After more than three months of play, the college lacrosse regular season is wrapped up with the conference tournaments just hours ahead of the selection of the field of 18 teams that will fight it out for the national championship. The committee selecting the bracket has its work cut out for it this season with 10 spots going to automatic qualifiers and competition among the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten and Ivy League for the main contenders for at-large spots. So how will the decisions come down on Sunday night?

Our bracket projection will try to answer those questions. The results of the conference tournaments clarified some things. Richmond avoided an upset to eliminate potential bid thief St.
