Buckeyes with a shot at #1, having clinched the double. Does IU get a seed and at least 1 home game?
NCAA draw Monday 1:00
- Thread starter GeddyHoosier
- Start date
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.
I think OSU gets two home games. They didn’t struggle much early in the season.
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.

RPI was around 19-at least as of yesterday.
I just learned the Evansville Aces won the Missouri Valley tournament, so I wouldn't be surprised to them in the "IU pod." They like to group teams geographically.
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.

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 wasn’t expecting the 1st round bye, personally… but won’t give it back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

"It's keeping that winning mentality so that the next team has that DNA within them."
Yes. Lot of St Louis back in the day at a lot places. Always ran into talent from St Louis
Looks like we’re playing Akron. They win 1-0 over Princeton.
Akron had 27 shots and 11 sog, vs. 2/0 for Princeton. I'm sure Princeton played for the scoreless tie and end of game PK's. Let's hope their defense will be rusty and we break through a few times.
Pretty good day for the Big Ten: 3-1

Most casual soccer fans would never guess they are the only program with more stars (10) than IU (8). Of course, those all came decades ago. Last one in 1973.
No one other than casual fans know that. We never played them but ran into them across the soccer world. They liked to remind us of that. Of course when I played we didn't have 8 yet. I am a year older than Todd
Did you play in that game at Evansville in '90 during the NCAA round of 8? The Aces won 1-0 to advance to the Final Four (later the College Cup). I'll never forgot the atmosphere at that game-incredible. I started at IU in '93.
I didn't nor the St. Louis game in prior round. I was a walk on and a freshman so come tournament time ... Chad Deering had a phenomenal tourney that year. He was the best player I ever played with...,
UCLA and cobi jones I think won it that year I recall
Evansville lost to Alexi Lalas and Rutgers in the semis 1-0. It was a tough loss as the goal was "against the run of the play." Rutgers then did lose to UCLA in the finals.
Deering was a great one no doubt. So you played with 3 World Cup guys in your career? Deering, Sommer, and Maissonueve?
