There are lots of factors in the pairwise that determines your pairwise ranking. An ot win tonight goes in the win column which helps. 

It is not a win in the traditional sense. A regulation win would have been much more helpful in the Pairwise.  You get credit for 2/3 win and 1/3 loss.

Is a non conference road tie close to a win in the pairwise?

Home/Road weighting: For purposes of calculating a final RPI, games are weighted based upon whether they are home or road games. Road wins and home losses are weighted by a factor of 1.2, while home wins and road losses are weighted by 0.8. 
 

FWIW: RPI is by far the main driver of the Pairwise.

You're missing the point.... records against common opponents, head-to-head competition, and the RPI. If this ot win goes down in the win column then yes it helps. Yes it's not a full win for RPI but all those 3 things are used to determine which teams win the comparison against each other.

And yet, you all overlook the factor of which team has the better jerseys.  On the road.   Against NC opponents.

I understand your point but It is almost meaningless in the big picture. Not completely but pretty close. The difference between a regulation win and an OT win is far greater than any minimum benefit from counting the OT win as a win on your record. Usually the Pairwise mimics the RPI with some minor flipping because of head to head. 

I find it hard to get too excited about the OT win when we should have won in regulation. It is better than losing in OT.

Good result for a good effort.  Still coughing up the puck in our own zone too much, but the support to move the puck up ice was solid tonight.  

BU is as-advertised.  Highly skilled upfront, but they aren't exactly great defensively.  Their GT had a big weekend.

Until the very last play, I was thinking "Blake has sure been quiet".

Did you miss his gorgeous pass to O Mac??
