Hockey East Semis Set as UNH Upset, BC Sweeps
With seven of the teams finishing within four points of each other, quarterfinals going the distance and overtimes were to be expected and the conference delivered!

UNH Wins Hockey East, Playoff Picture Set

Hockey East Beating Itself Up in Stretch Drive
With two weeks left in Hockey East play, nothing much is settled. This weekend did not help to provide much clarity either as three of the five pairings were splits and the lone sweep was an “upset”, further jamming the schools in the standings. New Hampshire and Boston College have separated themselves from the pack [...]
Terriers Catching Fire Down the Stretch
Ever since their last minute collapse against the University of Vermont, where the Catamounts rallied from a 75-71 deficit in the final 60 seconds of play to stun BU, the Terriers have turned their game around and are winners of three straight contests. If you set aside the last minute of the Vermont game, where [...]
Terriers Back in Poll, Eagles Still Tops Among Hockey East
BU’s sweep of Maine this weekend has the Terriers as the league’s hottest team and they have elevated to fourth place, which would mean home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, in Hockey East. The pollsters have taken notice of BU’s recent tear, putting them back in the poll for the first [...]
The Missing Link with Terrier Basketball
For three consecutive years, the Terriers have been preseason selections by America East coaches and by several sports related websites, such as ESPN and CBS Sports, to advance to the NCAA tournament, but BU has failed to do so since 2002. This year, which started out so promising, seems to have the same trend as previous [...]
BC Captures Beanpot, Returns to Top 10
Boston College built a 4-1 lead and turned back BU’s two goal rally before the Terriers could tie the game to capture the school’s 15th Beanpot Tournament Championship, and second in three years.

Terriers in a Funk, Losers of Two Straight Games
The Boston University basketball team has found themselves in a downward spiral headed into the last month of conference play.

BU has suffered recent losses to [...]
BC, BU Advance to Beanpot Final, UHN Leads Bunched Group in Poll

BU Drops BC as Beanpot Looms
The seasons of the Terriers and Eagles are on opposite trajectories now. BU had a very tough start, but is rebounding lately and has now beaten their arch-rival in the last two meetings. They won the Fenway Classic and took out the Eagles in Chestnut Hill in a 5-4 overtime game. Meanwhile, BC seems to [...]
Terriers Finish the Second Week of Conference Play Behind Vermont
Trio of Terriers Leads BU to Third Straight Victory Coming off a stellar offensive game against the University of Hartford, where Corey Lowe and John Holland eclipsed the 30 point mark in the same game for the first time in school history, three BU players scored at least 20 points to lead the Terriers past [...]
Eagles Still Top Rated Hockey East Team at Number 11
Boston College was two for two this weekend and remains the top rated Hockey East representative in the latest USCHO.com Division I Men’s Hockey Poll. However, at 11, the conference still lacks a Top 10 team, but, like last week, the league is dominating the bottom half of the poll. After BC at 11, UMass [...]
Terrier Duo Sets Scoring Record for Second Conference Victory
Never had there been a game in Boston University’s 101 years of men’s basketball history where two Terrier teammates scored 30 points a piece in the same game. That statement was true until Saturday against the University of Hartford, where two men finally accomplished this feat. Junior John Holland and senior Corey Lowe scored 32 [...]
Fenway Loss Sends Eagles Tumbling Out of Top 10
Archrivals BC and BU took the ice at Fenway in a college hockey version of the Winter Classic last Friday night and the Teriers took the victory. The Eagles loss was their third in a row after a hot stretch before the holidays and dropped them five spots from seven to 12 in the latest [...]
