Here is a quote from the UMass paper. Kind of sounds like UMass thinks they
got a good draw:
"I think I like [the matchup] a lot. I bet every guy on our team does. We
just played them last week. We played them really well Friday night and had
a win. Saturday night we played good for two periods, they got a couple of
lucky bounces and we kind of caved in," Warner said. "Of all the teams we
could have played in the playoffs, this is a good draw for us."

Let me translate: We would rather play Maine (even in Orono) before UNH and
BC. Also, the only reason they beat us two weeks ago was that they were
lucky.
The article, however, missed the part about Maine getting 6 lucky goals down
in Florida when Maine won 8-3. :-)
GO BLUE!
