Marquette Lacrosse

UNC also lost to UMass and Hofstra (in Chapel Hill). They are definitely beatable.

Agree.  I'm still mind blown at that Duke score.  I watched some of the game and it was like we went into the fetal position.  Very strange.  This team has stood up against the biggest of the bigs, but that game was bizarre.

How much would each Scooper have to contribute to get MU's #21 a haircut?

That's Sampson's strength...leave it alone!!   

[Herman Cain]

I've been at soccer matches with full stands and side areas....I'd guess it's about 3k. 

When is Crean mailing that check?

I think the Lacrosse field they set up has a smaller capacity. Hopefully they move it to the soccer field.

Keep in mind, students will be gone by Saturday so cannot count on a big student turnout.  Will be families and people from local community.  Not sure how many area HS's field Lacrosse teams, but would be a good idea to give tickets away if need be to some of these local programs.

Good stuff.  Also Tierney was great to MU as well

I hear McNamara only scores easy goals.

They moved it to the soccer field.  The place is going to be loud and snakepit atmosphere. Hopefully we will have a few trains coming by in the background to set the tone.

First day of Senior Week. I think loud and rowdy might happen.

Just got an email from Amy in the athletic department - the information I was given yesterday was wrong.  Tickets actually go on sale on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Well, if you believe in bulletin board material stuff (some do, some don't), we are definitely providing a few items for UNC.

The punch 'em in the mouth comment?

Will NC even be aware of that?  Will it overcome Marquette getting dissed by ESPN analyst Quint Kessenich?  (I know the NC players heard that comment).  If I was the NC coach I'd be more worried about overconfidence.

Paul Rabil on Sirius XM was as shocked about MU getting an #6 seed. I think everyone was. Since, they were a bubble team entering the BET.

Paul Rabil is also a giant tool. Lacrosse is a very east coast bias sport. (with the exception of Denver) If something doesn't go according to plan then it must be wrong.

How much does it suck for Albany that they have to play in the Carrier Dome? Is that where Syracuse plays all their home games? Seems like a decided advantage for the Orange, just from the standpoint of playing conditions.

[Jables1604]

To be completely honest we probably are seeded a bit high. In the latest poll we jumped from 18 to 8. Even that might be a bit generous.

That being said, we are peaking at the right time. With the exception of the Duke game (which, in my opinion was an absolute anomaly) we have played every single team close.

As for the comments from the Marquette locker room, this team absolutely has a chip on their shoulder. They need to. No one is giving them a chance. They have been close in every single game and played some excellent, excellent teams.

I'd be disappointed, frankly, if our players didn't show some fire in their bellies. Hopefully that translates into the field Saturday.

Army won an ncaa game couple of years ago at Syracuse. If I'm Albany, I'm juiced for this game!

I agree with this analysis.

Carrier Dome holds a metric ton of people, so all the Albany fans that want to go to the game will be able to get in, though.

[Carl Spackler]

according to twitter - tickets sold out in 20 min.  should be a fun atmosphere. 

success = fan response.   i think that is pretty obvious, but this is another example.  If anyone wonders why mubb fan attendance is down, start here. 

[BrewCity83]

Move the game to Miller Park!!!

[Dawson Rental]

Does anyone know if the second round goes to a neutral site or will MU be traveling to some other team's home it they make the next round?

Hopefully, not too many of the tickets went to NC.

Move the game to Miller Park!!!

From a rowdy environment to a graveyard.
