D-Fly and Dixie check in a day early with a new episode of the Inside Lacrosse weekend preview, with an eye on a huge Thursday of conference tournament semifinals. The preview all of the conference semifinal games of Thursday and Friday, and invite Michigan head coach Kevin Conry in for the weekly conversation.
Dixie starts off with a story about gathering with the Marr family a few years back to take in conference tournament action, then they set the table for what’s at stake this weekend. Eight conference champions will claim Automatic Qualifiers (AQs), while other teams hope to make a case for one of the eight remaining at-large berths. The guys challenge the popular notion that the ACC is guaranteed five at-large spots, and that’s what makes this weekend so important for so many teams.
