NCAA Bracketology V1: There’s Still Time

April 12, 2016

Is it too early to start predicting brackets? Some may say yes, others the opposite. Joe Lunardi already has a way too early 2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracketology, and we just got done the hoops tournament last week! Teams don’t know if they’ll lose someone to either the NBA Draft or to transfers or even who they might gain via transfers and commitments. But in lacrosse, we have less than…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: T-Minus 29 Days Until Selection Sunday

April 8, 2016

We’re starting the final stretch of the season with under a month until Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament. Unlike last year, it’s a very wide open field, with only two ACC teams in the top 15 in RPI. Some early Bracketology projections have Notre Dame and Syracuse in, with some even including Virginia. Except for Notre Dame, the ACC is on the bubble for some spots, with UNC and…

For some teams, it’s a chance to get that top seed in their respective conference tournaments en route to a possible automatic bid. For other teams, the road to the postseason begins now. One loss might be the…

Denver Runs Away with Win Over Ohio State, Winning Streak at 20

March 21, 2016

Up until a fourth quarter offensive run by the Pioneers, the match up with Ohio State was a defensive battle the entire way. Jake Withers of Ohio State gave Trevor Baptiste a hard time at the faceoff for the first bit of the game, pulling out scrappy F/O wins that led to the Buckeyes leading the game 2-1 at the end of the first quarter. In a very back and…

Pioneers Look to Stay Strong Against Ohio State

March 18, 2016

We’re in the midst of an exciting two week lacrosse period for Denver men’s lacrosse as they play back to back games against 2015 postseason opponents. Zach Miller sealed the deal for DU last week against Notre Dame in Indiana with a 9-8 overtime victory. This weekend, the Pioneers host the Ohio State Buckeyes, who briefly looked to be the team to send Denver home early in the 2015 Quarterfinals…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: Show Me What You Got

March 11, 2016

It’s time for some teams to prove one of two things. Either they’re contenders when May comes around, or they still need some work to do. It’s been about a month since the season got underway, and we’ve seen Towson, Hofstra, and even Rutgers rise into the Top 20, while Duke, Virginia, and Georgetown have been disappointments thus far. But is this the biggest weekend of the season? Sure there’s been…

Notre Dame, Denver Battle in Match Up of Top Teams

March 10, 2016

If there were ever a game as weighted as Denver and Notre Dame this weekend, it was last year’s semifinal match up between these two power houses. Notre Dame lost to Duke in the 2014 Championship, and again to the Pioneers in a semifinal thriller that included a late comeback down to the wire, taking the game to sudden death overtime where Denver stole the show. The Irish are hungry…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: This Is Madness!

February 20, 2016

Madness? THIS. IS. FEBRUARY LACROSSE! If you don’t know what movie that sort of is from, it’s from 300 (and you should probably watch at least that scene right now). We have a great slate of Division I games this weekend, including six of the top ten teams in the nation taking on another ranked team. Many of these games are on Saturday, so set aside your Saturday. SATURDAY #1…

Denver and Duke Battle in Early Season Premier Game

February 19, 2016

This time last year, Duke pulled out over Denver early in their Cobb County Classic 2015 matchup. It wasn’t until DU’s second half surge of outscoring the Blue Devils 12-5 the the Pios finished the game with a ‘W’ 17-13. It’s the same game all over again, with new stakes at the table. Saturday’s game is host to a battle at face-off X between two of the best specialists in…

Pioneers and Falcons Renew Colorado Rivalry This Weekend

February 9, 2016

We’ve reached one of the best transitional times of the sports year: football to lacrosse. The Super Bowl is over and Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA) just opened the NCAA lacrosse season with a highlighted behind-the-back goal on NJIT. The DU Pioneers play their match up of 2016 this Saturday against Air Force. Being the only two NCAA Division-I programs in Colorado, the game almost carries a subtle weight to it….
