It's late and I have to get to work early tomorrow, but I wanted to throw out some picks for the lax games going down tomorrow. I will hopefully put up a full analysis of Sunday's games tomorrow afternoon.
Maryland-Syracuse- Maryland played great defense against Notre Dame, but Syracuse is one of the best offenses in the country. In lacrosse, good offense usuallys beats good defense, and Syracuse also brings back the goalie that played great in their Championship run last season. Catalino and Co. will put enough on the board to keep them in the game, but it won't be enough to win or distract people from their awful mullets (or "'Flow" in Maryland lax terms). 'Cuse wins this won by 3-4 goals.
Princeton v Cornell- This is for the real Ivy League title, as the winner gets a trip to Boston a ticket to the Final Four. Cornell has veteran leadership and an amazing first midfield group, but I think top to bottom Princeton is one of the two best teams in the country this year. Coach Bill Tierney has actually modified his entire approach for Tigers this year. They normally play very slow and deliberate offense, and then an agressive, complicated defense. This year, for the first time, he's letting his team's athleticism take over. Their offense is wide open and putting up large numbers, and their defense is simple enough to let his young defenders play aggressively. It's a close one, probably a 9-7 slug fest, but the Tigers will walk away victorious. And, since they are from Princeton, they will also walk away as condescending assholes. Enjoy the Ag school, Cornell lax players . . .
