I think Towson would have won this one going away if Woodall didn't get hurt. He's won 66% this year if you take out the game against Denver and Baptiste.

I'm disappointed in Penn State - thought they would go far this year.  They usually fall apart at the end of the season but this time they actually made the NCAAs and took an early exit. I really thik the game needs teams like Penn St - big school, broad fan base, successful non-revenue athl programs and most of all non-Blue Blood- to do well in the tournament. I would like to see them in the Final 4 instead of the Maryland-Hopkins-ACC axis we always seem to get.

Lots of talk about Nadelen being ready for a big-time gig, incl Michigan. This Towson team seems a little low-scoring for my taste but this was a big W for him today.

Bummed to hear that former Michigan goalie Gerald Logan got ruled academically ineligible for Hopkins in what would've been his first career playoff game against Duke today. Though maybe if Hopkins loses, Pietramala will be on the next plane to Detroit and we'll have an announcement on Monday.

Those godawful buckeye helmets with the red smear that runs down through the facemask to the chin reminds me of a used maxi pad. Just like the football helmets with wide stripe for those extra heavy days.
