Stony Brook's schedule is such a joke. Im sick of hearing " They are in a bad league" Loyola is a weak conference too and JA goes out of her way to schedule tough games. Why are they number one if they havent beat a top 10 team? Whoever wins the ACC and Big 10 should be seeded higher than SB, not matter the record. Penn state and Towson are SB's toughest games and PSU is barely ranked. The thing is they are definitely skilled enough to play those teams. SBU beat USC, Stanford, NU, Towson and Denver. All top 25 teams. They have Penn State, Hopkins and Cornell left. Again, all top 25 teams. Their conference is weak, they can't help it. They have tried to keep Florida and ND on they schedule, those two schools backed out. SBU has a competitive and challenging schedule. Some of their non-conference scheduled teams are having down years. Can't help it. Schedule was made last year. They are #1 and should hold the spot until they lose. Seeding for tournament ? We will see. They backed out of Florida*** Florida and ND took SBU off their schedule. When SBU made their schedule, their non-conference schedule consisted of top teams (except Michigan and Delaware). NU, USC and PSU were top 10 teams. Stanford had a down year last year but are a perennial top 20 team, same with Hopkins. Cornell usually battling Princeton for tops in the Ivies... Look at SBU RPI, they challenged themselves this year.. Stop. Their schedule has improved but it is nowhere near that of most of the top programs. Stanford is not a perennial top 20 (they are a good program) Cornell does not battle Princeton for tops in the Ivy, that distinction would go to Penn. Traditionaly Cornell one of the weaker ivy's. Hopkins is a solid top 20 program. Towson is a strong program that is having a great year. Stony Brook is doing well and their schedule has improved the past couple of years but still does not compare to the other top programs. Yes, right now, based on their body of work over the past four seasons I consider Stony Brook one of the top 10 - 15 programs in the country. I realize you can't get everyone but would like to see at least one or two of the following: Maryland, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Syracuse, Bodton College, Duke, Notre Dame, Penn, Princeton. Loyola even Georgetown. You get better playing good teams. You learn from losing.. A tougher schedule would help The Seawolves prepare for the postseason even if they lost one or two regular season games. Stop the spin and the hype. It has not helped in the past and it will not help now . History tells us they are not prepared come tournament time. Stanford not a perennial top 20 program? Check the rankings last 5 years (last year was their worst year in awhile). Also just beat everyone in LI's darling USC who everyone has picked the last few years in top 5 to start the season.Johns Hopkins has not been a solid top 20 program (maybe this year may be an exception, great coach though). Agree Penn and Princeton have been the top dogs in the IVY league, but Cornell has been much stronger last few years and Dartmouth is leading the pack this year so far. no Penn is leading the pack. what is wrong with you?

Some thoughts on Stony Brook and their schedule.
No one doubts that they are a very good team and you can debate whether their schedule helps or hurts them. Their conference play is not challenging because they play in a weak conference. That is not their fault. You play who you have to play. They can't change conferences due to other obligations to sports within the university. It is what it is.
Scheduling non-conference games is not easy. You don't pick up the phone and say "What are you doing on the first Saturday in March" to another coach. Believe it or not there is a cost measure (transportation, hotels, food, staff) that must be paid by the university and lacrosse spread sheets are pretty thin. Sometimes you get a non-conference commitment 2-3 years ahead of the game so you don't know how strong the team is you will be eventually playing.
Based on their high pre-season ranking and schedule it does not surprise me that Stony Brook is #1 and has a very good chance of maintaining that position for the rest of the season. The other teams ranked play each other and will incur losses. You play who you play. If you follow D1 mens basketball Gonzaga gets that rap sometimes. Just don't be surprised if Stony Brook gets a 4 seed when the tournament starts. Undefeated BC w a thumping over UNC should be ranked above SB for now. As should a one-loss in OT at UNC Maryland team. SB should be ranked #3 right now. And I think you would get it ranked that way by the tournament if it started today. keep looking to Northwestern with their exceptionally high seeding with 8 or 9 losses in the past. Everyone knows the cupcake games

Using the so called thumping ( was closer than the score and having watched the whole game UNC missing their goalie hurt) as a ranking hammerhead then you should take into account their OT win over a suspect USC team who beat Oregon and lost to Stanford in OT . SB has not had any games as close as several BC games so if the thumping puts them over SB then the OT win puts them way below.

