I have a thought. As much as I really *don't* like BC (all right, the cat's out of the bag...flame away...), I also don't see where one game, even a tournament game, should cause them to fall so far out of favor. I think the last posted Albany Times poll still had one lunatic voting for them as #1 in the country! As mike said, I think Maine and BC are "way out in front" in the east. The question of BC or Maine, is something else. Even though the record shows 2-1, I think anyone who saw all three games would probably call the series a toss up. All were real nailbiters, and the games were all won by the home team. Of course Maine has beaten Lake *and* Northern Michigan...but I show my colors. I had better stop now. -dug
