As we approach our fourth weekend of college lacrosse action, what do we really know? Some teams look like legit contenders, and some hyped contenders look very pedestrian. Do we know anything yet? All we can be sure of is that it’s way too early to crown a champion, and a fool’s errand to write any team off before the end of February.

One thing we can definitely be sure of is that there is a gourmet feast of action this weekend. SEVEN bouts featuring teams in this week’s KANE Media Poll from Inside Lacrosse, as 14 of the Top 20 matchup across the box on sidelines this weekend. That is ridiculous. D-Fly and Dixie are here to get you set for this smorgasbord of lacrosse.

This week’s guest is Owen Duffy from North Carolina. The 2024 ACC Freshman of the Year and a pre-season All-America attackman joins the guys to give a Chapel Hill perspective on the start of the season. As the No. 9 Tar Heels get set to take on No. 3 Johns Hopkins at Homewood Field on Saturday, Duffy talks staying positive as he rehabbed his season-ending injury, lessons learned from his athletic parents, the tradition of St. Anthony’s lacrosse, beautiful Ithaca, New York, new faces in Chapel Hill, the best place to eat in East Quogue and much more.
