One thing I think people miss about the bye that BC and UMD get is not only the fresh legs but the ability to make it to the regional final without any injuries as evident by what happened to Gaber last night. Imagine if he was not able to come back in. That is huge for UMD and BC.
The problem with Bucky is they rely too much on Cole Caulfield to carry them. That's a lot to ask of one player especially during the tournament when teams are all good.
