With college basketball winding down, I think we should start with college lacrosse.

I hope you guys got to see the Maryland-UVA game this weekend on ESPN2. It was a lot of fun to watch undefeated and top ranked UVA succumb to Maryland. With that win, Maryland finishes its ACC play and is 2-1.

North Carolina also beat a struggling Hopkins team that started the season top-ranked (and lost consecutive games to Hofstra, Syracuse, and UVA), and Georgetown beat Navy in overtime.

I wonder if Syracuse or Duke will take the top spot this week. They were tied for second place. I'm leaning towards Cuse, partially because of my bias, and partially because Cuse's one loss was in overtime to UVA in a game that could've gone either way and Duke struggled in their more recent loss to Georgetown.

Princeton, who was struggling for a few weeks, beat Yale, but that doesn't mean anything since Yale was never good. Delaware also had a bad loss to Brown.

Some games to look forward to next week include Syracuse-Princeton, Maryland-Navy, Delaware-Towson, Hopkins-Duke, and UVA-UNC.

Also, ShyGuy might like to know that TUOS is actually ranked this year. A part of me wants to see the Buckeyes actually make a run, only because it'll raise awareness of the sport beyond Appalachia. (and hey, what else are Buckeye fans gonna do in the Spring?) -CSM

Except nobody cares. Especially since there's MLB, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, the Final Four still, and other irrelevant sports like the Women's Final Four, the NIT, and College Baseball.

Uhh Spring Game perhaps? And NIT Championship game it's looking like.

I REALLY don't see what the big deal with spring football is. It doesn't count for jack.

You guys really need to give lacrosse a chance. -CSM

Because it's freekin football...and it's your first glance at the upcoming fall's team, and the first time you get to see the newrecruits in action...what's not to get.

Ohio State is about to set the attendance record for a college lacrosse game 4/19 against Denver. It's preceding the Spring Football game and Coach Tressel is endorsing the lacrosse team like crazy, encouraging people to come watch. The game drew like 73,000 last year, and the lacrosse record is about 52,000. Piece of cake.

^Wow. UOS has higher lax attendance than Cuse.

You know, ShyGuy, if I weren't going to Spain, and OSU were in the tournament (still might happen), I'd invite you to Foxboro if they make it that far). -CSM
