Despite Clown-Like Loss and Equally Clownish Win, Terriers Remain in Top 20

BU Sits at 19th in PairWise

In their first week back in the top 20 of the national polls in months, the Terriers responded by dropping a game to Providence on the road, and just barely sneaking by the Friars at Agganis.

Nonetheless, they only dipped one spot in the USCHO.COM poll this week, falling to #20.

In other news, BC actually helped the Terriers out on Sunday by romping Northeastern 7-1.  That means that at the end of the third to last weekend of Hockey East regular season play, the Terriers are in sole possession of the #4 seed.  

If the playoffs started today, Northeastern would visit the Terriers for a best of three.
