1) Who was the coach of the BU men’s basketball team before Patrick
Chambers took over last season?
2) How many NCAA championships has BU won in men’s hockey?
3) Which men’s basketball player went down with an injury earlier
this season and is now out for the rest of his junior campaign? (Hint:
he was a tri-captain.)
4) Which BU netminder got his first shutout of the season Saturday
night in a 1-0 win over Providence College?
5) What is the highest the women’s ice hockey team been ranked this season?
Answers:
1) Saba: Dennis Wolff because I asked the audience (a room full of editors)
and 50 percent (I’m guessing Editor-in-Chief Josh Cain and Sports
Editor Annie Maroon were those two people). Although, Farid Hamedy (my
dad) was a close choice for second pick (holla at Chelsea Feinstein).
Sam: You are correct, madam! Wolff coached the team for 15 years and led the team to two NCAA tournament berths before being canned in the summer of 2009. Chambers has coached the team now for two seasons and has a chance to lead the Terriers to their second straight America East championship game in March.
You’re 1-for-1, Saba. Have to say I’m impressed (even though it took some help from your friends).
