Harvard will play Quinnipiac in the ECAC Semifinal on Friday. They split their season series this year, with each team winning at home.

BU will take on their cross-town rivals, Boston College in the Hockey East semifinal. BU won all three games against BC this season (2 conference games plus 1 at the Beanpot).

Right now, BC is 16th in the Pairwise rankings that determine who gets invited to the NCAA tournament. With only 16 invites, plus guaranteed invites for Conference winners, 16th won't likely be enough for BC to get in. Since 1998, there have only been two years (2002 and 2009) where BC failed to get an invite to the NCAA tournament. I'm sure BU would like nothing more than to end BC's season.
