I missed Wednesday/Thursday’s show because I’m a pansy and I was sick, but I watched a ton of lacrosse over the last 5 days and I can say that I don’t recall a conference tournament season as odd as this one. The A10 Semifinals saw Saint Joseph’s (the 1-seed) get humbled in a loss. The America East Semifinals saw Vermont (the 1-seed) get bounced. The Big Ten Tournament Semifinals, the top two seeds got bounced. Michigan took down Penn State and Maryland toppled Hopkins. The Ivy League Semifinals, same crap, the top two seeds, Cornell and Penn, both lost.
If you were a team on the bubble, these games played on Thursday and Friday were your worst nightmare. For almost ever bubble team, they needed one of the favorites of the B1G and Ivy tournaments to win in order to have a shot at an at large. What they got instead was the bubble teams they were competing against for that bid won very important games and improved their resumes, bumping tournament favorites to the at large pool.
