Kind of crap luck. They might have been better of finishing 6.

UMaine just cancelled classes for the rest of the semester, (after spring break) so somehow I think the games will follow.

UMaine system shifting to remote classes after spring break

The universities will be notifying on-campus residential students to make plans to leave campus by Sunday, March 22.

I can't begin to say how much I have disliked NESN over the years. Given they are "New England's" Sports Network, their flavor is obnoxiously Boston. This coming from a Sox and Bruins fan. Why would they show all 3 PC/BC games? That's not a lot of variety. The only other game is Northeastern/UMass. They couldn't sneak in the states of CT and Maine for 1 game. F them! I thought UConn would get a little men when beating ranked Houston in hoops. I was wrong.

While agree with you in spirit, I do understand that they’ve always been a Boston sports channel. They have no reason to change that for Connecticut vs Maine when all the Massachusetts teams are playing. Especially BC, who are having a darn good year.

So are you telling me Maine is the only school that hasn’t barred fans from attending?

No surprise here...heck, at least we still have some hockey left. Go UConn!

Doubt they will play it. Basketball is being cancelled.

I’m sure you’re right. Damn....it’s the right thing to do, but it hurts.

Waiting for this before I posted the game times on the MBB board. I figured it was a chance to get more people exited about hockey. Oh well.

No surprise there. Thanks for the update.

This is all such a huge overreaction. As long as the student athletes want to do it, Play the games with no fans. I'm probably in the minority but dont care.
