History suggests that this will be a tight game. Syracuse just seems to play in tight games, no matter what. It’s as if they’d rather risk losing than play in a blowout. As a fan, that is just fine with me. But that is not the point of our Towson vs Syracuse Preview. Programming note: […]
Each week, we will look back at the games that were to see which players had the largest individual performances. I say largest because the contributions that we can measure (from play by play) tend to be things that are easy to count. This includes, goals, shots, assists, turnovers, penalties, etc. We can’t measure a […]
Yale at Syracuse is one of the most anticipated games of the opening weekend. Which of Sunday’s #NCAALax Championship matchups are you most looking forward to watching on @ESPNU?— NCAA Lacrosse (@NCAA_Lax) May 12, 2017So we would be remiss to not create a Yale vs Syracuse Preview.

Loyola vs Ohio State has been one of the more talked-about games this weekend. Mainly because everyone is in agreement that Loyola is one of the tougher unseeded teams, which doesn’t seem a just outcome for the team who earned the #3 overall seed. But that is the world that we live in, where matchups are […]
I created a handy infographic showing the NCAA lacrosse tournament first round games. The win percentages were calculated using the Lax-ELO rating for both teams. Game times are ET and all games this weekend are available on ESPNU. Happy tournament time!
NCAA tournament action kicks off today with Monmouth vs Bryant from Rhode Island. It’s a bizarre play in game because these two teams are number 2 and 3 in the nation in terms of defensive prowess. In basketball, play-in-games tend to be two cupcakes ready to get served up to Kentucky. We have two teams here […]
According to our Lax-ELO model, Duke is the only away team favored in the first round of the NCAA Men’s lacrosse tournament. Based on Lax-ELO they have a 64% chance of defeating Johns Hopkins and advancing to the second round.But this is not an article about seeding. We want to use this space to talk about […]
