Does ND beating up on central Michigan really help Them become a better team or are they just padding stats a la Stony Brook?
Not really a fair comparison. Stony Brook dose a very good job scheduling strong programs for their OOC games.ND has had to lighten their OOC schedule a bit in order to ensure at least a .500 record so they can be considered for an at large bid to the Tournament. In any event, this is not youth lacrosse, as long as the stronger team clears their bench “early “ it’s okay. You have to let the players play, they can’t run around playing keep away. That said, It would be nice to see more assisted goals.
My guess is that if Stony Brook were an ACC team they would have to lighten their out of conference schedule a little as well. The reality is, most ACC and Big 10 teams have to be careful who they play OOC.
Duke's out of conference schedule is awful. So far they outscored Gardner-Webb and Elon by a combined 47-8. Look at the rest of their non-conference and there is only one remotely competitive game with Penn.
Gardner-Webb 22-3 Elon 25-5 William & Mary High Point Wofford East Carolina Penn Davidson Liberty
