I can not resist.  In the early 70's (perhaps 1972) Cornell split 4 games
with BU and all 4 games were very close affairs.  Cornell won to claim the
Syracuse Invitational and the regular season finale to claim the regular
season ECAC title.  However, BU prevailed in the ECAC and NCAA
championship.  You know what, BU was the best team.  Cornell was awfully
close and both BU and Cornell easily ate up the western team in the NCAA's
but head to head they were extremely well matched.  Even if Cornell had won
3 of 5 instead of 2 of 4 BU won the two that counted the most and they were
the best team and that still sort of hurts.
