The Tailgate, Championship Weekend: Tiger Time

About this episode

Nick Ossello joins Terry Foy and Larken Kemp to discuss Princeton's victory in the NCAA Championship and various lacrosse topics.

Fresh off Princeton's 16-9 win over Notre Dame in the NCAA Championship, a sweaty and exasperated Nick Ossello joins IL's Terry Foy and Larken Kemp to discuss the Tigers' zone defense, groundball superiority and flow-state offense. From there, they dive into the Tewaaraton race, unpack the Semifinals, break down the latest news on the saga surrounding Lars Tiffany's firing, discuss Charlottesville as a host venue and finish up by talking about Northwestern's ninth national championship — complete with a touch of controversy.
