NCAA men’s hockey tournament bubble; how to watch Beanpot final
While the biggest prize in college hockey clearly is the national championship trophy, in one corner of the sport’s landscape, that accolade has a rival: the Beanpot.
The 72nd tournament, which features Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern and Harvard, concludes Monday at TD Garden with BC facing BU in the championship game (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+).
Both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the country (BC is No. 1, BU is No. 8 in the most recent polls), but even in years when the Beanpot doesn’t have national implications of that magnitude, the energy, desire and hatred boil over for the schools and their fans.
This year’s final has a different twist, however. Nine of the players — six from BC, three from BU — were teammates at the IIHF World Junior Championship, where they won the gold medal for Team USA in January. At least one member of the Eagles or Terriers scored or assisted on all but one of the 37 goals the U.S. scored in the tournament.
Any friendships will be on hold Monday night.
“It’s just understanding that you can’t have any friends out there,” BC freshman James Hagens told the Boston Globe last month. “You might play with them for a while. They might be your best buddies, but you just have to understand it’s a hockey game, and you have to go out there and win.”
BU’s Cole Eiserman expressed similar sentiments. “You battle with those guys, get close to those guys, but I think we’re all competitive guys,” he told the Globe. “We want to win for our own school.”
The teams met in a home-and-home series in January, with BC sweeping by scores of 6-2 and 2-0. But BU will gladly accept those results in exchange for a trophy-lifting win Monday night. The Terriers last won the Beanpot in 2022, while BC’s most recent championship was in 2016. Northeastern has won five of the last six tournaments.
While Monday’s game will not count in the Hockey East standings, conference races are heating up around the country as the selection of the NCAA tournament field nears.
The NCAA field includes the winners of the six conference tournaments — Atlantic, Big Ten, CCHA, ECAC, Hockey East and NCHC — and 10 at-large teams based on the PairWise rankings.
Conference tournament championship games are scheduled for March 22, with the NCAA tournament selections to be announced March 23. Regionals will be held March 27-30, with the Frozen Four on April 10 and 12 in St. Louis. Every NCAA tournament game, including the selection show, will be on ESPN networks and streamed on ESPN+.
Here’s a look at where the NCAA field stands, with teams listed in order of the PairWise rankings as of Feb. 9.

One-bid league champs
It’s looking more and more likely we’ll have three one-bid leagues — the ECAC, CCHA and Atlantic. Quinnipiac and Minnesota State are on the fringes of the at-large bubble, but if they fail to win their conference tournaments, the losses along the way seem likely to dash their at-large hopes.
Quinnipiac leads a tight ECAC race, with the top five teams within five points of each other, while Minnesota State has a solid hold on first place in the CCHA. So we’re penciling the Bobcats and Mavericks in the NCAA field for now.
In the Atlantic, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross and Bentley are within one point of each other in the league standings — although Holy Cross and Bentley have played two fewer games than Sacred Heart — and are bunched together in the PairWise. We gave the nod to the Crusaders, who are one spot ahead of Bentley in the PairWise, but as with the other three leagues in this group, it will all come down to the conference tournament.
QuinnipiacRecord: 17-9-2, 11-4-1 ECAC (No. 15 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Beat St. Lawrence 6-1; lost to Clarkson 3-2 (OT)
Key games: Feb. 14 at Union; Feb. 28 at Clarkson
Minnesota StateRecord: 20-8-2, 15-5-2 CCHA (No. 17 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Beat Augustana 4-1 and 2-1
Key games: Feb. 21-22 at Lake Superior State
Holy CrossRecord: 17-11-2, 16-4-2 Atlantic (No. 30 in PairWise)
Last week’s results: Won at RIT 9-2 and 3-0
Key games: Feb. 20 vs. Bentley; Feb. 24 vs. AIC
On the bubble
Assuming there will be three conference champions outside of the top 16 in PairWise, teams below No. 13 will be out of luck in terms of grabbing an at-large NCAA bid. But the standings in this range are very tight, with positions changing with almost every result. These teams will have opportunities for key wins to gain critical PairWise capital, but the margin for error is slim.
No. 14 UMassRecord: 15-11-2, 6-8-2 Hockey East
Last week’s results: Won at UConn 5-4
Key games: Feb. 14-15 home-and-home vs. BC; Feb. 27-March 1 home-and-home vs. UMass-Lowell

