You're a man (or woman) of sophisticated taste. You drive only the finest of cars (in your price range), you eat at only the swankiest of restaurants (within reason; Indian food tastes like it smells -- like hot garbage), you only wear polos with the poppiest of collars.
So why would you spend your precious time watching a lacrosse game that's boring?
Once again, it's a tremendous advantage to you that I exist. Through the miracle of math (Yes! Go math!), I've developed a fancy little method to help you pick out the most exciting games on the schedule. I call it the "Fun Factor," and it rates games based on the potential for how they'll play out.
Now, some disclosure: The "Fun Factor" is tinted with my personal tastes. The formula underlying the "Fun Factor" is based heavily on competitiveness, with a weighting for games that are expected to be higher scoring, at a quicker pace, and feature good teams with great shooters. So, don't expect a bunch of slap fights between miserable teams to appear herein (I'm looking at you, Bellarmine-Presbyterian).
The top five games for the weekend are (I've also include the worst-rated game as a warning of EXTREME UNFUN!):
RANK | DATE | TIME | AWAY | HOME | FUN FACTOR |
1 | March 26 | 1:00 | Georgetown | Duke | 7.23 |
2 | March 26 | 2:00 | Virginia | Johns Hopkins | 7.19 |
3 | March 26 | 1:00 | Drexel | Hofstra | 5.96 |
4 | March 26 | 7:00 | Syracuse | Villanova | 5.58 |
5 | March 26 | 1:00 | Yale | Princeton | 5.56 |
28 | March 26 | Never? | Manhattan | VMI | 0.35 |
North Carolina-Maryland and Pennsylvania-Cornell just missed the cut. Sorry, chaps.
