Ah, late February, the border between winter and spring.
We have a lot of New England versus New England games on the docket this weekend. Most of those contests also happen to be impactful in the national picture even though they’re not in-conference duels.
The end of February is when many teams slip up. And that’s actually a great time to do so -- better to learn from a mistake this early in the season than coast along with it sticking to you like a vengeful remora.
A reminder that weather can change schedules. Vermont and Brown have already moved their game to Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
