Great game by the Pios against the best offense in the country.

DU was very good and adjusted well to get more good looks.

Now its on to Indy for a rematch with Carolina, whom DU beat last year in Chapel Hill.

UNC is the top overall team in the country right now, and DU will need a great effort to beat them.

Good atmosphere at the game, but a little quieter than 2011 NCAAs. A number of fraternities had formals tonight, which kept student attendence a bit lower than it would have been....

Nice win. Some great shots of a full Barton. And even a Boone sighting.

3 Boone sighting. We played very poised and our NCAA experience showed. Besides the usual guys, Canizarro was terrific.
Injuries- Not having a healthy Noble hurts. Chase tires, has lost some speed, but still gets it done. Flint. Is he going to be okay for next Sunday? his body language after hit to his head late in game was not good. He has had concussion issues.
Go DU!!

Jordan: go on Sunday. I hear some Chicago alums are going to Indy. I'll be in Philly if we win.

Best, Dunker

Berg is from British Columbia - if he scores eight goals per game in Lax for DU, could he pop a couple per game in hockey?

TJ Fast played both sports as a varsity athlete before he left DU.

Oh I'm going. Just wondering if anyone else is going to make it. Hope to run into some of the Chicago alums if they're able to come down.
