Tonight marked the end of the season for two BU men's teams.

The hockey team wrapped up its regular season with a 3-2 at New Hampshire, locking up a tie for second place and the second seed in the Hockey East tournament. While that's a great result for a team not expected to do quite that well this year, it's a little frustrating when you look back and see opportunities lost during the season. Giving up leads to tie games at home against Lowell and UNH (the latter just this past Thursday). Only getting one point out of Northeastern the weekend before. Dropping both games to BC during that home and home series.

Still, better to play Providence in the first round of the Hockey East playoffs than either NU or Lowell, given how this season's gone.

The other team that wrapped things up tonight was the hoops team, as they dropped their opening round game in the America East playoffs to Maine. This is the second year in a row they've lost the opening round game. It may be something in the location, at least this year; they also lost their regular season finale at Binghamton, who is hosting the tournament first and semifinal rounds.

The hoops team winds up 20-8, which I hope will get them into the NIT. I'm not holding out too much hope, given that their best win of the year was their home victory over Vermont. They do have wins over URI, Fordham, Youngstown St., and Michigan, but none of those teams are over .500 (some dramatically so). We'll see.
