True...but back in 70s St. John's was probably Cuse's biggest rival.
Colgate 170 all time meetings - 125 wins 45 losses
Cornell 123 all time meetings - 92 wins 31 losses
Pitt 113 all time meetings - 68 wins 45 losses
Penn State 105 all time meetings - 62 wins 43 losses
UConn 94 all time meetings - 56 wins - 38 losses
Georgetown 93 all time meetings - 50 wins - 43 losses
St. Johns 91 all time meetings - 51 wins - 40 losses
Niagara 81 all time meetings - 53 wins - 28 losses
Boston College 73 all time meetings 47 wins - 26 losses
Villanova 72 all time meetings 39 wins - 33 losses
Canisius 70 all time meetings 46 wins - 24 losses
Seton Hall 64 all time meetings - 53 wins - 11 losses
Rochester 64 all time meetings - 53 wins - 11 losses
Providence 58 all time meetings - 48 wins 10 losses
Notre Dame 49 all time meetings 29 wins - 20 losses
By and large Georgetown, St. Johns and Nova are our best rivalries. Both a high number of games played and relatively evenly matched over the years. UConn and Pitt may fall into the next tier as the win loss differential is nearly 20 games in each case.
Seton Hall and Providence were absolutely one-sided for most of the history of the matchup.
Biggest surprise for me was that we have played Penn State more than 100 times over the years. Especially when you consider that 95% of those matchups must have occurred prior to 1980.
