Exciting times, no undefeated teams and although Maryland, Boston College and North Carolina are likely to make the Final Four they are all beatable.

Northwestern, Syracuse, Virginia, Princeton, Notre Dame, Loyola, Stony Brook, Florida all have a shot at the final four. USC, Penn, Dartmouth and JMU are all very good as well.

Maryland is my pick because they have the best defense. Hold a team to two or three goals below their season average and its a good bet that you will win the game.
