Marquette Lacrosse

[#UnleashSean]

As of Monday (aka before losing to Duke), the NCAA's selection committee had Marquette as the #9 team in the field, one spot outside getting a national seed and hosting a first round game.

That's way better than I expected to see before that game, and might allow a little leeway.

Beating Denver either on Saturday or in the Big East title game (MU/DU will be #1/#2 in some fashion) is probably the safest way to guarantee it, though.

So what is a national seed?

If we can regroup and play well against Denver and then beat Villanova to get in the final anything can happen.  Have to put this loss behind us.

So what is a national seed?

Top 8 teams in the tournament are seeded #1 through #8, regardless of where they're located, thus national.  Teams #1 & #2 get the winners of one of the play-in games, and the remaining teams in the field are assigned a seeded team to play in the first round based on the least amount of travel for everyone involved.

I have a client in Denver that played college lacrosse and he is attending tomorrow's game.  He said snow in forecast.

What year? D1 Minnesota's head went there and played bball with Sinbad. Lots of MU targets.

Funny enough, national seeds are in most ncaa sports. Lacrosse, baseball, hockey, softball.

He lives in Denver, didn't play at UD.  He played on east coast collegiately.   Another client played at Georgetown, I would guess he is in his early 50's.

How did the University of Dayton get into this conversation? 

FWIW, the University of Denver goes by the moniker of DU, much like many other schools west of the Mississippi that invert their initials (KU, CU, etc.).

My apologies.  Well aware of KU, as I'm an alum.  Didn't realize Denver did the same.

I have no idea what I'm watching, but it looks like they are getting worked.

After some hockey like passing, some guy with a terrible first name and last name Clarke scores. Denver leads 5-4.

Camera getting worse.

Camera got wiped and BOOM. MU ties it 5-5

Kid woke up from nap, not sure what happened, but 6-6 going into the half. Camera in bad shape again.

[Jay Bee]

6-6 at half!

Just flipped it on... announcers talking on MU's new future facilities...

Announcer #1: That's what it's all about! The facilities. Kids don't care what the uniform looks like. They want facilities.

Announcer #2: Yeah, it's become more and more important!

Announcer #1: Yes! Those things are so important! It all starts with Oregon and their uniforms.. 

Uhh.. wait.. they do or don't care what uniforms look like?

[Mr. Nielsen]

Ben Holden is a pretty solid announcer for CBSSN.

[ChicosBailBonds]

6-6 at halftime. 

[🏀]

7-6 Denver

These faceoffs are really strange to watch.
