\"T.T.<\/a>
T.T. Cianfarano of Clarkson (Clarkson Athletics)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s hard to believe we are down to the last two weekends of the season. The NCAA tournament starts this weekend! Last weekend, Nicole and I struggled a little bit, as I went 5-2 (.714) and Nicole was 3-4 (.428). On the year, I am now 340-117-63 (.714), while Nicole is 314-143-63 (.664)<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse at No. 1 Wisconsin<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Syracuse did well to advance to the NCAA tournament by winning the CHA tournament and its autobid. Their season ends here though. Wisconsin 5-0<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This one should be all Badgers. I’ll take them to win. Wisconsin 4-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 7 Princeton at No. 2 Minnesota<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Princeton has struggled down the stretch. Its loss to Wisconsin last weekend aside, Minnesota has looked very good. Minnesota 4-1<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I think will be closer than the Gophers would like, but they win. Minnesota 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 6 Cornell at No. 3 Northeastern<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> I think Northeastern’s offense is better the Cornell’s defense, and the Northeastern’s defense is up to the challenge of Cornell’s offense. Northeastern 4-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> I’m going with the firepower of the Huskies to take this one. Northeastern 4-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. 5 Boston College at No. 4 Clarkson<\/strong>
\nCandace:<\/strong> Which BC team shows up? The Eagles are terrible on the road regardless, so I think their season ends here. Clarkson 4-2<\/strong>
\nNicole:<\/strong> This is a toss-up for me, so I’ll go for the slight upset with Boston College winning. Boston College 4-3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
