There was a lot of stuff to pack into today's print edition story about how lacrosse has arrived in Las Vegas.

True, lines for less than a dozen games each weekend does not make lacrosse anywhere near the presence of many other sports at the Wynn Las Vegas. But it's still there, which is an interesting development for the sport.

I asked Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala about it when I was up at Homewood on Tuesday, and he summed things up quite well. Like a lot of people, Petro had a realistic acceptance that the growth of the game would spawn a lot of things.

"It's in football, it's in basketball, it's in baseball, it's in hockey, boxing, wrestling,” Pietramala said. "It's everywhere. I don't think anything of it. If people are paying attention and people care about, then eventually they're going to bet on it."

And now they are in lacrosse.
