Two truisms about the Beanpot have pretty much been thrown out the window in the past decade:
- Throw out the records in a two-week, single-elimination tournament; and
- BU will usually win.
Boston College has reversed BU’s stranglehold on the tournament, and carries in to tonight’s matchup a remarkable 10 year streak in which they have not lost to the Terriers in Beanpot play.
With three teams heading in to tonight’s first round of the Beanpot ranked in the top 7, the battle for Boston supremacy takes on added national significance.
