Your Big Ten slip is showing.

I only picked Hopkins because the spread seemed fairly high at 4.5.
I picked Michigan because I really dislike Duke and I did get +3.
In watching Army-UMd last week,, Army had a number of guys who hadn't done much for Army during the season who were putting up great shots and stuff - giving me the feeling Army was playing above thier normal level - often these things average out, so I picked PSU. Giving the -2 points might be too much.

Army +2 v Penn State
Notre Dame -4.5 v Johns Hopkins

2-2 this week, 24-37-3 YTD

A couple of thoughts : Duke's O middies looked pedestrian, that bus is driven by the attack.
Virginia lead by 5 with like 3 mins to go and had a failed clear that lead to a goal then had another goal that was stick side high(both goals were stick side high). Virginia loses focus ie Cormier drops a pass while wide open and then can't scoop the ball. He also wiffed on an inside shot. I think Virginia is the most talented team left, but their mental break downs can cost them.
Notre Dame can scrap and win ugly. Irish have a balanced offense and stingy defense. Face off is their weakness, yet they ride the ball back so the deficit is not as bad as stats say.
Penn State is a scrappy team that has talent. Strong defense and very good goal tending. On offense TJ Malone stirs the drink: he can score and he can assist. Really didn't see Penn State making it to championship weekend this year, not even at mid season but here they are.
