5 or 8 PM is irrelevant, will JCarter make an appearance is all I care about.

The top seed usually picks the early game due to the fact that if the late game goes to OT or goes late, it makes for a tough turnaround the next night.

Or if the game goes to extra OT's you don't want to be the teams hanging around all night not knowing when you will play. Remember 2008?

I hope he picks the 5 p.m. game. UVM plays Syracuse at 9:40, it would suck if the games overlapped.

So, vs. Boston College in hockey and Syracuse in hoops on the same day? Why don't you see if you can schedule Alabama in football too and go for the "Holy Grail of tough scheduling" on the same day.

BU-Maine would be better for TV anyway if that helps the hockey east make their decision (if in fact it is their decision, if its Jerry's I have no worries).

Awesome!

Lets hope for a 2 hour game then a 6 OT BU/Maine game.

Syracuse in Buffalo

BC in Boston

Road games at neutral sites.

At Least the LadyCats wont have to play UConn in Conn.

as great as the justin maiser HT game was against y'all, the follow up ryan whitney own goal gave me enough back-to-back OT games for a lifetime.

Same thing happened to us last year with BC basketball...they were playing USC in the NCAAs during our game vs. BU...and I think it had an effect on student turnout. Hopefully for Vermont's sake (and the atmosphere of the tournament) the same thing doesn't happen to them this year.

Holy chit... I'm trying to make this thread a little bit interesting and you guys put up 23 posts about what time the game should start.

So... what time do you guys REALLY think the game will start?

Re: Vermont vs. Boston College - HEA Semifinals - 3/19 TD Garden

I have been wanting this match up.
Dying to see if the wimpy BC freshmen can do anything with the big bad Catamounts.

I think the entire team and coaching staff is looking forward to another shot at UVM--and a chance to end their season.

That's why they lace them up. UVM wins, they are in. UVM loses they go home. Simple math.

BC wins this one, they are have a pretty good chance at a 1 seed in the tournament. All we need to do is avoid having North Dakota win the WCHA tourny, even with a loss by us in the HE finals.

So win and were pretty set.
