Thanks CW. Just think it funny how the ncaa used the term for years in both lax & even basketball. Basketball got creative by mixing up the "play-in" teams with 13 and I think 8 seeds mixed in and even has various expansion plans under consideration. While the stodgy Lax people seem to drag their feet with tournament expansion; even though DI lax expanding # of teams faster than any other sport. Also, as I wrote in my other post No IVYs, NO Army, etc.. Also in inside lax this am and I may have the numbers slightly wrong; but the article said 7 of the top 8 seeds have a combined 38 loses an all time high. Parity has arrived or at least closer. More and more Really GOOD teams are being left out every year. IMHO Army and two or three of the IVYs could absolutely gone final four. With the NorthEast back next year another auto bid on the table. TIME to EXPAND THE TOURNAMENT. There will always be snubs; and mostly especially in basketball the 65-67 "play-in" teams and snubs really have little or no chance of winning the tournament. But in lax IMHO in this day and age pretty much any team in the top 20 to perhaps as high 24or5, would have a legit and competitive chance to be national champs? THIOUGHTS/OPINIONS welcomed and appreciated.

QUESTION: What/Why has the NCAA resisted expanding the field. NO at large IVY league teams this year. Army was number 1 in the country for a couple weeks this year--lost in the Patroit tournament. In the past IVY multiple at large teams: Patriot usually 1 or 2; even the AmEast has had several years with at large entries. Almost 80 DI teams now; only 17 spots--RIDICULOUS! DIII has 38 in their tournament?????????

Will the PLL be using Casey for their upcoming pre-season practice and opening weekend games?? Will this give enough time for the turf to be ready for football in August??

Need to fix TOPIC heading. UA is already in the ncaa tournament. NCAA has not used "play-in" term in a couple of years. Posted correctly in your post.

At some point; University Presidents or Board of Directors or State Governing Boards are going to see that there is not enough NIL or television or streaming money to support ALL Sports at ALL Schools. Perhaps a few schools but most certainly not many will be able to do so. There will be so few, that those choosing this self destructive route, can have fun “playing with themselves.” FACT NO (maybe a few) Schools in the country make money on college sports. How long do you think the few revenue generating sports are going to be happy carrying the rest. Eventually some real students are going to start wondering why their tuition is going towards paying for the tuition plus extra for a few. And if you want to get technical probably ½ or more professional teams either lose money or are supported by their respective leagues. Got to have enough teams to compete; and they don’t have to even worry about running multiple teams like colleges do. Unless of course you count the NBA that for perspective sake has to support the wnba.

Pro Sports have arrived 🤮🤑. Do you really think it will make UA into a power 5 type program???????????😏

If a NIL is the big news? which is for men's BB only at this point; then not any where near BIG NEWS. Also, School of Business named after the Massry family this week, who have been big UA donors; but nothing new from them mentioned?

GREAT game overall. GO DANE TRAIN!

With as many scholarships UA has to give, seems to me taking a chance on a seven footer--WHY NOT!

Maybe the "RUMORED" field house will have an ice rink in it. 🤑

Are we talking/rumoring a real FIELD HOUSE here. More info RUMORS appreciated🤫.

Racism should never be ignored. Lyle did NOT ignore it, just let his play be his response; and obviously has talked about it often throughout the years to educate and teach. I am sure your quote was NOT condoning Racism, just commenting how the current players involved handled it. IMHO UA and the team pretty much handled it appropriately. Sometimes one must "walk softly and carry a big stick."

Don’t get X; is there anywhere to read more about the full story? As I said in my game post—GOOD RIDDANCE to Mack.

Had at least 3 skirmishes. Each time UA got the worse of the penalties assessed, even though it seemed incidents were started by mack [hard to tell because off camera mostly.] Same thing happened last year @ UA and as I recall fight broke out after final whistle. Merrimack two time DII champion before upgrade to DI, seem to be trying to bull their way into next level. I think next year they go back to NorthEast Conference. Good riddance; but would not mind seeing them knock off Bryant next week.
