Storyline: BC and Harvard face off in the Beanpot's first game, and arguably the biggest possible Beanpot matchup. Harvard and BC enter the tournament 5th and 6th in the Pairwise respectively and will look to stake their claim at a top 5 ranking with a win tonight. Last year, BC rallied to top Harvard in overtime in the Beanpot consolation game, a game that was responsible for BC's at large berth in the NCAA tournament.
