Down goes #2 Denver

Denver won 20 of 22 faceoffs and still lost. *

Huge for us. *

Just saw that. I don't even know what a "ride" is (sounds

kinky, barely legal) but I know getting rid of Denver = no excuses.

Duke, hide your women and secret your valuables. We're coming for you and it won't be pleasant.

To answer your question, a "ride" is the tactics and ...

formations a team uses to prevent the team that now has the ball from "clearing" it from their defensive end of the field into their offensive end of the field. A team has 30 seconds from the time they gain possession to get the ball into the box on the offensive end. ND uses what could be considered the lacrosse equivalent of basketball's "full-court press" for their ride.

Duke lost yesterday, so they're done too *

Which is intrinsically good *

There you go. See how SMRT I is? Anyone to worry about

besides UNC?

There is some unfinished business with UNC *

Things are opening up nicely

Revenge against UNC and then we have beat either Loyola or Towson to play on Memorial Day? I'll sign up for that.

Brown looked pretty good. I think they'll come out of the other side of the bracket.

I'd like to see someone take Maryland out

I'm no more eager to play them again than UNC is to play us again.
