D-Fly & Dixie: May Madness with The Baltimore Sun's Ed Lee

MAY MADNESS
The latest episode of the D-Fly & Dixie Podcast dives headfirst into the opening weekend of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament, with special guest Ed Lee of The Baltimore Sun joining the show. Dan, Dixie, and Ed start by surveying one of the most wide‑open brackets in recent memory, discussing momentum teams like Princeton, Richmond, Virginia, Penn State, and Army. They also unpack the season‑long turmoil at UMBC, with Ed detailing the prolonged and confusing administrative handling of the Ryan Moran situation. Continuing to get Ed’s expertise on local college sports, the trio then shifts to Maryland’s rare absence from the NCAA field for the first time in 22 years and a brutal school year overall for Terps athletics. 

From there, they break down all eight first‑round matchups, offering analysis on every game. Packed with insight, storytelling, and tournament energy, it’s one of the most comprehensive May Madness previews the show has ever delivered.
