Mike and Ian begin this week's show talking about the playoff status for Merrimack men's basketball and men's hockey. Later in the show, Merrimack hockey coach Scott Borek talks about Merrimack's bye week and previews a series against Providence.

NOTE: There is about a 6-second portion of the interview with Borek that cut off. In that bit we missed, he said that Matt Copponi, Zachary Borgiel, and Alex Jefferies will be out this weekend against Providence but there was hope they'd all be ready to return against BC to finish up the regular season on March 9.

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.
