NCAA Lacrosse Tournament 2025 preview as brackets are announced
The road to lacrosse glory is set. The 2025 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship bracket has been unveiled, with 18 teams ready to battle for the national title.
Ten teams enter via automatic bids from conference wins, while eight secured at-large spots selected by the DI Men's Lacrosse Committee. The single-elimination tournament culminates in final rounds at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, from May 24–26.
Reigning champions Notre Dame headline this year's bracket as they chase a rare three-peat under head coach Kevin Corrigan. After dominant wins in 2023 and 2024, they enter as one of the top seeds and face a tough draw, opening against No. 4 Ohio State on May 11.
Top-seeded Cornell, hungry for its first title since 1977, and No. 2 Maryland, who last won in 2022, round out the top three seeds. Other contenders include Duke, Princeton, and Syracuse, all with rich championship histories and strong 2025 campaigns.
🔥 First Round Highlights (May 10–11)
North Carolina vs. Richmond, noon
Princeton vs. Towson, 2:30 p.m.
Duke vs. Georgetown, 7:30 p.m.
Syracuse vs. Harvard, May 11, 5 p.m.
Cornell and Maryland await results from the May 7 opening round (Robert Morris vs. Air Force, UAlbany vs. Siena).
Quarterfinals follow on May 17–18, with semifinals set for May 24 and the final on Monday, May 26 at noon ET, airing live on ESPN.
Notre Dame's back-to-back titles place them among recent greats, with only Virginia (2019 & 2021) and Duke (2013 & 2014) achieving similar consistency. The Irish crushed Maryland 15-5 last year, signaling their title defense will be no fluke.
As the stage sets for Memorial Day weekend in Foxborough, all eyes are on whether Notre Dame can make history—or if a new champion will emerge.

Cardi B confirms romance with Stefon Diggs on Instagram amid divorce from Offset
Cardi B has officially confirmed her relationship with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs via Instagram, sharing an intimate carousel of their Memorial Day celebration on a yacht in Miami. The couple, who have been linked since February after being seen together in New York and spending Valentine's Day side by side, appeared affectionate in a photo lounging on the yacht's deck. The post also included images of romantic gifts, such as bouquets of red roses and large teddy bears, suggesting a deepening connection between the Grammy-winning artist and the New England Patriots player. Cardi captioned the post 'Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,' hinting at a new phase in her life as she navigates a public and contentious divorce from rapper Offset. Despite earlier reports last week claiming Cardi was upset with Diggs for allegedly flirting with bikini-clad women during the same yacht gathering, their latest Instagram update suggests the pair are on solid ground. This relationship milestone marks their first official confirmation following several months of speculation, including a courtside appearance together at Madison Square Garden during the NBA playoffs.

Lee Corso retires from ESPN, final 'College GameDay' show date revealed
Lee Corso, a fixture of ESPN's College GameDay since 1987, will retire following the broadcast on 30 August 2025, the network confirmed on Thursday. Lee Corso, the longtime ESPN broadcaster known for his headgear predictions and lively on-air presence, will end his run on College GameDay at the start of the 2025 college football season. His final appearance will air on 30 August, marking the end of a 38-year tenure that helped define college football coverage in the United States. 'My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and College GameDay for nearly 40 years,' Corso said in a statement. 'I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement.' Corso, who turns 90 in August, began his trademark headgear segment in 1996, donning mascot heads, helmets, and even historical costumes to make his weekly predictions. Since then, he has made 430 headgear selections, posting a record of 286 wins to 144 losses. Famous for his catchphrase 'Not so fast, my friend,' Corso became a fan favourite alongside colleagues Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, and Desmond Howard. His chemistry with the panel helped make the Saturday morning programme a staple of college football culture. Herbstreit paid tribute to Corso in a social media message: 'Almost 30 years together. I have enjoyed sitting next to you, watching you do your thing. So much fun and so many great moments on the show and off the show. This is a celebration for everything you did. You're an icon and once in a lifetime person. It has been a special time for all of us. You've earned this retirement.' Corso overcame a stroke in 2009 that temporarily left him unable to speak, returning to the programme later that year. In recent seasons, he has appeared less frequently on the road, though he attended the national title game between Ohio State and Notre Dame in Atlanta last year. Before joining ESPN, Corso spent nearly three decades coaching college and professional football, including stints at Louisville, Indiana, and Northern Illinois. ESPN said it plans special programming to honour Corso's legacy ahead of his final show.
