I was up in Ithaca, NY with the Duke Lacrosse team as they played Ohio State in the NCAA Quarterfinals, hosted by Cornell University. This is the second year in a row that Duke has not had to play the host school after the host was jettisoned in the first round. When Duke traveled to Annapolis last year, UNC dispatched Navy, matching Duke instead with UNC. This year, Ohio State took out the Cornell Big Red before Cornell had a chance to play Duke at their home.
The trip was a lot of fun. We flew by private charter which was very spoiling.
I posted some behind-the-scenes photos of the trip on Inside Lacrosse’s blog site. Here are the links:

Eventually, I will have all the photos posted on my website.
Thursday I am shipping up to Boston with the team. I’m pretty stoked.
