That’s ridiculous saying not much difference in the top 10. I agree BC hit their stride at the right time, but UMD was not in the conversation last year. Now if you said not much difference in the top 4 that would be different
Duke finished the year ranked # 8…. The lost to UNC by 1, they lost to BC by 2…. I would say not much difference there. Maryland finished ranked #10 and they lost to Duke by 1 … again, not much of a difference. Any given day.
Duke also lost 6-13 to UNC 5-15 to Cuse 10-22 to Northwestern They are not even close to those teams
BC lost to UNC by 11, there was a running clock early second half… the final was 21 - 9
BC lost to Syracuse by by 9 … they were down 8-1 in the first half, the game was never close the Final was 16 - 7.
BC struggled with Duke it was a 1 goal game with 3 minutes to go… final 17-15 … that is close.
Sorry, you can’t have it both ways. Any given day.
