The Tailgate, Week 11: This Is Probably as Good as It Gets

About this episode

Terry Foy and Nick Ossello discuss the highlights of a thrilling weekend in college lacrosse, including key games and player performances.

They know this is the third week in a row they're saying it, but IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to discuss what was probably the best weekend of the college lacrosse season so far. They start with The Rivalry, where Matt Collison and Oran Gelinas combined to power the Blue Jays to a big — but controversial — win over Maryland. They transition to Columbus where Ohio State withstood an ill-timed timeout call to top Michigan, then transition to Cambridge, where Colin Burns sealed the Tigers' game-of-the-week win over Harvard. From there, they recap the ACC, including Carolina's OT win in Charlottesville and Notre Dame's gutting win at Duke, which leaves the Blue Devils reeling in the NCAA Tournament race. Finally, to Syracuse, where Joey Spallina became the leading scorer in Orange program history.
