Navy??? Why 8??? JMU 3??? Silliness. SB needs to beat a top team first. USC is not a top team. Lets see how they do against Maryland, UNC, Syracuse, Florida etc. Oh, you say they don't play any of them? Guess they will be a paper tiger until later into the NCAAs.
JMU caught UNC sleeping. Not a top 10 team, plays a week schedule. If truly top 10 will give MD a good game in a month, if #1 the will beat them. But honestly will probably lose to Pen State in 10 days. I'll give stony #1 even though they haven't really played anyone, be more confident if they blow out NU on the 3rd, they do look good and made the west coast look silly. 'cuse is the master of choke, and plays a hectic undisciplined game and will never beat SB, UNC, or MD. To say UNC and MD are 6 & 7th best is silly. BC is good, I'd say 5th right now but we'll see what they do between now and 3/7 after Navy and USC. Anyone who doesn't say MD, UNC, and Stony aren't the top 3 didn't wtch them play this weekend, best lacrosse in the country, the UNC MD game was a fantastic display of top talent, and like I said Stony made the best the west has to offer look like rank amateurs


They will not blow out NU. SB has problems on the draw control. The best in the country at draws resides in Evanston. That alone will prevent a blowout. NUs D also looks good. Yes SB offense is outstanding, but NU gave up 5 goals to the team that SBs defense gave up 10 to without Kerigan Miller on the field most of the game. I think SB should be favored in the game, but not by a lot. Don't sleep on NU in that one. They have the better goalie, the better draw player, at least as strong a defense. And they have a fairly unique home field advantage at windy Lakeside field. Looking forward to seeing if SB can take that one convincingly. It would go a long way towards me feeling like they can go all the way this year.
