This Is May: Conference Tournament Season Is Here In College Lacrosse
Icon Sportswire. Getty Images.There may not be a greater time to be alive every year than the first full weekend in May. You've got NHL and NBA Playoffs going on. You have the Kentucky Derby. This year you have Dave and Big Cat calling the entire card for the Canelo vs Bivol fight (buy here at DAZN.com/barstool). And on top of everything, we have the conference tournaments in college lacrosse.
Sure, there have been a few conference tournament games already with the Big Ten getting things going last weekend and the Patriot League starting their tournaments earlier in the week. But we have a full slate of conference semifinal games today, a great lineup of games for Friday night, and then conference championships on Saturday and Sunday. It shouldn't get any better than this. But luckily for all of you, it does. Because we brought former Brown All-American LSM Larken Kemp back onto the podcast this week to preview everything about the Ivy League tournament as well as give our picks and predictions for the rest of the conference tournaments this week/weekend. It all gets going at 1pm this afternoon so toss on the latest episode and get yourself ready for the final weekend before it all comes down to the final 16 teams standing.
