Men’s NCAA Tournament

I haven’t watched much men’s college soccer, but caught a stream of MSU v Georgetown today.
My Spartans won 1-0 and will be moving to the round of 8.

But my god, what horrible soccer. It makes the MLS look the Champions League.

I’ve seriously seen 9 year old girls with better touch and tactics.
 
That’s good stuff. Akron has had some big wins in the tournament against ranked teams.
I don’t follow men’s college soccer very close- are they considered one of the best possession teams?

That's what their fans say.

BTW, pass #32 looks suspiciously direct.
 
Nah- That was the set up. Draw the defense inside and slip it wide behind the backline.

Pass #10 was the most important pass of the sequence. Most players try to beat their man there or whip in a cross from that spot.
 
Semi Final matches should be pretty soggy tomorrow. Field should be in better shape for game 1 than game 2, I’d presume.
 
Televised (sorta) on ESPNU. Akron - Mich St at 5PM PST, Indiana - Maryland at 7:30 PM.

If you live in San Diego and have Spectrum cable, ESPNU is channel 370.
