The most over rated team in D1 should take a large tumble in the polls this week. Penn State got smoked in second half by Colorado.(unranked). PSU had some surprise in them in the tournament last year which propelled them to rankings at the beginning of this year. Surprised by the Cuse game, thought they would have showed better. Md very strong and looking great, but they looked that way last year too, until the final game. Stony Brook looked over matched as well. I know they lost one of the best offense players in the country, but it was their defense that looked lost. Fl legit.
Colorado was ranked 8th before the game and they will move up after yesterday's win.
Penn State is a very good team, luck doesn't get you to the final four and within one goal of beating the eventual National Champions.
Why surprised by Syracuse Vs Maryland game? Syracuse is a very good team but they were coming of a tough weekend where they played a freezing cold game on the road, got back on the bus then played a tough game on one day of rest. Not sure if they drove or flew to Maryland but either way wear and tear will take a toll on the players. Syracuse will be just fine. I commend them for challenging themselves with a brutal schedule. Maryland and Florida both on the road with one rest day.
Maryland is great.
Stony Brook was over matched. Every team has to deal with injuries.
Florida is very good and will be fighting it out to make it to the Final Four. Easy April schedule, not sure if will help or hurt come May.
