MLax 2017

My picture was OK. Oddly the live stats were maybe 10-15 seconds ahead of the video as Chromecast to my TV, until the stats stopped with 4:43 left.

 

Playing #57 Lowell dropped our RPI to #12. Next up #28 Harvard, which has already beaten common opponents UMass-Amherst, UMass-Lowell and Vermont, but only by 3 to 5 goals each, compared to our 9 to 11.

 

7:00 Wednesday, Ivy League Network.

My view was hampered ONLY by a little rain early and cold. Cannot beat being there! But as long as we are complaining about audio/video, the public address announcer and MUSIC are MUCH too loud @ Fallon field. I guess he is trying to compensate for the lack of a crowd? Two friends and I as we were leaving all commented @ the same time "Ah peace & quiet at last." GREAT GAME THOUGH.

The comment I heard from the next room was "If they're going to score twenty goals a game, do they have to play the same song on EVERY goal?

Seems that not only the quality of the streams but the overall coverage of the team is lacking. The lacrosse team has been the most successful program on campus since the Thompson's set foot on campus, and has grown since then. I have no idea what funding looks like or fund raising for the program, but certainly we can get more SID. coverage and a higher quality stream.

Does anyone else feel like if there is a slip up against anyone but Maryland, we will be out of the top 20 in second?

Stony Brook and Bing are both top-25 RPI and receiving votes in polls, so a close road loss to them wouldn't knock us out but would take us down quite a few spots.

If we played top ten teams week in and week out, we wouldn't have to worry about that.

But I do feel blessed that we reside in the American Least.... I mean america east.

 

Maybe we could petition to play in the ACC for lacrosse.

My video was horrible. I might give a slight adjustment to my ranking... maybe 2.77 out of ten.

I don't mind not having play by play, but it then gives it an unprofessional, low-major feel.

It's not how the big dogs do it.

Also we don't play that garbage team from Loudonville this season so we don't have to worry about dropping in the polls or more importantly in the RPI and strength of schedule after a WIN.

Lacrosse Fix for Wednesday, March 29

 

1. Albany’s Connor Fields and Stony Brook’s Kylie Ohlmiller are on pace to break the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s lacrosse single-season scoring records, respectively. Fields is chasing not only a legend, but also his former teammate. He has 53 points (30 goals, 23 assist) through seven games. Two-time Tewaaraton winner and former Great Danes attackman Lyle Thompson had 48 points at the same juncture of his record-setting 128-point campaign in 2014.

So who wants to give me their Ivy League sports password so I don't have to give any more money to the Ivies than I have to?

[UAalum72]

Massey predicts a 14-10 win; Las Vegas Lines has Albany -4.5

 

Who knew there were betting lines on college lacrosse?

FYi..the game is on Facebook Live for free on the Harvard Facebook Page.