They very bad against Yale and relinquished a 5 goal lead against ND. Maryland is the true number 1, They have defeated solid teams week after week with ease. The excuse of being in a weak league is not valid Loyola, JMU, Towson, USC,Navy schedule competitive games outside of their weak conferences. Dont complain if they dont get the number one seed and Maryland does. BC I believe will lose this weekend, they never win at UVA.

It was a thorough beating. At one point, UNC didn't have it in their offensive zone for 11 straight minutes. Complete domination. You might need to watch games a little better? Or maybe u not so smart? I'm sure BC will lose some games. They play in the ACC. We will watch SB go undefeated in the regular season and then lose again in the NCAAs. They are either not as good as the hype machine, or a perennially underachieving team. Which is, hammerhead??

Johns Hopkins 4 of the past 6 years. 2 of 6 for USC (they will be there going forward). Dartmouth has a new coach so maybe they will become more relevant and compete with the top programs. Nothing new at Cornell they will continue to be on outside looking in. Stony Brook has finished the year ranked in the Top 20 five times in six years. Is this the year SBU lives up to the hype? Maybe.

Anyone catch the Georgetown MD game yesterday? GU totally outgunned but that’s a great offensive scheme he runs. Unbalanced or overload one side as Sheehan calls it. The actually get girls out in space where the wave of defenders can’t slide in time.

Honest question for all the posters who are arguing about what order the top 5 or 10 teams should be ranked - Why do you care so much? All of them are going to make the tournament and then have to beat whoever they play to win the championship. And the rankings don't even transfer to seedings and matchups like some of the other sports, since the tournament committee seems to use different criteria and many matchups are determined by geography to minimize travel costs.
Nobody cares who comes in second on May 27th, much less who was ranked number 1, 2 or 3 on March 27th.

Because your on a lacrosse discussion website, what would you like the discussion to be about .Stop with the holier than the rest of us attitude ; we all think the refs are terrible ; the other team flops too much, our coaches are not the best, there is too much politics in the awards ; etc .

Now that a lot of games have been played, who are the Champ favorites and one or two that could take it in a surprise? 1. Maryland 2. Stony Brook Really see it coming down to one of these two. Dark Horse (Meaning someone outside current top 5) ... Penn or Northwestern.

It's the same parents that complained where their kid's club team was ranked. Other than that, nobody gives rankings much thought. Outside of proud parents, there is very little fan base. The best teams will make the final 4. Doesn't matter where they are ranked.

For this forum (with the exception of the attack on the goalie) this recent exchange was somewhat civil.

Daddy Apuzzo your embarrassing yourself. Oh, quit it. You have no idea who is saying what. I am a big Apuzzo fan, as is my family, and we are not Apuzzos. Are we only allowed to root for SB here? If you're not championing an Ohlmiller then you're wrong??? BC beat UNC. JMU lost to MD. Lets talk about that. Is a 3-point loss to MD really JMU giving MD "all they can handle"? Debate. Good for BC, they get ripped on this site for any number of reasons. Coach stinks, schedule soft, recruits and players not as good as the top schools, their top player not as good as so and so, cannot win without Kent and the list goes on. It was a great win and at least for the next few days give BC a break, they earned it. Hopefully another week of well earned silence and respect for BC. All of this without Kent.

Only common opponent is USC
BC won in OT
SB won handily 15-10 but was up to 8 late but one of USC top players fouled out at half which factors in.
Not sure why everyone is so worried about this it will all play out

Actually she fouled out halfway through first half. And one game doesn't define a eason. You aren't sure why everyone is so worried about this but felt compelled to comment on it. Weird. BC deserves to be ranked 1 ove SB right now because they have convincing wins over UNC and UVA in addition to solid wins mentioned above. There are two undefeated teams, one of which has two wins over top 10 teams and one that has none. For now, BC deserves to be ranked above SB. Since rankings are done, and this is a lacrosse discusion forum, it kind of makes sense that people might comment on this, no?

