Just a thought.

So weird having an IU Kentucky game in soccer where both teams are struggling and in danger of missing tournament. Always has been a match between two squads near the top of college soccer the last decade or two.

Great save by  Harms on a PK following a Bacharach foul and yellow card.

It was like IU fell asleep on defense for 10 minutes.

1-1 at the break.  Hoosiers 4 shots;  3 on goal; 3 corners.   Wildcats 6, 4 & 0.

15 min. remaining and still tied 1-1.  In the second half, Kentucky team issued a yellow card and player Mathias Yohannes one as well.   Alex Barger issued a yellow card for our Hoosiers.

Probably didn't know what to do actually having a lead.

We need OT back in college soccer. Or Yeagley needs to adjust what he does and how he goes about things.

Aug. 29, the only game this year we've scored 2 goals and tonight just added to that streak ending in a 1-1 tie.  Our season record now (3-3-4)(0-1-2) and we head to Penn State (6-1-3)(2-0-1) on Saturday.  Tonight we had 14 shots; 6 on goal and 10 corners.  pUKe finished with 10-5-2.  Shaping up to be a season to forget.

[Aaron]

Two identical teams with all the talent in the world who don't make great decisions and always keep composure with the final pass and when its time to finish in the net.

IU did dominate the second half and got a bit unlucky but also until they get a bona fide scorer on this roster this is what you get. The lack of development of Luka Bezerra as the expected go-to scorer is not Yeagley's fault at all but's it tanked the season.

Gonna need to win the Big Ten Tourney to keep 37 year NCAA streak alive just like 2013. If history is any indication this will be solved in 2024 with an elite scorer but the fix isn't on roster now. 

[Aaron]

Also this match ending in a tie was kind of symbolic of the IU-UK basketball series being renewed. Both teams got something but not exactly what they wanted. UK claims they didn't want to play the series at all so they gave the ability for it to happen period and IU had to take one less home game. 

Just like the draw tonight everyone got something but less than they wanted which is story of the season for two normally elite soccer programs.

Besides the USI game, UE hasn’t played well on the round this season

I am primed to watch IU soccer score more than one goal per game.  Make it so.
