Buckeyes with a shot at #1, having clinched the double. Does IU get a seed and at least 1 home game?
Not sure IU earned a home game with a BTT early exit. I think IU’s patented October run got them a spot on the bracket.Buckeyes with a shot at #1, having clinched the double. Does IU get a seed and at least 1 home game?
I think OSU gets two home games. They didn’t struggle much early in the season.Buckeyes with a shot at #1, having clinched the double. Does IU get a seed and at least 1 home game?
Soccer is usually wide open once the tournament starts. Anybody can get hot and win it-even an unseeded team. If IU gets a seed, probably 15 or 16.I think OSU gets two home games. They didn’t struggle much early in the season.
RPI was around 19-at least as of yesterday.Weren’t they ranked #6 before BTT? I bet they’re a top 10 seed
How do you feel about the brackets? You’re a more tuned in than I am.14th seed. Faces winner of Akron v Princeton.
Soccer is total crap shoot in that anyone can get hot and make a run to the College Cup. If IU can get past Denver (on the road) I like their chances. The committee seems to like the Big Ten much more than last year.How do you feel about the brackets? You’re a more tuned in than I am.

Hopefully, Michigan was the "bad game" and the guys are refocused now and eager to get back on the pitch after a 2 week break. IU historically plays some of their best soccer in Nov/Dec.As a player alum ... getting in is all we need to make a run. Being a higher seed can have a small advantage but not enough to tip the scales. Any given day! We bring coaching and confidence can't teach either of those. I will say have the first round bye does help more than the seed
I thought it was a no-brainer that we'd receive a first round bye, due largely to winning the Big Ten and the end of regular season win streak. Of course, our name helped too.I wasn’t expecting the 1st round bye, personally… but won’t give it back.
Yes they were formidable back then. We scrimmaged against them a couple of times .. off the record so to speak. Always gave us a run.While we wait for Sunday, I'm excited for the Evansville Aces first tournament appearance since 1996. They play at UMass Thursday. If you're too young to remember, UE was a powerhouse in the late 80s/early 90s and a fierce rivalry with IU. Glad they are back after a quarter century of ineptitude.
They had pipelines to England and St. Louis back in those days, but the program went south as both those dried up. They've now got a new pipeline to Spain, which seems to have gotten them back on the map. I'm glad and will be rooting for them.Yes they were formidable back then.
