There is a general consensus that the NCAA selection committee hosed Penn State and gave Princeton/Denver a gift. With all the upsets and splits of wins for teams that played twice, it was a very odd and difficult year to measure teams accurately. I think it was close. While I think Penn State [...]

By Michael Spinner Enough with the shot-clock talk If there is a theme for the 2011 Division I Men’s Championship Tournament, it would be, “The year of the stall warning.” During decades in the sport of lacrosse, I don’t think I have ever heard so much talk regarding the pace of the games as we heard during [...]
