Talk about the definition of a "true" play-in game. 2 teams on a complete freefall, but at least Hartford looks like it still cares, giving BU a scare. It appears the Black Bears have decided to go gently into the night. Sadly, losing to a team with a 14-game losing streak would be an appropriate way for UMaine's season to end. What direction is this program headed? Coach G, where art thou?
