Just ask them in a few years when BU will be struggling with them for the top
Mass. recruits! Keep in mind that this is their first year in a Div. I
conference. UMass has a large ca. 8500 seat arena with a olympic sized ice
with state of the art facilities. Never mind the adjoining olympic sized
practice rink!! BU has Walter Brown Arena. I happen to really like WBA,
but realistically it can not compare to UMass' Mullins Center. The Mullins
Center will be a big recruiting tool for UMass, and the same may be true for
the new OSU arena. I just hope the BU administration pushes through the
plans for the new BU arena!
