The Road Ahead

BU has won two in a row with this past defeat of Vermont. I'm not getting too optimistic just yet (especially in light of the "uniqueness" of the last game), but maybe this is the start of a turnaround. A win tomorrow against Hartford would be 3 in a row, which can accurately be described as a streak.

We're going to need that momentum heading into the second half of the season, because it's going to be ROUGH. After tomorrow, BU will have one game against each of the other America East teams. The problem with this is that the games against the bottom 4 teams (Maine, Hartford, Stony Brook, and UMBC) are at home, and the games against the 4 teams in the top half of the conference standings (Albany, Vermont, Binghamton and UNH) are ALL on the road. That's a damn tough schedule.

Personally, I'd be happy getting 2 of those 4 road games, and sweeping the home games.
