just an fyi for those that don't follow the NCAA that much in what this game means. Tonight's game doesn't count in the standings, where Northeastern is currently in 4th place out of 11, UMass is in first and has been neck and neck with Poehling's team as the best team in the NCAA. But tonight's game does count for the pairwise ranking which is used for the national championship tournament and is based off strength of schedule. Northeastern is ranked 12th, since 16 teams make, the higher up you can get the better. Northeastern has 8 more games after tonight plus the bean pot next Monday.
