One team seeks its first title in over a decade. The other is looking to repeat. What a virtual NCAA championship game we have on our hands.
After your voting helped us determine the finalists in the men’s bracket of the Nike / US Lacrosse Magazine Virtual NCAA Tournament, No. 1 Syracuse and No. 6 Virginia square off in the title game.
Voting will begin on Friday on Twitter (@uslacrossemag). Unlike previous polls that lasted just 24 hours, this poll will last three days. All weekend long, we’ll be retweeting, sharing stories and encouraging fans and both teams to go back-and-forth. Come have some fun with us on Twitter.
A quick reminder of the tournament rules:
-
The fan choice will count for 50 percent of the result
-
US Lacrosse Magazine experts will account for the other 50 percent of the result
-
The championship winner will be revealed early next week
