Amen to both of these tweets

next game is Friday night at Stanford...9 pm eastern time

Lollaville won the conference tourney and they were seeded #4...they exited in their first match

zips...when they hold on for a win.....will be heading to Stanford next weekend Stanford and St. Marys 0-0 after 110 St. Marys dominated game...11 shots on goal to 2 Stanford won on PK's 4-2

4 teams now in the elite 8....and 3 of them are from the big ten Michigan State with another win over a seed...they knocked off #4 Lollaville last weekend and today , they beat #13 Georgetown 1-0 they face the winner of #12 Va. Tech vs. James Madison in the elite 8 Indiana 2 Air Force 0 they face the winner of #7 Notre Dame vs. #10 Virginia Michigan had 2 PK shootouts during their time in the tourney...so the Big Ten is 7-0-2 in the NCAA tourney at this point

#11 seed Maryland and #3 seed Kentucky are the first 2 teams that have advanced to the final 8. #11 seed defeated #6 seed Duke 2-0 #3 seed.....Kentucky won 2-1 over Lipscomb They will face each other next weekend in Lexington for a spot in the final four

https://gozips.com/news/2018/11/24/mens-soccer-zips-square-off-against-top-seeded-wake-forest.aspx 4 minute and 40 second interview with Jared. Chad Welker does a nice job with these interviews. Jared is very nice to give a lot of credit to Brett Draper and Tim Campbell

Wake Forest finally has a news release out on the game https://wakeforestsports.com/news/2018/11/23/mens-soccer-soccer-gameday-no-1-wake-forest-vs-no-16-akron.aspx it is interesting to me to compare ticket prices Wake Forest will charge $8 for NCAA round of 16 Syracuse charged $6 for NCAA round of 32 Akron soccer charged $20 for round of 64 my conclusion - Akron has to charge more....to cover the costs of the disappointing gridiron team that can not pay off the huge costs associated with Infocision stadium.

if you want to root for an underdog on the other side of the draw.....root for Lipscomb they had to travel to Washington...then had to travel to Orlando and oh, by the way...their record was 8-9-1 coming into the NCAA tourney http://www.lipscombsports.com/msoccer/news/2018-19/15547/robinson-advances-bisons-with-overtime-winner-at-9-ucf/

5 pm....next sunday

the seeding committee really needs to take a hard look at their ACC bias... #4 seed Louisville and #5 seed North Carolina both out in round of 32 #6 Duke has not been impressive against Pacific...Duke seems to be always overrated in the tourney...I would like to see Maryland knock them off next week #7 Notre Dame was lucky to get by a very tired Michigan team and Notre Dame gets rewarded by next facing Virginia and the #16 seed from the ACC with a 7-6-2 record....got dusted today.... seeding committee should be closely examined when a top 16 seed ends the season with a .500 record
