The Wildcats play the Catamounts in a Sunday matinee, with the former hoping to regain sole possession of 1st place in HE, and the latter trying to leapfrog the UMasses and land in 4th. Both teams had to travel to Burlington, as Vermont played to a tie against BU in Boston on Friday.
(A brief aside: On Friday, the UNH BB team played (and lost to) the Pitt Panthers, and only scored 7 points in the 1st half against Pitt's 15, resulting in a new NCAA Div 1 record for fewest total points in a half since the introduction of the clock shot. On Saturday, UNH football played (well, they really underplayed) the Villanova Wildcats, and scored a mere 7 points total, in the 2nd half. UNH hockey plays the Catamounts today -- that's 3 opponents for UNH with feline-related names in a weekend. (I'm conveniently leaving out the game against the River Hawks on Friday.) I sincerely doubt either New Hampshire or Vermont will ring up 7 goals, but the symmetry would be sweet or sour, depending.)
Easy prediction: the Cats will win today.
