This year’s edition of the Spectacular features 11 participants, which, incidentally, is only two greater than Syracuse’s total lacrosse national championships and 11 more than Georgetown will ever capture.
After Saturday’s slate of games (of which Georgetown participated in none), there is a four-way traffic jam atop the leader board. Congratulations everyone; may your reign slowly cede to my coup and ensuing military junta.
Check out the leader board. Full brackets will be posted tonight after Syracuse’s decimation of Canisius.
There are some interesting trends emerging in the first round. Specifically:
- Only three brackets tabbed Notre Dame to hold its seed against Colgate. The Red Raiders’ late-season victory over Syracuse clearly swayed a lot of participants.
- Only one bracket hated Johns Hopkins enough to pick Hofstra to topple the Jays.
- Every entry predicted a Duke-Cornell quarterfinal matchup in Ithaca. The only participant that will be significantly impacted by the Big Red’s loss was John Sorriento, who had Cornell advancing to the National Championship game.
- Had Denver continued its first half effort against Maryland and actually beat the Terrapins, only DarylGrossIsSuperman would have correctly predicted the outcome.
- Winner of “Best Bracket Name” goes to Dave Pearson for “Gallon of PCP.” If you don’t get the reference, YouTube it; your life will change forever.