Objectively I think BC has the slightly better wins I would not said that before yesterday. But now adding UVA to list and it is hard to argue. Stony Brook has: Cornell, Hartford, Binghamton, Hopkins, New Hampshire, UMBC, Penn State and Albany remaining. Then their conference playoffs. Boston College has: Duke, Dartmouth, Virginia Tech and Syracuse. Then their conference playoffs. Boston College has the tougher road. Stony Brook will likely win out with maybe Penn State or Hopkins being able to pull of an upset. Boston college is likely to lose at least one along the way. Seeding is going to be really important this year. Very good teams are going to be playing each other early and knocking each other off. Battle tested teams with strong goalies and defense will be in the best position. Nobody is going undefeated this year. Teams that lose tough games during the year and learn from the loss (or losses) will be in better position come playoff time. Coaching is also a major factor. If the seeding allows I think the Final Four: Maryland, Boston College, Stony Brook and ??? a team with 4 or more losses.

Only common opponent is USC
BC won in OT
SB won handily 15-10 but was up to 8 late but one of USC top players fouled out at half which factors in.
Not sure why everyone is so worried about this it will all play out
Actually she fouled out halfway through first half. And one game doesn't define a eason. You aren't sure why everyone is so worried about this but felt compelled to comment on it. Weird. BC deserves to be ranked 1 ove SB right now because they have convincing wins over UNC and UVA in addition to solid wins mentioned above. There are two undefeated teams, one of which has two wins over top 10 teams and one that has none. For now, BC deserves to be ranked above SB. Since rankings are done, and this is a lacrosse discusion forum, it kind of makes sense that people might comment on this, no? Yes.

You self absorbed nut cases need to get a life. Remember, opinions are like [ChillLaxin]holes...everyone has one and they all stink!!! This site certainly exceeds the allowable number of [ChillLaxin]holes and their stinky opinions. Self absorbed ? From the person who believes that they have the only opinion that matters. Your post demonstrates that you are the one who is self absorbed thinking you are above or better than the rest of us who frequent this site. Empty net goal with a minute left in the game, lets not complain about KO padding stats, that argument is over

But NC struggling, Florida at least has the excuse of missing a stud during most of the losses.

Northwestern with a decent draw might sneak in there.

Empty net goal with a minute left in the game, lets not complain about KO padding stats, that argument is over She's going to need an awful lot of padding to catch up with SA from BC, she is clearly the best player out there and should be no contest for the Teewaraton.

This one isn't even close. Apuzzo is scoring at a similar clip (6G/ per game vs 7) against better competition, has a higher shooting percentage, has fewer turnovers per game, has 77 draw controls to 0 for Ohlmiller, has more caused turnovers per game and more ground balls per game. It just isn't really all that close.

So I am a SA and BC fan, but you need to keep it in your pants. Do you know that BC has played 13 games, pretty much the most out of all the teams? KO stats are on target better than SA. SB has only 9 games played. That’s 45% less lacrosse. Ya think KO will record any goals or [ChillLaxin] in those four games to make up? Both great players but you sound very uninformed as well as childish.

Both great players but you sound very uninformed as well as childish. Pretty easy to put stats on a per game basis. See above. Apuzzo is better. KO is a great player. Just not the Tewaaraton winner if things continue the way they are. And given the huge disparity in competition going forward, if Apuzzo keeps playing well, she certainly deserves the award ahead of KO.

Empty net goal with a minute left in the game, lets not complain about KO padding stats, that argument is over Sorry but its getting really hard to root for teams comprised with a lot of LI players . Watched the SB game and came away with the feeling that the huge numbers their Tewaaraton award candidate will get means nothing. Score was like 12-1 and she forces a bad shot , misses, next possession then forces her way in gets called for a charge , seems desperate to score points and anyone that watches their games its plain to see contributes little to nothing else other than adding to her point totals. Also got to watch USC or west coast LI team play .Lets just say down by 3-4 goals with under 2 minutes ( at least close to that ) they commit somewhere in the range of 6 fouls and 2 yellow cards, game is over and you are seemingly out to hurt someone, thug ball and classless.
