(#412) Previewing the Providence and Maryland Heights Regional Finals

Good morning (er, afternoon. Sorry, a busy transfer portal morning occupied my time; see below). Welcome to the final regional final day of the NCAA Tournament.

This morning, I'll preview Quinnipiac-BC in Providence and Michigan-Michigan State in Maryland Heights, including a statistical breakdown of each game, my thoughts on what each team needs to do to be successful, and a pick.

NOTE: Today is a big day in the transfer portal. The window officially opens, and from today until May 14, underclassmen can enter the portal. I’ll have a big update later tonight with all of today’s entries. There are some big names, RIT forward Carter Wilkie, RIT goalie Tommy Scarfone, and UConn forward (and first-round pick) Matthew Wood.

In case you missed it, here’s a recap of Saturday’s action:
