Punks Playoff Picks
05/09/2008 By LaxpunkPunk loves the playoffs! Time to separate the punks from the nerds. Predicting the outcomes for the '08 playoffs will be harder than ever this season with all the 'parity' out there this year. Punk even has the scoop on who's going to take the women's championships too.
D1 Mens: - I guess my prior picks were wrong seeing that Georgetown didn't even get into the tourney. How'd I not see that coming?
First Round:
Duke over Loyola
Ohio State over Cornell
Johns Hopkins over Hofstra
North Carolina over Navy
Syracuse over Canisius
Notre Dame over Colgate
Maryland over Denver
Virginia over UMBC
Quarterfinals:
Duke over Ohio State
Johns Hopkins over North Carolina
Syracuse over Notre Dame
Virginia over Maryland
Semis:
Duke over Johns Hopkins
Syracuse over Virginia
Finals:
Duke vs Syracuse - Winner TBA!
Cuse has had a great season, but so has Duke. This game will be high scoring.
D2 Mens:
First Round (May 17th):
Lemoyne over Bryant
Limestone over NYIT
Finals:
Lemoyne vs Limestone - Winner TBA!
D3 Mens:
First Round: It already happend on Wednesday but Punk would've picked all the winners. OWU, Bowdoin, Springfield, WNEC

Ithaca over Williams
Saint Lawrence over WNEC
Salisbury over OWU
Haverford over Cabrini
Washington over Lynchburg
Gettysburg over Denison

Ithaca over Saint Lawrence
Salisbury over Haverford
Gettysburg over Washington
Semis:
Cortland over Ithaca
Salisbury over Gettysburg <--Punk flipped this from his 4/30 picks
Finals:
Cortland vs Salisbury - Winner TBA!
Yes for the third straight year these two powerhouse state universities will face off in the D3 finals. Punk expects to see lots of tight shirts and gold chains on one side and shaggy hair and madaras shorts on the other. A standard NY vs MD battle.
Now time for the ladies. Gotta love the ladies! I think their sticks are better than guys after watching some top teams play this season.
D1 Womens:
First Round:
Northwestern over Notre Dame
Vanderbilt over Princeton
Towson over Syracuse

0 commentsPunk: Almost Playoff Time!
04/30/2008 By LaxpunkSo there is a big weekend coming up to decide the seedings in all divsions. I can't give any brackets, because that would take too much thought tonight. But if the Final Four weekend was upon us, here are Punk's picks. On Sunday, May 4th, we'll have a better picture of what to expect.
Most of D1 is pretty much set. Will there be a Delaware this year, who knows. Duke had a handle on UVA in the ACC finals until the 4th quarter, but with that potent offense, they should cruise into the Final Four. In D2 will most likely be the norm. D3 however, watch out for Cortland. They are putting up numbers and I don't think that anyone in D3 can stop Ryan Heath. Gburg may just put a stop to Salisbury's streak of finals appearences.
D1:
Duke
UVA
Syracuse
Georgetown
Champion: Duke
D2:
Lemoyne
Limestone
Champion: Lemoyne
D3:
Gettysburg
Cortland
Champion: Cortland
Punk Poll Update 4/1
04/01/2008 By LaxpunkWow, some shake ups in the polls over the past few weeks. Punk is surprised by Cuse and MD thus far. After the dismantling of UVA by MD, just think how good this MD team could be in a year or so after these freshmen get some big game experience. (Like UVA, Duke, etc don't count).
Two teams that have Punk perplexed are Towson and UMass. I can understand UMass having some trouble due to the brawlers, etc, but what's up with Towson?
Punk posted a poll prior to the season and now its time to re-evaluate. Punk was right with JHU not being #1 his original poll. It's tough to pick those 10-20 because they beat on each other all season. The top 10 is the place to be. So here is Punks Top 10 with 11-20 in no particular order and two surprise votes because Punk likes to cause trouble.
1. Duke
2. Syracuse
3. UVA
4. UNC
5. Maryland
6. Cornell
7. Georgetown
8. Navy
9. Norte Dame
10. UMBC
Johns Hopkins, Hofstra, Princeton, Drexel, Loyola, Stonybrook, Harvard, Delaware, Salisbury, Lemoyne
