| Who will play on Memorial Day? We think a match-up you've already seen once or twice. |
Last Sunday night was the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse selection show. It's probably not as exciting or well viewed as the basketball selection show each March to usher in March Madness, but as lacrosse continues to grow as a sport, this selection show and this tournament is getting more attention. The lacrosse tournament consists of 16 teams, with the top eight being seeded 1-8 and hosting first-round games on campus against one of the unseeded teams. Therefore, you don't see a 1-16, 2-15, etc., as geography typically plays into the match-ups. Syracuse earned the #1 seed, and will host the Bryant Bulldogs in the Carrier Dome on Sunday at 7:30pm. The winner then moves onto the quarterfinals in College Park, Maryland on May 18. The other quarterfinal site is Indianapolis, Indiana. The Final Four and Championship, over the Saturday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend, will be hosted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at Lincoln Financial Field.
As we are wont to do here at Orange::44, Brian and I have filled out our brackets with winners of each game, up through choosing an eventual National Champion. They look pretty similar, and have a bit of homerism, but we both think they're pretty solid brackets.
Here is Brian's bracket:
And here's my bracket:
Feel free to harass us on twitter or in the comments section here if you disagree.
I'll be attending the Syracuse/Bryant game in the Dome on Sunday night, so look for a recap here on Monday. And if things fall the Orange's way in the first two games, Brian and I will be in Philadelphia for the Championships, so keep it here for continued coverage of the Orange Road to the Final Four, and keep checking out CollegeCrosse.com for your latest updates on the entire tournament.
