Instead of an easy draw that pits the Eagles against the Purple Eagles (Niagara), Boston College should be punished with a first round date against Notre Dame, a team that beat BC on its own ice this season, or perhaps even Harvard. Instead of a tight contest pitting the two hottest teams in the nation, Maine should be skating against a Holy Cross or a Niagara, not the Crimson. The polls, and by extension the people, say so. Here’s hoping the NCAA will learn to listen to that human element...
