These green buckets go hard

@slcplays I don’t think so, but the odds api might have it. I have most of the games from this season

@reportsbybuster @HuttonJackson @Lax_Action Thanks for the support! Looking to add a community aspect for next season 🫡

[Cradl @CradlLax]

@mikejohnson_2 @College_Crosse Agreed

[Cradl @CradlLax]

@College_Crosse I thought even if a player accidentally touches it (i.e. a deflection or accidentally hits their foot) it’s still considered a shot and goes to whoever’s closest.

[Michael @mikejohnson_2]

@College_Crosse These refs are 0/2 on end lines calls

Brutal.

[Cradl @CradlLax]

@mikejohnson_2 @College_Crosse My exact thought too, brutal beat for Cornell

[Fishmonger @fishm_nger]

Not only did the NCAA leak the bracket, they’re also leaking the results. Hell of an effort from the Danes today @College_Crosse

@3bchboys I don't know if its an official rule, but according to this article from usa lacrosse, it looks like it to me.

Initial reaction: tough first-round draw for Richmond.

By RPI (.6193) and committee score (.6311), Duke is a clean #10. So I had Duke on Cornell at the 7-seed, Georgetown at Richmond.

Duke (ACC) can't face UNC, UVA, Cuse, or ND. The only non-ACC top-8 host at the 10 line was Cornell — and Duke → Cornell is 465 mi (~600 mi driving), over the 400-mile travel preference.

Dropping Duke to #13 puts them at Richmond (134 mi). JHU drops to 10 vs Cornell — 216 mi great-circle / ~315 mi driving. Both rules satisfied. Net 170 miles saved bracket-wide.

Here's how the first round shakes out if all teams were seeded:
- 1 Princeton vs play-in winner (Marist/Stony Brook)
- 8 Penn State vs 9 Army
- 5 Virginia vs 12 Georgetown
- 4 Richmond vs 13 Duke
- 3 North Carolina vs 14 UAlbany
- 6 Syracuse vs 11 Yale
- 7 Cornell vs 10 Johns Hopkins
- 2 Notre Dame vs play-in winner (Robert Morris/Jacksonville)

The committee put significantly more weight on AQ tournament championships and travel distance than my model did. PSU, Army, and Georgetown (all AQ champs) each moved up; JHU and Duke absorbed the cost.

Here's what the bubble looks like

Here's my projected bracket heading into selection sunday lets see how wrong I am!
https://t.co/I5NbS3Z24K

Here's the bracket based on a committee score of
Sched: +/- bonus when schedule is stronger/weaker than the field median
Big Wins: +0.005 / +0.003 / +0.0015 / +0.0008 per win vs RPI top-5 / top-10 / top-15 / top-20
Bad Losses: -0.003 per loss to a team ranked 21+ (capped at 6)

[Cradl @CradlLax]

Both brackets try to follow the following rules:
- Avoid conference conflicts in first round
- 400 mile travel preference
- Avoid prior year rematch in first round
