Let’s say it the way it actually is After top 2 it’s a garbage shoot. NW is great but play absolutely no Defense. Norte Dame is also talented but are too busy playing weak teams and over this season and last short season play cupcake schedule but it’s never discussed on here Minus the top two anything is possible. Teams will improve as year goes on with no fall ball more than they ever have Maryland SB BC would not be shocking if these teams made a run. Penn state nah and Florida will have zero top 20 wins on their resume.
Stony Brook is not in the same class as Maryland or BC, they are not in the same class as Florida or Penn State for that matter. As far as Stony Brook the remaining schedule is a joke. Stony Brook has benefited from a terrific PR Spin machine and the weak schedule they play each year which enabled SBU to show a gaudy regular season record and the players to pad their stats. Look at their record vs Top 10 teams and they come down to earth. That said, SBU is one of the Top 10 - 15 programs but they are on the tail end of that group. BTW. After that group of 10 - 15 there is a big drop off, very few of those teams are competitive with the top teams. There are a hand full of teams that come in and out of the top 20 from time to time but there are 15 - 18 teams that are there just about every year.
Since 2015 here is how Stony Brook has actually done vs teams that finished the season ranked in the Top 10.
Stony Brook Vs Top 10 Teams........ SBU 7 wins - 14 losses. Pretty sure that puts it all in perspective.
Actually you just made me go back and look and Only did because i thought you would have a jaded angle. It is actually 9 wins vs Top ten but when you dive deeper out of the 12 losses ALL are to teams that finished in the Top5 and all but two to teams that finished top 3 and 5 of the 12 were in NCAA quarterfinals. The deeper dive is actually more impressive. Also think most people that comment on here are from LI so the PR is a little more in our faces. Will say having daughters and a son the social media is large large part of recruiting. Lets just all be glad there is lacrosse and stop the venom spewing. My final 4 is Cuse UNC NW and ND good luck to all
I also went back to check.
Your response is neither accurate or factual and demonstrates the type of spin that is spewed on here with regard to Stony Brook on a regular basis. You accuse the person of having a "jaded angle" when all they did was put up some numbers, there was no angle or spin (although I believe the numbers were off by 1 Win and 1 Loss not what I would call jaded they were simply wrong or inaccurate. You then want to change the subject and with stop the "venom spewing" when the post you were responding to spewed no venom at all. You mad inaccurate statements all in an effort to say how impressive Stony Brooks record was when in fact it is not.
Below are the actual results for Stony Brook since 2015 Vs teams that "finished the season" ranked in the Final Top 10.
2018: 2 -1 2018 - Beat # 8 Northwestern 2018 - Beat # 9 Towson 2018 - Lost # 2 Boston College
2019: 0 - 3 2019 - Lost # 8 Denver 2019 - Lost # 6 Princeton 2019 - Lost # 1 Maryland
2020 - 1 - 1 2020 - Beat # 4 Syracuse (not full season) 2020 - Lost # 8 Florida (not full season)
2021: 0 -2 2021 - Lost current # 2 Syracuse 2021 - Lost current # 1 North Carolina
Overall from 2015 to 2021... Stony Brook is 6 wins and 13 losses Vs Top 10 opponents and not "all" of the losses were to teams that finished in the Top 5. Not as impressive as some would have us all believe.
