It's likely not necessary to wait for an official announcement since
Maine is now the number one seed in the HE tournament.
In any tournament, the number one seed would play in the "showcase" time
slot. In this case that would be the 8 pm game. Mass vs UNH would play
in the matinée time slot (5 pm).
