I already started this in another thread but we can go with this one. 15 min in. 0-0 and game on BTN.

Anyways NW is a lot better this year and for the first time in years is actually playing a back and forth game and not parking bus against us. Not sure if they are saying they are a lot better so they feel confident moving forward more or if we are worse so they don't need to park bus. May be a bit of both. Either way makes for a better game albeit a bit more nerve racking. 

New goalie tonight as Celentano replaces Caulfield. Also Munie still starting over Kleyn for performance reasons, Bezerra is back after missing last game with injury and Ian Black out with injury still for fourth straught game. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,775]

Sorry Aaron.  I looked for a thread and didn't see one so I started this one.

[Aaron 4,293]

More than anything need to watch their star Kimiavi who we have lost twice on D with him nearly scoring. Still 0-0 18 min in.

No problem

[Aaron 4,293]

Goal IU. NW makes a mess of a clearance in the box and gives IU an own goal. We will take it. VAR confirms after it barely crossed line. 1-0. 8 min left in first half.

[Aaron 4,293]

Tied back up after a tip your hat goal from way outside the box from NW. Not sure what could of been done about it. 1-1 five min left in first half.

[Aaron 4,293]

I should say we are lucky to be tied. NW was clearly the better team that half and one of the few times we were out-shot. I think we are shell shocked how much better NW is and we still have growing up to do. In all honesty NW had the four best opportunities and we only scored because Goumballe knocked one off a defender and was credited with a goal (If you ask me it was an own goal and NW didn't clear it well and we had no business scoring). NW goal was a thing of beauty a couple min later and nothing we could do about it. Yeagley on TV interview predictably not happy with IU's play that half. Very different half against NW then in a long time with them actually playing back and forth and not just parking 11 defenders behind the ball as they have done last 5 yrs at least against us.

Big Ten is on its head right now with MSU and Wiscy who are usually strong contenders in the absolute toilet right now and NW and PSU going from the toilet to the penthouse much improved. OSU and Rutgers have improved a bit but not sure how much and IU and Maryland still good but behind pace of previous few yrs. Only similarity is Michigan is still Michigan as a probable mid pack conference team and NCAA tourney contender with a good offense but little in the way of D

[Aaron 4,293]

I hope we have a lucky rabbit's foot or something tonight because NW just handed us a second goal. We nearly trailed because Celentano made bad judgement coming out of goal minutes earlier but NW missed the shot on an open net. Then on the other end Palo fell on a ball but it went to Penn who's shot was nowhere near the mark but NW deflected it in for an own goal. 

We lead 2-1 in game we should be trailing 2-0. Sort of the reverse of unfortunate games IU has seen in past. Hopefully it continues.

[Aaron 4,293]

We get a goal we finally earn from Morris. His first of season. Great pass from Goumballe along the line to Morris in front of goal who hammered it home. Kind of similar to goal Penn had against Sacramento Goumballe set up but from other side of field. 3-1.

[Aaron 4,293]

3-1 final.

To me NW got some payback from the soccer gods for last year for fluke goals in our late 2-1 wins despite out shooting them by over 20 shots each time. Tonight NW played really well but had everything go against them with the two basically own goals. I hope this doesn't discourage them from playing us all out going forward as it makes for much better soccer and if they clean up the mistakes they have just as good of a chance to beat us as ever playing a normal game. After the second own goal that gave us the lead back we finally dominated and got all the shots from there but only got the one (but very important) tack on goal.

IU still undefeated in Big Ten since late 2015 at 21-0-9 in the regular season in that time and if you include Big Ten Tourney its expands to 27-0-13 since PK losses count as ties. We will probably have this streak doused this year (maybe even against PSU Sunday who is red hot) at some point but as long as its going its mighty impressive.
