2016 NCAA Tournament

Number 8 got a red in the second half. He was playing center mid. Got pulled down from behind. Already on a yellow and got up and half volleyed the ball into a Haverford player (hit him square in the back I think).

I left shortly after that cause the quality of the game wasn't great. Too many fouls. Too much out of control stuff from UMass Boston.

It's actually a shame they advanced. With the way they behaved they deserved for their season to end today.

Sour grapes...Can't blame the whole team on 2 stupid players doing stupid things....Haverford MISSED A PK AND 2 SITTERS to put the thing away 2nd Half and DID NOT...It was Haverfords game and they blew it themselves...

Nothing "Sour Grapes" about his post. Glad to hear you like your American football on a Sunday. The coach can and should control the Stupid things TWO of his players did.

The announcers mentioned him potentially head butting the referee. Anyone else see that or announcers just saying random stuff?

I did see the whole game, and the UMB player headbutted the ref AFTER first throwing a FORD player to the ground.  The game was awful, after the FORDS score.  UMB just totally lost control - not just the two players who received straight reds - but the entire squad.  The refs actually requested security from Haverford, and called for the 10 minute cool off period.

But I also agree that the Fords should have beaten UMB as they were 2 men down during the 2 OT's.  But most of that game wasn't futbol, it was mayhem.  UMB shouldn't advance on conduct like that.

How many teams had to play two ranked teams back-to-back in the first and second rounds? Some teams have a substantially easier path to the Sweet 16 than others.

Give me a Break....UMASS Boston conduct was nothing different than you would see on an Amherst bench and those kids are "privileged"...Again SOUR GRAPES...I am not a UMB parent or fan just a neutral and yes they were chippy but the game was a great game 1st Half as both teams kept the ball on the floor..Nothing American Football about it...UMASS Boston kids are good kids just get heated within the moment they were not brought up with silver spoons in their mouths...Haverford had a 11 v 9 advantage for 20 minutes, they had the last 15 minutes of the game whenUMB was pushing numbers forward missed 2 SITTERS an then a kid got a PK in the 2nd Half and shanked it off the outer post. Again, They blew it themselves....

Their player headbutted a referee. Have you seen that from Amherst?  Again you keep talking about Haverford blowing it. That's not really what any of us are discussing?

[luckylefty]

Also one more thing. I have no idea why you keep mentioning sour grapes. I am not a Haverford fan. I feel like your not following the conversation or having some other comprehension issue here.

[Mr.Right]

Ok Im done..Bottom line...UMB advances and Haverford season is over...That is all that will be remembered..Can we please move on to Messiah v CNU and Tufts v Rowan...

Yes we saw a Thomas player last year Tre Ming headbutt a ref in the NCAA's at Brandeis..So yes we just saw it last year...

Really, really proud of Kenyon for pulling through against a very solid, very physical team that was 17-1-4 and undefeated on its home field.  Lynchburg was right up to the edge of dirty.  Must have been told to hit Kenyon hard on every challenge.  Kenyon was better team but Lynchburg easily could have won.  #13 for the Hornets is an excellent players...their smallest player but a real pest.  Clougher had to make tough save late.  Brown took a chance not bringing regulars in last 10 minutes but paid off iin OT as Lynchburg could not get out of own end. 

Myers has got to be a 1st team AA and maybe Lowry too.  Excellent centerbacks and Resnekov has started playing really well at left back.  If Kenyon gets Trinity next I think some will be surprised at how well the Lords play against them.  And if Tufts beats Rowan maybe Trinity and Kenyon will be coming to Massachusetts!

You mentioned it being something Amherst does every game. Then when asked if thy have headbutted a ref you mentioned Thomas? Again, your struggling in comprehension here.

[Mr.Right]

-k for starting to rile me up....Who said UMB does that every game? You are ASSUMING things.That was the 1st time you watched UMB all season..One game does not equal every game..-k today for riling me up, -k tomorrow for comprehension statements and a possible yellow for insubordination

Sorry, had to.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

Haverford looks to be graduating a fair bit. For those who have seen them more then I, do they have the pieces on their bench? I've never seen anyone hit restarts like Corkery. Going to be almost impossible to replace that.

[Mr.Right]

Tufts up 1-0 on Rowan in a game they look very confident in. Rowan looks a bit hesitant so far. Pretty even game but maybe after the goal Rowan will settle down and start attacking and getting more dangerous chances

[PaulNewman]

Mr.Right, if Tufts wins do you think Tufts will host with two Boston area teams and Trinity/Kenyon?
