When searching Google for Big East men's soccer tiebreakers, I came across this cool page on the Big East website. You can enter different results and it will show you the seeding and tell you who wins tiebreakers. https://www.bigeast.com/sports/2026/10/8/MSOC_1008263346.aspx According to this, Creighton would win a head-to-head tiebreaker over Akron due to better record against common conference opponents. However, Akron would win the tiebreaker in a three-way tie with Creighton and Xavier. Tiebreakers are explained at the bottom of the page for those who want to read through them.

Does anyone know what time this game actually starts? GoZips.com says 6 pm and so does the tweet below. But ESPN and the Louisiana website say 8 pm (7 CST).

Well, we'll see. I think there's still going to be a spot for him. Same way there's gonna be a spot for MMK.

I just saw that Malcolm was waived by the Falcons on October 22 and has signed with the Panthers' practice squad.

I know he doesn't bring anything on offense but does anyone know how long Halligan will be out? Sometimes these early season games can be won with defense, and he brings plenty in that department.

Also, an important note for context on the standings I posted above...Xavier and UConn play each other on Saturday, so that should help Akron assuming the Zips take care of business against Villanova. And Creighton plays Georgetown (on Friday). So, Akron could be tied for the division lead by the end of Saturday.

No, both were in there. It looked exactly like the original to me?

Here's the seeding as of this morning. The two teams in bold text have played one fewer conference match due to postponements earlier this season. I did not look into tiebreakers for the order of any teams on the same number of points (other than Akron over Xavier since I knew that one 😉)

Yeah, I don't know for sure obviously, but I assume it we had won against Army and Butler, we'd be top 2 or 3 in RPI.

Yep, 4th in strength of schedule according to this. https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/2026/07/akron.html

Zips up from #9 to #6 in the Coaches Poll. https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ Georgetown #2, Creighton #9, Cornell #14, Wake Forest #16, Xavier #17, St Louis is receiving votes...Plus, I know WVU does not count for us, but they're #13. Some very impressive results for the Zips throughout the season based on this poll.

I think rebounding and rim protection might be the only thing we get from them. I don't expect much offense from either.

Yeah, that wasn't good. I should say there are "supposed" to be standards for a ESPN+ broadcast. 😅

I think it's more to do with cost. Although, a lower production level for YouTube would minimize cost. I just know there's significant cost associated with producing a broadcast at the level required for ESPN+. That's why the non D1 games are only broadcast on GoZips.com. Less cost for the lower production quality.

Yeah, I remember parking in random spots on campus where I knew I could avoid a ticket. I didn't have season tickets at the time, so I didn't have a parking pass but didn't want to pay the $10 or whatever it was to park in the deck.
