Unforunately, although you might think so,  that is incorrect.  You only
have to go back to 1992 when defending champion BU played Northeastern in
the early (6pm) game and BC played Harvard in the late (9pm) game.  I have
said nothing about the early vs late game scheduling because I have not been
able to find any pattern.
