The first night of the 2016 Beanpot is in the books. For the first time since 2012, we'll have a BC vs. BU final, and for the 24th consecutive season, one of those two teams will lift the trophy. Here's what we learned on night one:
- BC is capable of playing lock down defense against a very good attacking team: In the first period, after BC came out firing, Harvard dominated most of the play 5 on 5. Jimmy Vesey & company were feasting on numerous BC turnovers en route to a 2-1 lead, and BC looked to be behind the eight ball.