#NCAA #mens #hockey #tournament #bubble #watch #Beanpot #finalLazio Closing in on Final Agreement With Hellas Verona for Reda Belahyane
Lazio are reportedly on the cusp of sealing an accord with Hellas Verona for the transfer of Reda Belahyane.
Futile Casadei Chase
The 20-year-old was one of the first names on the club’s January shortlist, but the track cooled down when Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani decided to vigorously chase Cesare Casadei in previous weeks, only for the latter to complete a transfer from Chelsea to Torino who prevailed in the gruelling soap opera.
Reda Belahyane Edging Closer to Lazio
Therefore, Lazio have decided to revive their attempts to sign Belahyane. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the two clubs are close to striking a full accord which would see the French Morrocan complete a deadline-day switch on Monday. On the other hand, the Sky Sport Italia correspondent also denies the rumors linking the Aquile to Empoli’s Jacopo Fazzini.
The Competitors
For his part, fellow journalist Alfredo Pedulla adds that Belahyane is on his way out of Verona even though his transfer to Stade Rennais collapsed following the sacking of Jorge Sampaoli. The transfer market expert reveals that the young deep-lying playmaker is followed by Marseille and Fiorentina, but Lazio could pounce on their excellent rapport with the Gialloblu to seal the deal.
Toma Basic to Sassuolo
Pedulla expects the potential operation to cost the Biancocelesti around €12-13 million. He also reveals that Lazio are close to offloading their outcasted midfielder Toma Basic, as they’re currently engaged in advanced negotiations with Sassuolo.
According to reports, Lazio is close to finalizing a deal with Hellas Verona for the transfer of Reda Belahyane. The midfielder has been on the radar of Lazio for some time now, and it seems that a deal is finally within reach.Belahyane has been impressive in his performances for Verona this season, catching the eye of several top clubs in Italy. Lazio has been in talks with Verona for weeks now, and it appears that they are close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of the talented midfielder.
The final details of the deal are still being ironed out, but it is expected that Belahyane will soon be a Lazio player. The move would be a significant boost for Lazio, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Fans of both clubs will be eager to see how Belahyane performs in his new surroundings, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to life at Lazio. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing transfer saga.

Final Destination is back for more elaborate death traps.
On Monday, Feb. 3, Warner Bros. Pictures debuted the first teaser trailer for Final Destination Bloodlines, showing a tattoo artist inking himself a “Dad” tribute on his arm — before being hung by his nose ring on a ceiling fan and burned.
The franchise, famous for its over-the-top fatal scenarios constructed like chain-reaction Rube Goldberg machines, is making its comeback after the fifth installment arrived in 2011. The first film, released in 2000, starred Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Seann William Scott and Tony Todd.
A synopsis for Bloodlines says this entry “takes audiences back to the very beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice.”

“Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all,” the logline teases.
The cast includes Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger and Todd, who died in November 2024 at age 69.
Final Destination Bloodlines is in theaters May 16.
Final Destination Bloodlines Trailer Teases Death by Nose RingThe highly anticipated trailer for the latest installment in the Final Destination franchise, Bloodlines, has just been released and it’s already sending chills down viewers’ spines. The trailer opens with a group of friends embarking on a seemingly innocent road trip, only to be plagued by a series of eerie premonitions of their impending deaths.
One particularly gruesome scene shows a young woman getting her nose pierced, only for the piercing to become a deadly weapon when a mysterious force causes it to rip through her face, ultimately leading to her demise. The trailer is filled with other harrowing glimpses of death scenes, each more terrifying than the last.
Fans of the franchise can expect the same heart-stopping thrills and nail-biting suspense that they’ve come to love, as Bloodlines promises to deliver a fresh take on the classic Final Destination formula. With death lurking around every corner, it’s only a matter of time before the characters’ fates are sealed.
Final Destination Bloodlines is set to hit theaters later this year, so be sure to brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride of terror and mayhem. Don’t say we didn’t warn you – death is coming for you, and it’s not afraid to get creative.

#Final #Destination #Bloodlines #Trailer #Teases #Death #Nose #Ring‘Final Destination 6’ Plot Details Revealed Ahead of Trailer with Prequel Details
The Final Destination franchise has had some ups and downs, and after several sequels of diminishing returns, it looks like the new movie, Final Destination: Bloodlines
, will be taking things in a new direction – as a prequel movie partly set in the 1960s. The movie, which is the second horror franchise to use the Bloodlines subtitle after 2024’s Pet Sematary prequel, is preparing to release its first trailer, which makes sense considering the film’s planned release date of May 16, 2025.An official synopsis of the new movie (via Feature First) suggests a dual timeline story, which could end up having several ties to the original Final Destination movie. The description reads:
“In the 1960s, a grandmother predicts the collapse of a building and saves a group of people from death. Decades later, her granddaughter also begins to have visions of the death of her family members and later begins to realize that there is a sequence.”
Final Destination: Bloodlines comes from director’s Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky, and stars Brec Bassinger, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, and Richard Harmon, as well as a posthumous appearance by the late Tony Todd returning as creepy mortician William Bludworth. The mix of dual period settings of the 1960s and, presumably the 1980s or 1990s, and the appearance by Todd’s character, is certainly intriguing and something that could help revive the franchise after several lackluster releases.
Can the ‘Final Destination’ Franchise Really Deliver Anything New?
Like many movie franchises built on a single premise of characters dying one by one, after a couple of run outs, it is hard to do anything new with the property other than rinse and repeat several increasingly elaborate death scenes. However, when the death scenes begin to defy all logic, and almost become eye-rolling moments that go beyond incredulous, then the horror and suspense is abandoned in favor of some kind of “death porn” spectacle.
The multigenerational storyline of Final Destination: Bloodlines does seem to be attempting to bring something new to the party, and with a mostly new cast, and coming 14 years after Final Destination 5, the movie can target an audience that was not the right age to see the original saga.

