Well, I actually live in CT but I go there occasionally to ski and suck down maple syrup.

But remember, a Catamount is a medium to large sized Wildcat.

I love the notion of Mick having to face someone who wants to slow-it-down more than he does.

UCLA was a 13.5 point favorite but so far Akron looks like the team that should have been favored

This pace to me looks better for the Bruins. Allows them to use their athleticism to their advantage
