Lax Championship Syracuse vs. Cornell

Syracuse -190 is as close to free money as you will find. Pretty shocked this line is this low. Was expecting -300

Syracuse won the meeting during the season 15-10. Cornell's strength is on offense, but that is also where Syracuse has the best close defender in the country with Sid Smith, and the best goalie with the experienced John Galloway. In fact the whole Syracuse team in more experienced on the big stage in comparison to the Big Red. It's a memorial day tradition for all of Central NY to take the hike to Boston, and before that Baltimore, MD. Syracuse has the advantage at face off, an area Jake Moulton absolutely dominated Duke in. Syracuse is deeper at midfield, and has just as good of an offense. If there was an over/under, I would play the over too, but they know not to post totals. I'll be happy with laying the -190 to the bank

Syracuse -190 big

Just watched the game on TiVO. Unbelievable ending.....Syracuse ties it up with 0:04 to play and wins in OT.

Cornell has only themselves to blame. That bullshit stall that they used through the entire game ended up costing them. I really enjoy watching lacrosse but they have several rules that need to be changed. What happened to Cornell today is what happens all the time in sports. They played not to lose and that's why they ended up losing that game.

I am a Syracuse fan, but Cornell played well enough to win, slow down or not. They lost because the pole (not the best handler on the field) paniced and tried to dodge a few Syracuse players. Had he just heaved the ball down the field toward the Syracuse goal, Cornell would have won.

I don't like teams that slow the game down either, but I don't think a rules change is the answer, especially a shot clock. Officials should just put the stall warning on faster if the offensive team is not advancing the ball.