15 Things Final Destination Has Made People Scared Of
The Final destination franchise is responsible for inducing quite a few phobias. Here are 15 of the worst ways to go as imagined by the films.
Of course, it does not take a synopsis to work out that there will be many people dying in some intriguing and brutal ways. However, Final Destination: Bloodlines could face some unexpected competition from Osgood Perkins’ Stephen King adaptation, The Monkey, which reportedly includes some crazy and gory death scenes that have found the film struggling to put together a TV spot that is acceptable to distributors.
Either way, there is not too long to wait until Final Destination: Bloodlines attempts to capture an early summer box office win. If the film is a success, then it is pretty certain that the franchise will become yet another long-dormant IP that is being brought back to life after more than a decade. If it becomes a theatrical dud, there will be a deathly shadow lurking to take it away to a free streaming graveyard soon afterwards.
After years of speculation and anticipation, fans of the Final Destination franchise can finally rejoice as plot details for Final Destination 6 have been revealed ahead of the trailer release. Not only that, but there are also details about a potential prequel in the works.In Final Destination 6, we follow a group of young adults who narrowly escape a catastrophic disaster only to realize that death is still coming for them. As they try to outsmart death’s design, they uncover a sinister conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything they thought they knew about their own fate.
But that’s not all – rumors are circulating about a potential prequel that delves into the origins of the infamous “death design” and how it all began. Could we finally learn the true origins of the curse that haunts these unsuspecting victims?
Stay tuned for the trailer release and more updates on Final Destination 6 and the potential prequel as we await the next chapter in this thrilling and suspenseful franchise. Get ready to cheat death once again.

#Final #Destination #Bloodlines #Trailer #Poster #Death #Runs #FamilyStar high school wrestler Bo Bassett will make college choice Tuesday night; Penn State among final 4
Pennsylvania’s most sought-after wrestling recruit since Spencer Lee in 2016 will make his college choice on Tuesday night.
Bishop McCort star wrestler Bo Bassett will announce his selection from among Penn State, Oklahoma State, Iowa and Virginia Tech after the Crushers face either Corry or McGuffey in the quarterfinal round of the PIAA Team Wrestling Championships at the Johnstown-based school.
The Corry-McGuffey match begins at 5 p.m. and that winner faces McCort at 7. Bassett’s announcement will be streamed live on Flowrestling. There is no official starting time but the 8:30-9 p.m. range is likely safe.
Bassett said Monday morning on Flo Radio Live that this is a huge week for him, with his college choice and the likelihood that McCort, ranked No. 2 nationally, will face No. 1-ranked Faith Christian in the PIAA team finals at Altoona Area High School on Saturday.
Bassett, who is 109-0 in his career, is a junior who won a PIAA individual crown last season as a sophomore. McCort was not eligible for PIAA events during Bassett’s freshman season. He’ll be a heavy favorite to win three PIAA titles prior to entering the college ranks. Bassett, who turned 18 in January, will be 19 years and nine months old when he enters college during the fall of 2026.
“The recruiting process has been incredible,” Bassett said on the live Flo show. “I’ve loved every second of it. It’s been more challenging than I thought it would ever be, but it was fun. It was something I’ve worked for my whole life.
“As far as the season, I’ve got a lot of big things coming up, and I want to focus more on training right and kind of be set in stone with where I’m going to go all in on that place, and then go all in on my training as well, rather than having to balance them all.”
Bassett ruled out Rutgers, Michigan and Ohio State with his final four announcement on Monday. He took visits to each of the seven schools and he and his family were in attendance for the Penn State-Iowa match, the Penn State-Rutgers match and a recent Oklahoma State match, among many others.
Bassett has competed at a few lineup spots depending on McCort’s needs during a particular match, but he projects at 149 in college, and perhaps a weight higher.
His view on NIL money was interesting, with him saying that he knows wrestling will never compare to college football in terms of financial offers, but that the offers from his four finalists were similar.
“Obviously, NIL is a piece of it. But I’m more focused on the wrestling,” Bassett said. “I want to achieve all my goals and do this and that, but I can tell you that all the offers have been very comparable. I’m just excited to again get this out there and start working.”
Star high school wrestler Bo Bassett, a standout athlete from Western Pennsylvania, has announced that he will be making his college decision on Tuesday night. The highly sought-after recruit has narrowed down his choices to four schools, with Penn State being among the finalists.Bassett, who is a two-time state champion and nationally ranked wrestler, is considered one of the top prospects in the country. His decision has generated a lot of buzz within the wrestling community, as many are eager to see where the talented athlete will choose to continue his athletic and academic career.
Penn State, known for its powerhouse wrestling program and track record of producing top-tier athletes, is seen as a strong contender for Bassett’s commitment. However, the other three schools in the running have also made compelling cases for why he should choose them.
Fans and recruiters alike will be tuning in on Tuesday night to see where Bo Bassett will ultimately decide to take his talents. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting announcement!

