It’s easy to just watch the same teams every week. It’s especially true in college lacrosse. Just watch the ACC, the Big Ten, the Ivy, maybe spice it up with a Patriot League game in there. But for a lot of fans, the viewing experience is either watch their favorite team, the game between the two top ranked teams if it’s different, and that’s it. Let’s broaden our horizons together!
