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

And now UConn has moved to online classes.
 
Only a matter of time before these are cancelled unfortunately

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?

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.

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.
 
I’m not surprised either. And apparently Massachusetts is on the verge of becoming a hot spot. So playing in the Garden was probably off the table for the finals.

The HE Playoffs is just another example in a long line of examples. I've complained to them when they've ignored UConn events in lieu of a puff piece on a local (MA) high school talent. Change the name to MASN if you're going to be Mass centric. But if you're NESN, then represent all of NE.
I was trying to find TV ratings to see if that would validate them or me, but didn't find anything in my quick search. It should be about ratings, no?

Frankly, I hope you're right about the over reaction!

i have to disagree with you there. This is a worldwide issue and more that are infected, no matter where they are or their age, the more will die. It’s in the math. The only way to slow this down is to be smart and do what is being done. It kills me to lose the sports as well, but in the scheme of things, we all know it’s not that important. Lives are. I live with a daughter who was born with an immune deficiency and a elderly mother-in-law(I know, god help me) but this is a way to protect the most vulnerable in our society right now. Sorry...end of speech. Don’t take it personally. I agree with 99.9 percent of your posts. Stay safe out there boneyarders.
