My theory is that there is so much talent out there on all the teams that things are more even than we all think. I also think the difference is in preparation. If coaches get a team ready and fired up, they have been performing, and vice-a-versa, if teams take games lightly, they are coming up short. And, kids are stepping up, like Blindenblacker with 18 saves against the Hoos. The 'Cuse was fired up for the Prineton game, and Princeton was flat at first. I think Notre Dame took Hofstra too lightly and they lost. Its very hard to be a student and to prepare mentally for the level that players have to perform at day in and day out. One thing I will say, though...its fun to watch!
