The Big Dance

Appleby never switched his formation. Never pushed two or even three forwards forward. I know you can't curse here, but wow is he a frustrating coach. There's over 35 minutes when West potted that second goal. PUSH THE FORMATION FORWARD!

I watched the W&L/JHU game yesterday. I was amazed with a 20+ mph wind at their back for the full second half and the first period of OT Hopkins never changed how they played. W&L changed styles for the wind, to some degree, and even though they didn't get a goal, I think they played a more correct game for the conditions. Give JHU's goalie credit on the PKs though, and the Hopkins shooters left no doubt in where they placed those shots.

Carleton defending well. 72 mins in and the Maroons are down 1-0, but really starting to generate good looks. I'm not sure the bye's are a big help. It took Tufts a half to get rolling today, then they dominated the second half with what seemed like countless corners and quality scoring chances before finally cashing in. Let's see if the Maroon's can do the same.

1-1 Maroons, beautiful curler by Adeosun I think it was.

[Falconer]

Carleton giving the game away, IMO, by not trying to attack seriously. They just keep dumping and not running.

Chicago makes them pay, tieing it with 11 left. Look in the mirror, Carleton. Just like Amherst vs Rochester last year in the Sweet Sixteen, it was yours to win if you only just played more aggressively on the offensive end.

Beautiful individual goal for Chicago.  Chicago totally in control now.

[Bobcat1]

Great shot by Adeosun and the Maroons are level with Carleton in the 79th minute. Huge goal.

Excellent video quality at F&M but angle is off-putting making field look like it's at a 45 degree tilt...I don't understand how these turf fields can look so different on video....like the Rochester field looks dark and wet/splatchy...

Lots of factors like lighting angles, camera settings, computer/encoding settings, knowledge of the equipment, etc., etc. Also a person's eye on sight is compensating in ways video cameras can not or aren't being allowed to do.

Two phenomenal goals by Chicago to get the win tonight

That freshman Ruark is a real talent. Shame that he wasn't recognized on the all UAA team as I think he is one of the top Freshman in the nation.

Luther and Dominican played and excellent game too.  Luther scoring in the last 2 minutes to take the win. We have a Luther-St. Thomas rematch in the Sweet 16.  Luther won 2-1 earlier in the year which was an even game.

The feed cut out last year too?  That's just unforgivable.

Not MSU, Boxcast in general, apologies for the ambiguity. Last year's issue was Brandeis' Boxcast feed, so while MSU can't be blamed for that, Boxcast resulted in similar frustration for viewers.

It's still pretty lame.  I'd imagine (even though I really have no idea, as I don't do this sort of thing) that there is some sort of procedures manual that describes what a host institution for an NCAA tournament has to do and how to do it.  Since this has happened before, someone should have edited it to say that hosts should enable the manual termination option to avoid inadvertently cutting off the stream prematurely.  What are all of those people doing in that big office building in Indianapolis?

Message received... at either NCAA or Boxcast or MSU.  Tonight's NYU vs MSU  has the stream expiration set for just before midnight.

This MSU-NYU game is very entertaining...but probably not gonna end well...MSU players trash talking directly with NYU fans.. still 1-1...

Really impressed with NYU...

It's worth noting that NYU's head coach is female. I don't know if there are any other female head coaches in college soccer, but it makes their team's story even more special in my eyes. I hope other programs follow suit.

[PaulNewman]

Really hard to root for MSU...like going to a premiere of Jersey Shore and a soccer match breaks out...

Also don't like that can't tell how much time left...

[blooter442]

What a save by the NYU goalkeeper off the free kick. Tipped it onto the bar.
