Well, allow me to make the same prediction. As good as Maine has been
(4 or 5 straight 30 win seasons, 40-1-2 this year), they still have
yet to make it to the NC$$ Finals. This is nothing against Shawn
Walsh or the black Bears program but obviously that has to grind
on you. Just ask Mike K and the Duke Blue Devils (it took them like
5 Final Fours to win it all). I too pick BU to win it all.
