Energy
Teaching. The Wildcats have struggled to discover a true identification this season. They aren’t dominant on the offensive or defensive finish, which creates a difficult path to beat Maryland. The one approach Northeastern can take down the Terps is thru schemes and changes, and if anybody can determine Cirovski, it’s his previous assistant Payne.
Weak spot
Protection. The Wildcats are one of many worst defensive groups within the Massive Ten this 12 months. They’ve allowed probably the most targets within the convention (25) and have the third-lowest save proportion (.648). It’s arduous to think about this being any totally different come Sunday.

The episode had a happy ending, with Kaufmann winning a whopping $85,000! She added, “When I was on Name That Tune, I was so focused on doing my best and naming as many songs as possible that I completely lost track of the score.