Here’s what to expect during the final 28 days of winter
Groundhog Day is this Sunday, when we turn to a groundhog for indications that an early spring might be coming. However, Phil’s record isn’t great with accuracy only about 39% of the time.
As the country enters the final weeks of meteorological winter, very few signs of Old Man Winter exist across a large chunk of the nation, with many wondering if sights of the season will return.
According to the latest climate outlook from NOAA, the answer to that question is a bit complicated, as several atmospheric oscillations, which influence everything from moisture patterns to temperature shifts across the country, are expected to be constantly changing in February.
While the general expectation is for the second month of the year to be warmer than average, with near-normal precipitation in most areas, there are important regional caveats to monitor.
The best chances for warmer weather will be in the southern U.S., while the Pacific Northwest and communities along the US-Canadian border are more likely to see additional rounds of below-average readings.
In terms of precipitation, the Pacific Northwest and Midwest are expected to see above-average accumulations, while Texas and the Southeast are likely to experience drier-than-normal conditions.WHERE ARE TORNADOES MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR IN FEBRUARY?
February temperature and precipitation outlook
With widespread temperatures in the 60s, 70s and even 80s in the forecast, February will start with record warmth, prompting questions about whether the cold air of winter will ever make a return.
Historically, February is the second-coldest month of meteorological winter and has been known to produce significant winter storms, but none are on the horizon in the short and medium term.
While new snowfall certainly remains a possibility, there are some clues to help predict where wintry precipitation is most likely to occur.
Temperature outlook for early February.
For instance, snowfall along the Gulf Coast – such as the rare event seen in places like New Orleans and Pensacola in January – will not repeat itself this year.
The event is considered a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, and the storm track will remain too far north to bring enough Arctic air to the Gulf Coast. However, the region may still experience chilly temperatures, though nothing as extreme as what was seen in late January.
Similarly, the I-95 corridor in the Northeast, which has yet to see a significant snowstorm this winter, is unlikely to experience one in February. Temperature and moisture patterns will likely continue to fluctuate too significantly for any major snow events.
On the other hand, areas in the Rockies and the Pacific Northwest, where colder air is expected and enough moisture will be in place, are more likely to see snowfall from incoming storm systems.
The Midwest could also see precipitation in the form of snow as storm systems clash with enough cold air.
Cities like Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit, as well as interior parts of the Northeast and New England, may experience plowable snowfall in the coming weeks.
Precipitation outlook for first days of February.
HOW ACCURATE ARE PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL’S GROUNDHOG DAY PREDICTIONS?
How will winter go down in the record books?
If winter were to end after the first two months of the 2024-25 season, it would largely be considered average when compared to over 100 years of records.
There are some notable exceptions, with Phoenix on track for its warmest winter on record, as well as several cities in California.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, communities in the mid-Atlantic and the Delmarva Peninsula are experiencing one of the coldest winters on record.
Temperature ranking for first two months of winter 2024-25.
(FOX Weather)
February will play a key role in shaping how the season is remembered.
A warm February would reinforce the trend of increasingly mild winters, while a cold month could leave a lasting impression of Arctic blasts and record-breaking cold.
Meteorological spring will officially begin on March 1 and run through the end of May.
According to NOAA’s latest seasonal outlook, most of the nation is expected to experience a warm spring, with above-average precipitation continuing around the Great Lakes.
As we enter the final stretch of winter, there are still plenty of things to look forward to before spring arrives. Here’s what you can expect during the last 28 days of winter:1. More snowfall: Depending on where you live, snowfall may continue well into March. Be prepared for more snowstorms and icy conditions.
2. Warmer temperatures: Despite the lingering snow, temperatures will gradually start to rise as we approach the end of winter. Days will start to feel longer and sunnier.
