Comm. Ave Craziness

March marks one of the most exciting events in college athletics – March Madness. While ACC, Atlantic 10 and Big East schools battle it out for spots in the NCAA basketball tournament, Boston University will be taking part in its own championship tournaments. With an abundance of athletic events occurring on campus, this weekend will be a Terrier sports-lover’s dream. The BU men’s hockey, men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams will be facing-off and tipping-off at Agganis Arena and at the Case Center for a chance at conference titles.
 
Terrier sports fans will start off the weekend Thursday evening at Agganis Arena to cheer on the #3 Hockey East men’s hockey team during the first quarterfinal game of the Hockey East tournament against the #5 Northeastern Huskies. The second game will be held Friday evening and if necessary, a third game will be played on Sunday.

On Saturday March 12, both basketball programs will host the America East Championship games. After beating #7 New Hampshire and #6 Hartford in the quarterfinals and semifinals, the #2 men’s team will host #5 Stony Brook at noon at Agganis Arena. The #2 women’s team will then host #4 Hartford at Case Gym for a chance at the America East Championship at 7pm.
 
Attending BU Athletic events has been one of my favorite social activities on campus. Although I haven’t witnessed March Madness appearances during my fours years at BU, I have been fortunate enough to be part of some great moments in BU Athletic history. One of these great memories was witnessing the 2009 men’s hockey team win the National Championship. A championship parade complete with duck boats was a great way for the student body to celebrate this victory.
 
While my cheering legacy ends, new Terriers can feel confident to get ready to celebrate future wins. There is strong potential for both the BU hockey and basketball programs. With only one senior graduating, students are sure to see some great hockey victories from the rising seniors and the rest of the squad. The addition of basketball head coach Pat Chambers has put the men’s basketball program on the road to success and sports fans are sure to see great things from this team in the near future.

My spring break will be off to a busy start as I put on my BU gear and cheer for the Terriers throughout the weekend. And hopefully I will get the opportunity to experience a few more title championships before graduating!
