A new wrinkle to BU home games tonight: a variety of "fun" facts on the scoreboard, most of which were not that fun. Examples and improvements:

1. First fact: BU and Maine have played to overtime in 17 of their last 97 meetings. Care to guess how many times BU and Maine have played overall?

Better fact: BU is 1-0-8 in overtime against Maine since their last OT loss to the Black Bears in the 1994-95 season.

2. Second fact: 24 players on this year's team have at least one assist. Considering the team as a whole had 171 assists, it shouldn't be surprising that so many people have at least one.

Better fact: BU has 13 players in double digits in points.

3. Third fact: BU went into tonight with a 6-0-1 run against Maine, including a sweep last weekend. Only problem is that last weekend BU played Lowell. We're pretty sure they meant last year's weekend sweep up at Alfond.

Better fact: this one, only less poorly written.
