Absolutely no respect. Hope we smackem and then a rematch against ND.

A freakin joke

[DanesRGood]

If history showed us anything, UA rarely gets any benefits when it comes to the LAX tourney so I doubt it will happen last year.

 

See my post from last week. I knew this was coming. It is total crap. Unreal. If I was Coach Marr I'd be pissed. He has built a great program and gets zero respect.

Paul Carcatarra has UA in the final four!

[Phoenix]

We'll be facing the #7 face-off guy in the nation. Domenic Massimilian won 64.5% of them this year. From the teams we played this year..only Syracuse and Bryant were better.

He won 17 of 29 against us in Dallas, but I liked the way Liles was working Saturday.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

How good was sbus face off guy prior to Saturday? Could Liles be growing into his role

[UAalum72]

Stony Brook now ranked 21st in Faceoff percent.

 

1 Denver, 2 Bryant, 3 Syracuse, 4 Cornell, 38 Notre Dame, 40 Albany

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

So that's encouraging. He won 20 of 33 from a superior opponent. If we get 40-50 percent we should win every time

Any word on a BUS to watch UA humiliate cornell and the ncaa selection committee?

 

On the espnu selection show the commentators were almost speechless at times over the committees seedings and left outs. The committee used criterion much different than any other year, including setting rematch games which have universally been discouraged past years. When the selection committee head said Princeton was left off due to their loss to Stony Brook, Quint said the committee obviously did not know just how good a team Stony Brook is {with implications just how GOOD UA IS}. Lax Power had UA #6 early Sunday morning and cornell #12 or 13 (I think), based on ncaa selection criteria formulas developed from historical perspectives. One of the announcers yesterday had cornell as a bubble team, but quickly corrected himself as I am sure he felt a bubble to an eight was his error (but I am sure he was just too astounded to make an issue of it).

 

Anyhow, I disagreed with many of you who said the ncaa would find a way to dis UA again. I stand corrected and admit you all were right! Hopefully the team will make them pay for the lack of respect.

Stony Brook now ranked 21st in Faceoff percent.

Damn ND is 38th! Would have never known from last years debacle.

From Inside Lacrosse:

 

 

Albany Put On the Road for Big Red Rematch

Albany earned its bid with the America East AQ, but it doesn’t seem the committee was overly impressed by the Danes’ resume, making them travel to nearby Cornell for the opening round. Cornell was looked at as a bubble team after losing in the Ivy League semis, and we had them rated lower than Albany in terms of at-large resume and strength of schedule. Of course, one of Albany’s two losses on the year was a head-to-head, neutral site defeat at the hands of the Big Red, so I guess that’s enough for a seeded spot and the right to host the contest. If anyone in the field has a bone to pick, its appropriately the Danes.

[DanesRGood]

From bubble to 8. Yuck...
