Can anyone get the game?

Let me know if anyone finds a good hotel for Kansas City.

Where is the NSCAA final ranking?

The final D3soccer poll looks pretty good to me.  Maybe OWU, and Stevens, overly punished?  #6 seems a little high for Montclair.  #11 seems very generous for F&M

Side note: nice to see the Duhawk Futbol twitter account commending Messiah on a championship season while mentioning what a classy program they are, as well as seeing Messiah reciprocate the compliment back to Loras. It was only last year where I was hearing stories about the bad blood from the final 4 game so it was cool to see the respect these programs have for one another.

+1

It looks like Rothert played every single player in the R-C match?  That must be a first for a final four game.

2nd goal did not cross the line.

I watched Georgetown live this year on multiple occasions, and I don't think any D3 team would get the ball out of their own half.

Lots of small articles about the Ephs as well as mini-previews of Williams vs. Messiah posted below.  All previews recognize that Messiah is a big favorite.  I think this year's Williams team is actually a bit underrated in terms of how they are playing right NOW because of their record.  It really took awhile to gel with Rashid slow to return to form after the big injury.  The Ephs have been strong in goal and defensively all year, but their offense was worlds better in the post-season than it was during the regular season as Rashid, first-year Mountenot, and Muralles have gelled into a very dynamic attacking trio, and they have benefit from the addition of Conder's tremendous services to help on set pieces.  I actually think the Ephs are playing at a higher level than they were headed into last year's Final Four, when they advanced despite being absolutely dominated by Amherst.  All that being said, neither last year's team (which maybe was not quite as good as its record reflected) nor this year's (which most certainly is much better than its record reflects) is in Messiah's class talent-wise, obviously, so Messiah is right to be heavily favored.  But they should be favored over ANYONE in D3, as reflected by the jaw-dropping statistics noted in Messiah's Final Four preview: http://www.gomessiah.com/news/2013/12/3/MSOC_1203131054.aspx

Go Ephs!

I would favor Loras and R-C over Messiah right now.  Using past results to predict future performance is like driving a car looking in the rear view mirror.

Idaho's statement "We beat up on Wisconsin and Illinois kids every year".  Kinda sounds like he is getting at the whole team from Loras being from Iowa, eh? 

Silly Kickin, taking things so offensively all the time.

We beat up on Minnesota teams too.

That is what it takes to beat Loras...

Bump to prove a point.

Looks like Messiah women and men won't repeat as dual champions but the men are still alive and kicking!

Thank you, I almost forgot. 

The mods should consider creating rules about thread topics.

Is it only me, or do some of these Loras supporters seem a bit bitter about Messiah's success?  Maybe a tinge of jealousy is coming through here?  When I was in Iowa several years ago, one of the locals told me what "IOWA" stood for.  I believe he is right.

Memo to all anti-Messiah fans:  You do not ... I repeat, you do NOT ... need to click on any thread that offends you.  Feel free to bypass and keep your blood pressure down.  Thank you for listening.

Happy turkey day to all!

If you are not envious of Messiah's success, then something is wrong with you... 

But that does not mean their supporters can make pointless threads that will not have any discussion.

And take it easy with the Iowa trolling.  We beat up on the Illinois and Wisconsin kids every year.

Does anyone know if the semifinal matches will have a live feed?   

There is a "watch live" button in the interactive bracket at ncaa.com, if you click on the semifinal matches.
