Ohio State Men's Lacrosse (2013 ECAC Champions)

[Jake]

Duke's just playing the lacrosse version of the Four Corners offense made famous by Dean Smith prior to the shot clock. Their coach has instructed them "no shots" the rest of the way.

They lead 21-9 with 3 minutes left...

And that's how it ends.

Great season for our Buckeyes, reaching the Elite Eight for the first time ever. :cheers:

Today, they ran into a juggernaut. I hope they go all the way now.

AMEN. It was a great year. We got a bit screwed by the East Coast Mafia with that seed. We were a better team than a few of the ranked teams.

Wish it was a better game against Duke but they are clearly head and shoulders above any team playing. In fact, I will say that they are the best team I have ever watched. No shame here.

Congrats to the Buckeyes for a GREAT season, and THANKS SENIORS for the 4/5 years here at OSU!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Hell.

Congrats to the LAX team and coaches for a great season. Today we just came up on a team that was not going to go down to anyone.

Personally I hate all things Duke with the exception of their LAX team. When all hell broke loose a couple of years ago I felt so bad for them. Didn't know if there was any guilt, but I knew that the ENTIRE team was not guilty, and as a result a lot of kids and their fams suffered. Perhaps they were guilty of a couple of poor decisions, but not all that was in the papers. For that alone, if we had to go down... let it be to them and let them win it all. Those kids have been through hell and back. The way thier team stuck it out and stayed together through it all, if they win the tourney, so be it. Karma is on their side at this point.

We'll get ours in time. I just think that it's great that the Bucks are showing strong in LAX.

When I was on campus LAX was nothing more than a joke t-shirt: "Co-ed Naked Lacrosse. Always keep your stick up."

-- and now, thanks to this thread... I know where I can order my tOSU LAX t-shirt. Now if I could just find a cool frick'n ball cap!

Next year guys! We'll get 'em.

Oh, btw... the two little guys in my avitar have been playing since they were less than three years old. The older one has MAD skilz, and the little one hits frick'n hard... and they are both Bucks by birthright!

I was actually at this game yesterday. It was cold and rainy, and there was just a difference in the level of skills for the two squads.

Congrats to the team on a great season.

I agree, but once again they get taken out by lacrosse kings Johns Hopkins in the NCAAs by one goal, 10-9.

The Devils had beaten the Jays 17-6 in the regular season. Go figure...

Duke played like shit. I am not sold on their coach. Coach Pet flat outcoached him.

Duke looke like they had a case of beers before the game. That was horrible to watch. Just horrible.

The Va v Cuse game was way better and Cuse should take out JH.

They should fire the Duke coach for loosing. Seriously.

No doubt.
Hopkins is coming back to Earth in the title game as Syracuse has outplayed them and built a 12-8 lead in the 4th quarter.

Amazing stat: Before today the NCAA has had 36 national lacrosse champions - Syracuse and Johns Hopkins have each won 9 of them.

Cuse working on #10...

Another crazy from the lacrosse world: only once has a team missed the tournament entirely then won it the next year...until this year. Syracuse only won 5 games last year before beating Hopkins in the title game this year.

The only other time? 1983...when Syracuse beat Hopkins in the title game, after missing the tourney in '82.
