BGSU Hockey Alums Pay for Student Playoff Tickets
HUGE NEWS: @BGFalconHockey alums Rob Blake and Nelson Emerson are paying for all student tickets to WCHA Tourney this weekend!
— BGSU Athletics (@BGathletics) March 10, 2016
This is a really awesome and generous move. Bowling Green has a very good hockey following and some very devoted student fans, but it is Spring Break on the BGSU campus. Hopefully, this will help draw students back to school early and bring in big crowds as the Falcons host a WCHA playoff series for the third straight year.

This is good news for the Minutemen as they lost both of their only reliable big man in Maxie Esho and Cady Lalanne last season. At 6-8 Space should come in right away and compete for the starting forward spot. He's a graduate transfer so he only has one year of eligibility. Last year in College Station he only played 12 minutes per game after averaging 23 the year before. He averaged 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 2014-2015.

UMass Basketball to retire a jersey for John Calipari according to Marc Bertrand
UMass will announce in the coming days that they are retiring a jersey for @UKCoachCalipari. A nice way to honor a UMass legend.
— Marc Bertrand (@Marc_Bertrand) March 3, 2015
There has not been an official announcement from the school yet but Bertrand is a pretty good source. The final home game on Wednesday it seems as this will take place next year. The twitter-sphere has had a field day with the vacated wins connection which is fair. However, to not think Calipari is considered a UMass legend is a poor opinion. Vacated wins or not he put UMass on the map basketball wise and got people talking about a forgotten program.
