Ohio State men's lacrosse's season is done, but the Big Ten is still alive. In fact, the fiercest rivalry in lacrosse is taking place today, and it's all #B1G.

Johns Hopkins and Maryland are lacrosse bluebloods and eternal rivals: they have been scrapping since 1895, and the rivalry only intensified when Johns Hopkins joined the Big Ten's nascent men's lacrosse conference. After pulling upsets in the quarterfinals, UMD and JHU are set to clash in the semifinals of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse tournament today on ESPN.

Teams from the dominant ACC tend to play each other; it's a surprise one Big Ten team advanced this far, let alone two. It's just a shame Ohio State couldn't be opposite them to complete the Big Ten's coup d'etat of lacrosse.
