Their defense is better than last years for sure, I wouldn't call it great by any stretch but they play very physical, have good SSDM's, solid cover guys including LSM, and haven't had the number of injuries that plagued them last year. I think it's good enough to win a title especially with a healthy Cascadden.

That offense can erase so many mistakes that even in a game the D struggles (Princeton) it doesn't end up mattering.

Now that said that defense can get picked on, if Cascadden runs into a guy he struggles with or the other guy gets on a heater they could be in some trouble. There aren't a lot of teams that I think match up well with them, Maryland is one just because defensively they can cause some problems. Marylands issue is at X and offense, not sure they can keep up.

I think this is really Cornells year, if they don't do it now I am not sure when they will because they lose a lot to graduation including Kirst and Long. On their side of the backet the only two teams I think could really cause a problem would be OSU and ND. I know Penn State is their only loss but that was pretty flukey, I doubt they can replicate it.  On our side of the bracket, I'd like to think SU could cause some problems but we'd need to play way better then we did earlier in the year. Maryland defensively I think can match up well but that offense has really struggled at times, I don't know if they can score what it would take even if their D played well.
