Sunday's NCAA Tournament selection show offered a bit of an anticlimactic reaction from the Barber Room in Boston College's Yawkey Center. The room is normally reserved for bigger moments and larger media crowds, but the visual reaction of the Eagles' men's ice hockey team felt almost tepid towards the confirmation of the team's No. 1 overall seed in the national tournament.
BC looked like a team that expected to hear its name land in Providence, Rhode Island against the 16th-best qualifier, and nothing much changed with the Eagles' win over Boston University in the previous night's Hockey East championship.
