After Friday’s loss to Boston University, we’ve revised the possible finishing positions and available scenarios for the end of the year.

It’s another important weekend for Northeastern sports, and we’re here to break it all down for you. join us this afternoon, and give us your thoughts on the weekend’s games, whether you’re in Boston or Richmond.

All that and more on the Spring Break edition of the Dog Pound Sports Sound - the action starts at 3:00pm on air and online.
A whole lot of screaming about an important Northeastern/BU weekend series, and that’s just one part of what promises to be a thrilling weekend in Hockey East. WTBU’s Tristan Hobbes and the Huntington News’ Andrew Parente call in to discuss this weekend’s games.
As the Hockey East quarterfinals approach (they’re one week away from this Friday), the Huskies can mathematically finish anywhere between fourth and ninth in the standings. At extreme ends of the spectrum are home ice and missing the playoffs, and somewhere in the middle lies the Huskies’ most probable outcome.
At the very least, Northeastern needs either two points or a single UMass loss to be guaranteed a playoff spot. From there, the Huskies’ final seeding is as much determined by their own play as it is by the rest of the conference - the logjam from fourth to ninth has created many seeding scenarios.
We talk with WUNH’s Nate Bridges about the upcoming Northeastern-UNH series, look at some of the great olympic sports in progress in Vancouver, and tell you why ESPNU is bad for Hockey East.
