Got any Friday night plans?
By Joe Micik
I sure as hell don’t. That’s why I’ll be following a big day of Boston College sports.
The men’s hockey team has a very important game tonight against New Hampshire, with the final game of the regular season tomorrow against the same Wildcats. The situation is one you already know: BC must win both games against UNH to earn the top seed in the Hockey East Tournament. If the season ended today, BC would apparently draw Vermont in the quarterfinals.
We don’t have to worry about this team making the NCAA Tournament, but it sure would help BC’s resume to win a regular-season title and a Hockey East tournament title. BC sits at 5th in the country and we are knocking at the door for a 1-seed. The only way to get there is to keep winning.
The women’s basketball team is in the ACC quarterfinals against 2-seeded Florida State this evening. The ladies got smoked by FSU earlier this season, so it doesn’t look too promising, but here’s to hoping.
Amongst other things going on tonight, baseball will get back to business, opening a 3-game set with Florida Atlantic. BC faced them last week and got slammed, 13-2.
