TennZip Posted October 27, 2023 Report Posted October 27, 2023 https://gozips.com/news/2023/10/27/mens-soccer-big-east-championship-seeding-on-the-line-as-no-10-akron-battles-butler lots of info in press release....that I normally don't see....rankings for shots per game, corner kicks per game, shots on goal per contest, etal..... FINAL SEEDING ON THE LINE FOR BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP With the final weekend of BIG EAST Conference regular season action on tap on Saturday, Oct. 28, the stage has been set for a tightly contested battle to determine the final seeding for the upcoming BIG EAST Championship, Nov. 4-12. On the strength of a 2-1-4 league mark, Akron has claimed a berth in the tournament. With a victory at Butler on Saturday (Oct. 28), the Zips will be seeded No. 2, 5, 6 or 7 depending on the outcomes of the other five league contests. An Akron victory coupled with a Xavier loss at UConn and a Creighton setback or draw at St. John's will give the Zips the No. 2 tournament seed and an outright Midwest Divisional title. Akron can also share the divisional title and be the No. 6 seed with a win and a Xavier draw and Creighton loss, while a win coupled with a Xavier draw and Creighton victory will secure the No. 7 seed for the Zips and a divisional crown. A triumph by the Zips in other scenarios is expected to result in a No. 5 seed for Akron. 2 Quote
MDZip Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 So the only chance at a home game is a Zips win, Xavier loss and Creighton loss or tie. Both Xavier and Creighton have tough road games so at least it's within the realm of possibility. 3 Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 This camera is worse than Xavier! Quote
TennZip Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Posted October 28, 2023 Awful camera angle nice to see Jackson Herbert healthy and getting some playing time late in the half. 1 Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 It just seems like we can never get anything going when playing on turf Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 Creighton losing at half 2-1 Xavier winning at half 1-0 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 Why do we never have anyone in the box when we cross it?! We cross it to no one 😡 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 8 minutes to go. We’ve gotta score! Yet another tie & I can’t be upset with a first round Big East Tourney road trip. We’re solid but we need to be a more dangerous side. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 Zips take another step toward their apparent goal of tying every team in the Big East. 1 Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 If my math is right, we are the 7 seed and will play at Xavier next week? 3 Quote

fknbuflobo Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 This is not progress! We never finished 7th in the MAC! Quote
TennZip Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Posted October 28, 2023 I was impressed by the play of Jackson Herbert today. Mitch Budler made an outstanding save very late in the game. 4 1 Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 9-1-7 to end the season. No doubt we will see some extra time in the postseason Quote
Reslife4Life Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 Can’t wait to watch another field level camera at Xavier Quote
ZippyRulz Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) we can always hope Xavier overlooks us this time. I don't think they will though. Edited October 29, 2023 by ZippyRulz Quote

No doubt we will see some extra time in the postseason If Zips lose @ Xavier, it would make us a bubble team with RPI in mid 40s. A mediocre finish to the season and 7th place in conference is not a favorable resume for an At Large invitation. Zips best take care of business @ Xavier or the season might be over. 2 Quote
NWAkron Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 What's the ncaa record for ties in one season? Quote
zippy-claws Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 1 hour ago, NWAkron said: What's the ncaa record for ties in one season? 9. And ironically both St. John's and Providence, two BigEast teams share the record. 1 2 Quote

No doubt we will see some extra time in the postseason And yet if we lose at Xavier in the Big East Tournament, with only two losses, we likely won't make the NCAAT. Bring back over time! In the sport as a whole, ties only make sense in a table format in which team plays every other team home and away and there are thirty-eight games to separate the quality of teams. Ties in NCAA soccer are unjust. Edited October 29, 2023 by UAZipster0305 1 3 Quote
