TMR Pod #109: Mike and Ian talk hockey and basketball playoff picture

Mike and Ian break down the playoff picture for Merrimack men's hockey and Merrimack men's basketball.

Hockey topics:

— Is men's hockey out of the home-ice picture?

— The Warriors split a weekend in Vermont.

— Hugo Ollas has started three in a row for the Warriors, is he the starter moving forward?

— More penalty trouble on Saturday night in a loss at Vermont

Basketball topics:

— Merrimack has to win the NEC to make the NCAA Tournament, but if they are able to do that, they're in good shape to potentially avoid the play-in game in "The First Four," which doesn't usually happen to NEC teams.

— What does Merrimack need to clinch the No. 1 seed in the NEC?

— Budd Clark has exploded lately.

Plus, listener questions on playoffs and payouts if men's basketball makes the NCAA Tournament.
