Re: BU Terriers 2018-19: Albie in Charge
Welp. Looks like we get Northeastern (and BC gets UMass). Wondering which game we will have? Ordinarily, all things being equal (and if TV decides it is the more "compelling" game), the #1 seed would play first. Not sure there will be enough of a difference between the BU/NU crowd and the BC/UMass crowd to warrant changing that. IMO, we caught a break: 1) We don't play UMass, who clearly has had the best season and nothing I saw Friday night would lead me to think they aren't the best team, and 2) Providence, a nemesis of ours, is out. So it's the best we could have hoped for, since we have to run the table to make the tournament.
