Duke Ends Syracuse, Maryland & Michigan Advance in B1G Tourney & More (LaxFactor Podcast

[@Rainman...]

The injury bug bit Maryland again Ajax Zappatello #36 was out😢 If Maryland can get healthy which is damn near impossible they could make a legitimate run at back-to-back national champs!

[@LaxFactor]

They can, but they lack depth in scoring. I could see them hit up the final 4 again, but assuming the other favorites also make it, getting by Duke, ND and UVA will be tough come tournament time. But I agree, while a longer shot for them than normal, the possibility certainly exists.

[@Rainman...]

@@LaxFactor I agree with most of that I do have an issue with depth of scoring. I feel it's the opposite they don't have that one guy that can almost score at will that they have had for the past 8 years or so... Wisnauskas, Bernhardt and Rambo

[@LaxFactor]

@@Rainman... That's what I really mean. Let me rephrase to mean "volume", or "quality depth in scoring" instead. They have the role players, they just don't have the #PlayerPimp although Erksa can probably be that next year. Kid has that dog in him haha. AND HOPEFULLY ZAPP IS OK. Will be curious to see if he suits up this week. Hope to hell he does, but considering their at large resume is already rock solid, maybe they don't risk it and save him for the tournament. I don't think they make it to the final 4 without him. He's way too valuable.

[@Rainman...]

@@LaxFactor so true hot take I think he's played better than Makar but Makar is hands down the captain of the team

Thanks Ted, I love your show! You are in the know! I use to be a Geneseo blo(ke)! LOL! A Middy in '77! We beat Cuse@ Geneseo! Ted, for real! I live in Manhattan now and their LAX is okay! Right? What playoffs are being held at Columbia? Poor Hobart! I was born and raised in Geneva! Give me some Lemoyne and Cortland and Geneseo and St. John Fisher and RIT news! Hey Ted, I'm shit faced now! Holy cow!

[@LaxFactor]

Haha, nice. Yeah, I've played at Geneseo before, in 96 for Keuka. Can't remember if we won or lost. Next week I'll hit up the D2 and D3 stuff as there will be far fewer games to cover. Enjoy the buzz haha.

[@DaveGoldShow]

@@LaxFactor Thanks Ted, you do a good service to wayward ex LAXers! Ha Ha!

[@jacobzura]

you say the show is on mondays now, and then you crank out an episode on sunday !!

[@LaxFactor]

Had to, had a work thing today and there was I my the o e game Sunday. Figured it would be there Monday for everyone haha.

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Cornell was a good game, a real good game as Princeton kept coming back. I thought we were moving this to Monday?

[@LaxFactor]

I was, but considering there was only the one game today, AND I have a launch for work in the AM, figured I'd pop it out today haha. Yeah, that Cornell game was solid. I didn't watch it live, but looks like the Denver game was pretty crazy as well.

[@DaveVoyles]

I was really surprised to see Princeton run with Cornell. Sam, English on Princeton is the guy I have been looking at all year after a great playoff performance last season.

[@michaeltillotson7044]

Dude next Duke game vs Merrimack is the biggest game of the year. First one we'll be at, sheesh!!! 'Cuse was hanging tight. Get those young'ins seasoned, maybe some portal talent, and some primed ready to play freshman. The 🍊 are gonna be some bad men very soon!!

[@LaxFactor]

Haha, enjoy the blood in the streets at rhat one.

[@IvanGarcia-ri7bt]

Binghamton club lax won their conference championship and will go to the national championship

[@gsipp00]

Well been quite a year in D3 with five teams Tufts (Only unbeaten), Salisbury, Middlebury, RIT and NewPort all with only one loss on the season. Tufts and Middlebury one game left the others a Conference Tournament time.

[@alexandershepherd1861]

caden kol is not a acc level defender. If you watch cuse games which i watch everyone cause cuse fan. Kol just left his dude wide open why to much. Dyson was who he was covering and time and time again he loses him. The man up goal by dyson kol goes to middle of crease where no one is leaving dyson wide open for goal. Uva game kol n clary(first game back) were just awful offball. Also defense is not aggressive enough or throw enough checks to cause turnovers specially when not winning faceoffs.

[@LaxFactor]

Yeah, they were greatly undermanned on defense. However, Williams has a way of making defenders go dumb haha.
