March to Memorial Day: NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament

I went to MD @ UNC and the Terps looked good. I think they're the best team, but always seem to find a way to lose.
I'd like to see some new blood in the Final Four - Penn St, Albany, Marquette.

There's controversy that Hop. with a mediocre record is still seeded at #6 in D.I.

Hopkins will always get the benefit of the doubt. They are the Duke or Alabama of lax.

I think this is the year MD doesn't shite the bed and wins it.

I haven't seen Denver this year, but if they're like the Pioneers of the last three or so years, they can beat anybody if they maintain their discipline and play with a minimum of mistakes (of course that applies to every club, no?) But Denver, when they control themselves and the tempo on offense are pretty much unstoppable.

From the little I've seen, this year, there SEEMS to be a great deal of parity.
I could be wrong, though.

Div. I Bracket

Ohio State has just as good of a chance as the top teams.

I'd like to see them make a run.

Lost in OT in the B1G conference tournament final vs the Terps.

I think Maryland is the best team, but it's hard to pick them with any confidence. Wide open after that.

Yeah, there are no standouts. Denver has the best FOGO in the game (and possibly the best all time) but their goalies are terrible.

Duke is balanced but very young, and I think next year is their year, not this year. Maryland is a legit 1, Ohio State could also be competitive.

Hopkins has a 6 seed is absurd.

UNC not showing up in Albany.

Duke's 19-6 win over Hopkins might not even be the most lopsided win of the day

Connor Fields, Trevor Baptiste, and Justin Guterding are all showing they are the best players in college lacrosse.

The seeding is screwy all over. Duke as an 11, Albany as an 8, Denver as a 5. The most egregious by far were UNC as a 9, Marquette as a 13 while Hofstra doesn't even get in, and Hopkins as a 6.
