with a victory.

If UVa beats Duke, they damn well better score at least 15 goals.

In short speak: beat UNC.

I am sure this will come back to haunt me but I don't think were going to have to worry about this. Duke absolutely own UVA under Danowksi and and this current UVA team is a terrible matchup against Duke. Rowe is going to dominate at the X and the midfield for Duke will score plenty. I would be shocked if Duke, lost, shocked.

Is the UVA board aware of your negativity toward their program?
