#2 UNC at #1 Notre Dame

[UNC71-00]

In lacrosse tomorrow. 4pm on ESPNU. Winner is undefeated regular season ACC champ and a 1 seed playing Duke in the ACC tourney next weekend. Loser is the 2 seed and plays Syracuse. Carolina has already beaten a #1 ranked team (Denver) and a #2 ranked team (Syracuse) this year, but both were in Chapel Hill.


From the attached link:

TAR HEELS HOPING TO CONTINUE WINNING WAYS: [/B] North Carolina enters the Notre Dame game with a 12-1 record. That's the best Tar Heel record through 13 games since the 1993 when the Tar Heels were also 12-1. That UNC team was 14-1 before losing to Syracuse 13-12 in the NCAA championship game. Carolina has started the ACC season with a 3-0 mark. The last time the Tar Heels won their opening three game of the conference season was 1992 and the last time it stood 4-0 in the ACC was 1982.

Definitely will tune in or DVR it. Started watching Lacrosse a couple of years ago at my daughters school and was hooked immediately. Thanks for this info.

For those who don't know - Last week, senior Joey Sankey became our all time leader in points. In lacrosse, 'points' is the combination of goals scored and assists.

And his counterpart on attack, senior Jimmy Bitter, has a chance to be all time leader in goals scored.

Its a really fun team to watch playing a really fun game to watch. Hopefully some of the basketball onlies can give it shot.

I know- it amazes me that BC, Pitt and Wake don't have teams.

Title IX meant that every college in the country cancelled men's sports to start women's teams. A large number of sdchools driopped men's lacrosse in the '80s and early 90s. MooU did, for example.

So ACC lacrose got down to its 4 Powers: UMD, UVA, Dook, and UNC. Adding ND and Cuse got us to 6, the minimum to get an auto bid to the playoffs. The the Twerps left.

Lacrosee is not a major HS sport in western PA. Wake lacks the money sponsor men's lacrosse and another chick sport absolutely nobody cares about.

BC is a different matter. BC is a rich atghletics department from donations. And HS lacrosse is huge from New England down to DC, where BC recruits the vast majority of its students.

I have no idea if BC plans to ad lacrosse eventually. I think it should, but that would mean adding a new chick sport.

There has been internet talk that Tom Jurish wants Louisville to move from non-schoalrship club lacrosse to the ACC. That would be a huge leap, but Marquette has done it and it now competive in like year 3 on the Big East.

When UNC played Denver earlier this year, my wife at point after Bitter scored said, "Hasn't he been at UNC like 7 years?"

I explained to he that she was remembering his brother Billy Bitter, who also was a UNC lacrosse All-American.

I really hope this Bitter brother gets a National title.
