And with so many storylines in each of the big games, the guys go deep in this week’s previews.

While the Jays prepare for UNC, Kilrain joins the guys to talk about leaving home for high school, playing for Coach Jon Posner at Culver and Lawrenceville, being the first solo captain of the Blue Jays in 37 years, his Canadian-influenced playing style, the experience of playing for Team USA in South Korea, why he chose Hopkins and much, much more.

GIVE & GO
In this week’s Robert Duvall-themed Give & Go, the fellas pay tribute to the legendary actor with a fun trivia game about his memorable film career.

LaxGripper is not what you think it is.

They are hand grips that go on a lacrosse shaft to help beginner and experienced players learn, develop and master the fundamentals in a simple and more productive way. LaxGrippers guide beginners to proper hand placement and finger positioning on the shaft, so the fingers and palm nestle the handle naturally — eliminating the "death grip" and other grip flaws that frustrate players and undermine skill development from day one.

To learn more, IL's Terry Foy talked to founder Rob Kamins about why and how he developed the product, what he's learned since it's been out in the world and how he thinks it can influence lacrosse's growth.

The third-annual Atlanta Lacrosse Invitational is set for Saturday at Morehouse College's Harvey Stadium, featuring a triple-header or Army-Michigan on the men's side and Boston College-Michigan and Army-Florida State on the women's side.

In advance of the event, President/Chairman of the Board Jason Breyo joins IL's Kevin Brown, Matt Kinnear and Terry Foy to discuss how the event came about, his background with the sport, what they hope to accomplish by hosting it at an HBCU and incorporating three charity partners, and how they've grown the platform this year by adding the South Georgia Showdown, featuring High Point-Jacksonville at Georgia Southern University on Feb. 28.

We’re already blessed with a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in a standalone TV window. You can bet D-Fly & Dixie are excited. With a couple of other Top 20 matchups on tap, this is a loaded show.
