If Providence should happen to win the BET (shudder), the Big East would likely get five teams into the NCAA tournament (Seton Hall has an RPI of 16). I would be fine with four and an Akron tournament championship.
I imagine Evan Mahaffey’s experience playing against Purdue and occasionally at their place will be helpful for our locker room. And to a lesser degree Hardman’s experience.
I will endeavor to update this as I or others learn / post the status of our Zips in the Pros for 2026.

Minnesota United FC - Wil Trapp
Real Salt Lake - DeAndre Yedlin

I believe that Will had to play a certain number of games in 2025...for his contract to be picked up for 2026. He played in more games than needed....so Wil be part of Minnesota United for 2026

Now that Kent has a pulse, this will be a tough game. I've lost all hope that Finley will complete 65%, but at least I hope for no stupid mistakes. I think the D will continue to shine, and the O will score just enough.
