Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 4515507, member: 43"] Ya I don't see Maryland at #2 as any sort of downgrade or negative. All you need to do is look at what Maryland lost offensively and what UVA brings back, it gives them a slight edge despite Maryland having the edge at FOGO and in Goalie. Maryland has done an incredible job of reloading the lst few years, really nuts when you consider the loss of Bernhardt, but at some point it's going to catch up for a year and this maybe the year. hard to lose that much to graduation and simply not miss a beat, I don't care who you are or what year it is. I saw it with SU, Princeton, Duke etc in their prime eras, it always catches up eventually. That said both Virginia and Maryland should be very good to excellent and it wouldn't shock anyone if they met again deep in the tourney. [/QUOTE]
