To answer your question Clair

BC fans will tell you that it was spring break, that the b-ball team
was playing in the Big East tourney, and had defeated Syracuse, that it
was a Thursday night, etc...

However after listening to BC fans go on and on about how they should
go to Albany instead of Maine because they travel better and will bring
more fans I just have to laugh!  Using that rationale BC fans would
rather go to Albany for a game than see a game in their own arena
against their arch rival??

Other thought is they just assumed the team would win!!!

Now lets all hope that Maine has learned a lesson from last year and
takes it to Merrimack tonight!
