Every year we fill out NCAA brackets based on the teams in the games. That’s boring, right? It’s much more fun to do it based on the OTHER sports at the school. So, why not lacrosse? Here we go. Midwest- 64 Bracket Kentucky vs Hampton/Manhattan Manhattan has to take this one since they are a Division One team, albeit the worst Division One team. Also, Kentucky is 0-3 in the…
