...national championship banners still swing high above the ice, for example, but down where it counts the Terrier teams just haven't been swinging along, missing out on the playoffs and failing to reach the Beanpot final in each of the last two seasons. Over that time period, Harvard had beaten B.U. three straight (you have to go all the way back to '62-'63 to find the last time that happened), including a 4-3 overtime win in the Arena two years...
