Gotta win the ACC all over again!

Well, we've done it once, let's do it again

 

[GoSU96]

ND is a number one seed for the same reason OSU got in over traditional teams.

The past 3 years was strictly RPI... This year they decide to use human intelligence?
Give me the computers...

It was always going to be that way, the only other team that has a chance is Denver.

Not a very informative tweet.

Shocking, Sunday at 7:30

 

[Whitey23]

5 NYS teams in the tourney.

Think being a 2 seed works in our favor.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Hope Uva And marist take care of business

I love our side of the bracket. Really, is there anyone on there that scares you? Bryant? Please. UNC? 1-1 against them. The rest I won't even sweat over.

Hopkins got a major break, drawing the weakest ACC entry.

SU deserved top seed, but it won't hurt to have a little chip on their shoulder.

Agreed but assuming SU handles Bryant like they should they get to avoid Duke ND Denver and Albany, sounds good to me

 

[JOC44]

I don't agree with this reasoning. The only reason the ND-Cuse analysis is close is BECAUSE ND won head to head. So using head to head as a tiebreaker is double counting it.

That said, I think I'd rather be in the bottom half of the bracket and avoid Duke/Denver.

That's what we said last year. Pressler is a great coach. Most of that team has already enjoyed beating Syracuse in the Dome. Their goalie can be hot. I hate this match-up.

P.S. Carcatera & Quint aren't wild about our defense.

“@matt_schneidman: Some Syracuse lacrosse players not too happy about not receiving the No. 1 seed. I can't say I blame them.

 

[Delmar]

Love being the 2. Avoids Denver and Duke, gives the players a chip on their shoulders.

You can make an argument for ND to be the #1. It's no big insult.

 

[Jake]

But it really was about findings a way to put ND and Denver together because of travel. Silly.

ND would be playing either Cornell or Albany in the quarterfinal game in Denver.

They wouldn't meet Denver until the Semifinals in Philly.

Better them than us.

I'd rather play in the Annapolis.

2 seed is bogus but it seems to be working to our advantage. Obviously has the team pissed and will probably have them more focused. I have to say if your going to shift SU on the 1 seed could u at least have sent Bryant to nd?

Bryant is 8-9 this season, and may not get past Marist.
