News & Notes From Around PioNation

SB Nation has a profile on DU star lacrosse player Mark Matthews.  There is also a YouTube video of his spectacular goal against Villanova.

SB Nation also has a comprehensive breakdown of the Johns Hophins vs. DU quarterfinal match-up on Saturday.  Like most pundits, the author doesn't give DU much of a chance against Hopkins.

Actually ,it's a pretty fair article. Many positive statements about the pios and he gives us an outside chance of winning.

I love DU as much as anyone, but there is a reason Hopkins is ranked #3 and DU is ranked #6. Hopkins has been to 40+ NCAA tourneys in a row and won 9 or 10 of them.

Beating Hopkins would be a huge upset for the Pios. Using a colleg Hockey analogy, I would say DU is the equivalent of St. Cloud and Hopkins is the equivalent of Michigan.

I am hoping DU keeps the score respectable. A DU win would be way beyond expeections....

I agree that its a fair article. A better hockey analogy would be DU(lax) is RIT (Hockey) and Hopkins(lax) is DU (Hockey). We all know what happened when we played RIT 2 years ago in the hockey NCAAs - it "shouldn't" have happened, but did. So, always some hope this weekend against Hopkins, mostly likely we lose, but, thats why they play the game!
