College Lacrosse Headquarters: Schedule, Streaming Links, & Open Thread (March 14, 2015)

This feels right:

Here are your three highlights for today:

• Harvard at Brown // Princeton at Pennsylvania // Cornell at Yale: The Ivy League opens conference play this weekend and does so with two games featuring ranked opponents throwing hands at each other and another featuring a ranked team in a duel with a team that started the season in the national polls. There's only 30 minutes between the start of Cornell-Yale and Princeton-Pennsylvania, but Harvard-Brown is existing in its own atmosphere with a 3:00 start time. The conference has a ton of heat on it at this point in the season and solid performances from its members today in hyper-refined conference games could increase the profile of a league that is already receiving an increased level of attention.
• Johns Hopkins at Syracuse // Maryland at Villanova: These two things look like the highest caliber nonconference games on the calendar today. It's probably a minority position, but Maryland-Villanova is probably tighter from a competitiveness standpoint than Johns Hopkins-Syracuse. Jays-Orange, though, definitely dominates Terps-Wildcats in the context of "Which combined group of fans is more sociopathic?" Regardless, both of these games look like eyeball-worthy fare on a day full of great matchups.
• Notre Dame at Virginia // Albany at Stony Brook // Loyola at Army: Awesome conference games before the Ides of March? This, basically:
  

  

Here's Saturday's full schedule. Please let me know if there are errors. I'll fix/populate links to live stats and video as the day progresses (if necessary).

This is your open thread for Saturday. Movie idea: The Fast and the Furious 8: Racin' Rascal Scooters. People will be around to yak about whatever is tickling their fancy.
