Delaware beat UMBC 10-6 on Sunday to secure a spot in the Final Four. It will be the Blue Hens' first trip ever. So it will be Hopkins vs. Delaware. I think it could be a good game. However, I think the Blue Jays are going to advance for a few reasons. First of all, the Hopkins players and coaches have plenty of Final Four experience, and the Delaware players and coaches have none. So the Blue Jays have a serious edge in experience. Secondly, since the game is played in Baltimore, chances are that Hopkins will have many more fans than Delaware, giving them a home field advantage. Thirdly, although Delaware is hungry for respect, the Blue Jays are hungry to get back to the title game after not even making the Final Four last year. Most importantly, although Delaware has talent, Hopkins has more. Some people might call Delaware the UMASS of this season. The Blue Hens have surprised many people. However, one must remember that UMASS beat Maryland and Dave Cottle, who is not known for doing much in big games when his team is the favorite, in last year's semifinal. The Blue Hens will have to get past Pietramala, who is doing as good a job as anyone right now. Although Delaware is peaking, so is Hopkins. Although Delaware has good senior leadership, so does Hopkins. So I say:

Hopkins-13
Delaware-9
