What games are coming up this week for the hockey, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball teams?.. and a few more
Happy Monday TOC. Hopefully you all were able to watch the excellent result of Friday night’s hoops! The women’s team also solidly defeated Indiana yesterday. The Hockey results over the weekend weren’t as excellent, but the team still holds their fate in their hands with a matchup at Notre Damminy on Friday and Saturday. Speaking of Saturday – that officially starts the month of… hmmm, remind me again. Whose month is it when February wraps?
In the rankings, hockey notches in at #2 in the pairwise, between BC and Minny.
Women’s basketball slipped one spot to #23.
While the men scootched up one spot to #14 in the Net, they are up 6 in the AP to #8 (also #8 in the USA Today Poll).
