Waving Goodbye To The Opposing Sideline In The 3rd Quarter Of An NCAA Tournament Game Is As Ruthless As Celebrations Come
Day 1 of the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament has been nothing but shellackings so far. Virginia spanked the balls off of St. Joe's. Duke whooped Utah's ass back up the rocky mountains. Speaking of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is currently shit pumping Michigan.
There hasn't been a ton of excitement going on so far today, but there has certainly been a fair share of bullying. And this celly from Connor Shellenberger is peak bully. I mean these poor bastards on St. Joe's. You have a bunch of seniors who are probably playing competitive lacrosse for the last time in their life. They have a 5-hour bus ride back home to Philly waiting for them. And here comes one of the best players we've ever seen come through college lacrosse dance all over their grave.
An entire quarter. There was still 17 full minutes of lacrosse left to play. But that didn't matter to Shelly. He sent that first d-middie halfway up I-95 with that initial face dodge. The pole essentially sets a pick on the trailing middie by diving and falling into him. There are multiple sets of ankles on the ground, a couple of players in red, the ball in the back of the net, and Connor Shellenberger decides to bid the Hawks farewell. Thanks for coming out, guys! Hope you enjoyed your stay!
I know Virginia limped their way into the tournament, but this is the Cavs team we've come to know over the past 5 years. Ruthlessly cocky and have every shred of talent to back it up. Dangerous team in May. Always helps when you have a dude on your team who has quite literally scored more goals in his career than anyone else to ever play division 1 mens lacrosse.
