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!
