Even if the series was 9-9 the bottom line is that anything that close is not acceptable. We are 'cuse and they are nova. We are supposed to be positioned way above them. It's all about the comparative perception of the programs. If we had let's say a 10-5 record against Binghamton over the last 15 years that would NOT be acceptable. If Binghamton were to have this imaginary 5-10 record against us, anyone can easily say they own us even though they only won 33% of the time. Numbers themselves are meaningless without context. Bottom line is most of the time Nova had way less talent than 'Cuse and still managed to win.

8-11 against a non-BCS school is pretty bad overall. I attribute it to Jay Wright winning a lot of the time with inferior talent due to his ability to coach against the zone well. Obviously this year they also have excellent talent so it will be extra tough.

Most coaches don't know how to coach against the zone (hello Indy) and so it's a non-issue. Nova and Pitt is always a grind though.
