Coming off a tough trio of games over the holiday season, the Boston University Terrier basketball team looked to rebound from a two game losing streak against their America East counterpart New Hampshire Wildcats.

The Terriers have fallen three games under the .500 mark to 5-8 and 0-1 in conference play. Coach [...]

There is no poll this week as there was very limited action on the ice. Vermont beat Dartmouth in the only game featuring a Hockey East team, one of only three overall (and one of those was exhibition). There will not be another poll until the first week of January after teams wrap up their [...]
Boston College charged to the end of the 2009 portion of the schedule with five consecutive wins, no losses in seven games (6-0-1), and only one in 10 (8-1-1).

The RPI Engineers and the BU Terriers faced off Friday night. It was a battle of the bottom of the barrel, as both teams were second to last in their conferences. BU put up a good fight, but in the end too many mistakes an an inability to score during 5-on-5 play cost them the match, [...]
Many people are not familiar with Lewisburg, Pennsylvania’s Bucknell University, famous for their 2005 NCAA tournament upset over the #3 seeded Kansas Jayhawks.
