Boston University vs Providence 2/19 and 20

Re: Boston University vs Providence 2/19 and 20

problem is your rpi is also based largely on how other teams perform so its virtaully impossible to actually calculate without predicting every outcome.

'cept it's not just rpi... umass is currently in (15) with the 19th best rpi. ferris would be out with 12th.

Yeah, I get that. I'm not new to this stuff. I thought using the words "I think", "roughly", and "estimated" made it clear that this wasn't precise, but perhaps not.

To bring this back to the thread topic, which is the games(s) this weekend.....

I remember the last game thread when I said that it always seems to be Lent when BU plays there, and guess what?! Lent starts this week! Ha! No hot dogs at The Coffin!

There is a Spikes about 1/2 mile from the rink. Bring your own to the game.

Lower prices than in Boston, and a bigger selection than I was used to, love that place.

A) You can bring food into the rink?

B) It's Friday during Lent. No meat. Even if they serve it at the arena.

Netman does it all the time.

The choices are severely limited this time of year. Best to bring your own.

if only traffic was likely limited.

Agree on that one. I really want to get up there for this game, but it's so hard without needed to leave work early, and somehow I don't think my boss will see this as necessary...

Yeah, unfortunatley with traffic and work etc....7PM games at Providence are officially off my list. I wish this one were on TV.

I'm flying into Providence tonight for meetings tomorrow, doubt I can turn a little snow into "I have to stay the week".

The Abbey is 1/2 mile away. Great grub, plenty of cold beer

The absolute necessity of four points this weekend is making me really anxious / nervous for these games..

We can only lay an egg against Providence once a year, right?

It's the kind of game you hate because success really isn't an option it's either failure or not a failure. I think the PC win last month should help remove most of the trap element from this trap game though.

The thing about that first Providence game was that BU actually played a very strong game. Parker said afterward that he thought the Terriers played well and then said as much the next week after watching the gametape. Providence brought their best game and had enough things go its way to come away with the 'W.' It was just one of those days for BU.
