That's the beauty of the one and done format. It's why March Madness is so commercially successful. Deal with it.
You think Gtown can win twice? I don’t
That 3 minute non-returnable penalty in the 2nd quarter is what let Albany back in the game.
"That 3 minute non-returnable penalty"
I am not an expert on the rules of lacrosse, but my understanding is that penalties can be releasable or non-releasable. If it is a releasable penalty, the other team plays with a man advantage but the penalized player is released from the penalty box if the other team scores, and in effect the remaining time on the penalty is wiped out. A non-releasable penalty, on the other hand, means the player remains in the penalty box for the entire duration of the penalty, no matter how many times the opposing team scores. The more severe personal fouls, e.g., cross-checking, may result in a non-releasable penalty.
Thanks! yea, it helps with the understanding and terminology.
Still have two more to win and Syracuse is very dangerous (I'd rather get Denver). They played us close. Faison had a nice goal today and Todd Lyght's son is l(y)ghts out on D. Freshman All-American. Go Irish!
Lynch is my guy (Chaminade alum)....
Denver's defense was as good as could be in the first half, but as you say, we just took over in the third quarter.
You hit the nail on the head. Lynch was (and has been for the season) dominant on faceoffs. Hard for the other team to score when they cannot get the ball. You hope to go 50/50 on faceoffs, but we won almost 80% of them. And having Liam Entenmann in goal--he's the best in the country--makes it awfully tough for the other guys. Great win today. Hope we can bring home the bacon on Monday in the championship game.
Good guy, I call him Hollywood
I like it that way....
