I can agree from an experience stand point that Hopkins would be number...b/c they sure do have the experience...but I do not think that they are the best unit overall....I mean don't get me wrong I am a die-hard fan and I hope they go all the way.....but in a typical Hopkins game that they win...the offense has the ball for 65-70% of the game...so they do not need to have as much as an emphasis on defense as other teams...Pinto is the only starter that can be a takeaway defenseman that could pressure the guy he is covering to cough up the ball...especially if it is late in the game and they are down a goal or two...Chris Watson is a bit on the slow side and really is just a big body that covers a lot of space and make it tough to get good looks at the goal....Tom Garvey is over-rated....the reason he is effective has he has been against the Powells and Dingmans is because of the quick slides and help he gets on double teams....but on one-on-one match-ups he can get burned real bad....Mike Powell toasted him in the 2004 Final Four...I think that Cuse was overlooked....they have a solid unit that came on late in the playoffs with their zone and only lost one starter....Towson is decent too with Cummins and Turnblacer and 3-year starter Sothoron in goal
