Syracuse Lacrosse: The ‘Cuse land in the eighth seed

I thought ESPN was going to draw this out but thankfully we got the bracket in the first few minutes. The Syracuse Orange picked up the eighth seed on Sunday night in what can certainly be described as a reach for this season.

I think most folks would have given that last seed to Cornell and then had SU travel to Ithaca. When asked about it, John Hardt, the Chairman of the selection committee mentioned that the reason Cornell is headed to Syracuse is because: SU had a better record against common opponents, Syracuse had a higher quality of opponent, and Cornell had some bad losses.
