The Cats move on to Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson, Maryland next weekend for the eagerly anticipated revenge matchup with third ranked North Carolina.  The Tar Heels, who beat Virginia to earn their way to Towson, are the only team to beat Northwestern, winning 18-16 in Evanston on April 18.  That loss shattered a 41 game winning streak and a 59 game home winning streak so you can just bet the Cats have been salivating at the thought of getting a chance at the Heels again.  The loss really woke the Cats up as they have gone 7-0 and played their best games since.  No reason the second school on Tobacco Road should go down any harder than the First School did yesterday.  Expect NU in the final on Sunday.

Today, for only the second time in more than 35 years the Blackhawks have reached the Stanley Cup Finals.  I'm typing these words but I still don't believe them and probably won't until the Hawks take the ice against what looks to be the Flyers.  The Hawks dispensed with the Sharks overcoming a two goal deficit to take out the top seed in the Western Conference and sweep the series.  The Hawks look primed for what should be a tough and entertaining series with the surprising seventh seeded Flyers, who lead Montreal 3-1.
