That's why a team's preseason schedule is so important. The coach has to start thinking about that when they are building their schedule. It can hurt you later. Unfortunately it is the mid major penalty.

That was their rpi on Monday the 31st before they lost. Henderson does the rpi for the NCAA so the links that I posted show adjusted rpi's. $C got knocked down to a #2 seed by losing to UCLA and the Bruins likely played themselves into a #3 seed. Florida might have played themselves into a #1 seed!
Santa Clara also has the Jerry Smith factor going for them...9-6-4 record.
Anyone else with that record wouldn't get the invite...

Hey, glad to see you're back. To recap the Colorado goal Colorado had against UCLA it went something like this, there was nothing "LUCKY" about it.
UCLA turns the ball over in the attacking third with a poor pass down the left side. It's easily intercepted and the counter begins. One pass to Danica Evans who creates a mile of space with a clever dummy fake trap, and then sprints up the field. She alludes the chasing defender by stopping on a dime to set up the next pass. Although UCLA has four white shirts in the area none of them are tight enough to stop the next 4 Colorado passes. Bruder gets the ball and is able to move across the top of the 18, setting up a good look at the frame. No one really pressures her so she takes her time and calmly finishes. The UCLA keeper was 4 yards off her line and had no shot at getting a hand on it. That's what happened. Nothing lucky about it. It was lazy defending.
Hey, they're gonna have their ups and downs. I think UCLA is great, but they weren't great in Boulder. Hopefully they peak at the right time.

So you are saying that Bruder was intending for that shot to go where it did? I'm gonna have to disagree with that one. I also missed the 4 connected passes that you were talking about. Not to mention that they were in a 3 back alignment and the "4th" defender (actually the 3rd) was the holding mid playing centerback. Look I'm not here to defend UCLA. They will be getting a seed and Colorado won't. They will be playing 2 home games and Colorado will be playing on the road and will be a likely one and done. Colorado got lucky and a lot of it had to do with their coaches tactics. The good news is the loss stung and I am pretty sure it will push them to greater heights in the future.

How many time is this he/she going to say "I am not here to defend uch la?"
That is all she does and all she knows, especially where D1 womens soccer is concerned.

I like Pepp's chances. Cal lost 3-0 to St. Mary's this season. Plus, they are 3-3 in the first round of the NCAA tournament going back to 2010:
'15 - Loss vs. LMU 0-1
'14 - Win vs. SDSU 3-2
'13 - Loss vs. Santa Clara 1-2
'12 - Win vs. Pepperdine 1-0
'11 - Draw vs. Santa Clara 1-1 (Cal went on to win in PKs)
'10 - Loss vs. Duke 1-2
Santa Clara will get drubbed by Long Beach State.

The Waves are on a collision course with the Wolfpack in round 2, if both teams can get thru. That'd be alot of fun...Now that my Modelos are gone, I may need to restock. I wonder if tailgating is allowed at these matches?

I've seen both teams play multiple times this year. If Cal is motivated they will beat Pepperdine handily. If they sleepwalk through it then the Waves will win. I'm not sure about he LB State/Santa Clara game. Could go either way. Both teams lose focus for good stretches of games. It's definitely a toss up and could end in PK's.

That would be an interesting matchup. I doubt that it happens though.

Did every team make the tournament that my brethren NG and/or MAP made fun of during the season? Or just most of them? And it is weird that I can't find UW in any of the brackets. I know, I know, it will happen next year . . .
NG/MAP - I'm a Lakers fan. Please crap all over them. I think that'll be a sure sign that the LakeShow make the playoffs this year.

Funny, my DD never choose the school based on how many championships they won. It also doesn't change the fact that my wife and I will only be paying 6K a year which includes books, tuition and boarding for our DD to attend UDub. What is awesome is their football team is ranked #5 could be #4 (tomorrow) in the nation!

Yes, those low income scholarships come in handy for student who's parents who can't afford to send their kids to college. Congrats

I gotta assume you are replying to one of my blocked people. UDub is an awesome school and they have a kick ass athletic department. Browning and company are legit. It's funny how they are getting screwed with right now. No worries though. An undefeated Pac 12 team will get their due respect eventually.

Nice try, but 100% wrong. My DD committed in early Dec of HS sophomore year and was UDub's 1st commit for her class.
Got to love the HATERS!

For the record, your post doesn't apply to my family, so it didn't insult me. But, DAM you do realize you insulted thousands of college students from low income families. Way to go BLOCKHEAD!
