Guess the writer flunked geography.

[UAalum72]

Not unusual. Last year the Fordham radio announcers said Bailey Hixson was from near Albany. Yeah, Shortsville/Clifton Springs is right around the corner.

You guys are missing the forest through the trees. Its a great article on a huge feather in our AD cap.

FWIW during the UNC/Virginia game on ESPNU on Sunday, one of the announcers (Carcaterra I believe) said if the season ended today he believed Fields would be the Tewaaraton winner.

Lax Vegas Lines has the Danes as 2 1/2 point home dogs today. Let's go!

Massey Ratings predict Albany 13-12, 54% chance of winning.

Nobody is missing anything. Settle down Hammy.

Time to rock and roll. For those of us unable to attend, make some noise from the stands

NCAA Selection Committee releases early ranking, Albany 10th

 

http://www.ncaa.com/news/lacrosse-men/article/2017-04-14/ncaa-lacrosse-championship-how-16-teams-are-selected-mens

 

Within the story is a link to the exact selection criteria

[dslyank]

Unranked Navy knocks of #6 Army; Unranked Drexel [whom we destroyed] knocks off previously unbeaten Hofstra. I think the ncaa would find it difficult to keep UA out of the top 8. By past snubs, I am sure they will try to find a way; but they will be hard pressed to justify doing so.

[UAalum72]

Oop, should've had this link http://www.ncaa.com/news/lacrosse-men/article/2017-04-14/college-lacrosse-championship-selection-committee-reveals-early

 

As of April 9

1 Syracuse

2 Denver

3 Maryland

4 Notre Dame

5 Penn State

6 Ohio State

7 Duke

8 Johns Hopkins

9 Hofstra

10 Albany (NY)

Since then we lost to Maryland, Hofstra lost to Drexel, Penn St. lost to Hopkins

[AlbanyFan2018]

Now up to 8th in the RPI with Hofstra's loss to Drexel.

[UAalum72]

Still fifth in Inside Lax poll, 6th in Coaches' Poll, 8th in RPI

 

Coach on the radio said we hoped for 30 quality shots vs. MD to get 15 goals, we got 26 for 11. Their goalie made a lot of tough saves.

 

A win at Bing (RV, RV, 27th) on Wednesday clinches home field for the playoffs.

[AlbanyFan2018]

If the Danes run the table I think we'll see a first round game in Albany, but a loss to Yale, even with a win in the AE tournament and I think it is another road playoff game. IMO Albany controls its own destiny.

 

We don't need JD to save 60+%, but he needs to start seeing the ball better.
