With the long week between games and the assorted building availabilities, they’ll actually be taking Wednesday off this week. Which, with the reason for one of those buildings being unavailable (Friday: Union-Vermont, 2; Quinnipiac-Providence, 5:30), means tomorrow’s the last day we’re likely to actually see them until Sunday. We’ll keep tabs from afar as best we can.
