  • Championship Weekend! PLL recaps, semifinal talk, and the keys to beating Adelphi and Tufts
    May 22 2026

    We're back! After some time off we've got a Championship Weekend episode. First, a few notes about that time off and the future of the pod and Sticks In.

    Then, we recap some of the PLL action so far. We talk about game quality with so many players missing, guys seizing opportunities, and where each team was good and needs to improve after two weeks.

    Then, it's Championship Weekend. We talk about each of the matchups. Can Duke find the depth to handle all of Princeton's threats? Can Johnston be productive against a tough matchup? Will Johnny Mullen tilt the field again? Does the winner of Lyght vs Spallina get the Tewaaraton? Can the Cuse SSDM's play their best game of the year?

    Plus, breakdowns of both the D2 and D3 title games, and the keys to upsetting juggernauts like Adelphi and Tufts.

  • Recapping the regular season and NCAA bracket talk
    May 5 2026

    The regular season is over, and it's NCAA tournament time.

    We start by looking back at the conference by conference predictions that we made before the season started. What did we get wrong, who did we miss, and what about the few things we managed to get right?

    Then, it's bracket talk. After shaming the NCAA a bit for letting it release early, we look at some of the stories. Princeton is the one seed, and it was clear by Sunday night why. Duke is in, despite the light schedule. Maryland is out for the first time in decades. UVA is as hot as a pistol, Richmond gets to host Duke, and a more resumes and games to look forward to.

    Finally, my final Top 20 until the end of the year. We had a media poll out today, I reveal how I voted.

  • PLL training camp, a new Pro Day, and Terry Foy talks NCAA Bracketology
    Apr 24 2026

    It's a PACKED friday episode.

    We start by celebrating that the boys are back. PLL training camp is underway. We talk through the earlier start, and some interesting names on the rosters. Plus, some thoughts on PLL coaches tendency to just go with guys they know, how it damages credibility in some cases, and makes it that much harder for guys to break into the PLL.

    Then, we talk about the solution to that problem. PLL Pro Day will happen in Baltimore in May, giving coaches and GMs the chance to evaluated invited undrafted players for their rosters. We talk about how it can be a path for undercovered talent to make their way to the pros, as long as the league avoids some obvious pitfalls with the invite list.

    After that we get to some college ball. Terry Foy of Inside Lacrosse joins to go through his latest edition of Bracketology. We talk about Duke's weird non-resume, potential bid thiefs, and the games this weekend that can be high impact on the bracket.

    Finally, we run through the full slate of games. Every game on the calendar, plus a quick analysis with picks.
