Seton Hall was really dialed in on offense and defensively gave IU only 2 chances but to IU’s credit, they finished them. IU will need to be much better on offense against a Pitt team that was number 1 going into their conference tournament. Nyk Sessock going up against his old team should be an interesting storyline. Hopefully the weather will be descent.

Not sure about that. Sucking an elite offensive in team into our physical slug fest works beautifully.

Put everything you have on backline like tonight and bet your elite defense holds them out of net and there weaker D concedes a goal or two to us. The rain changed things a bit, but what happened tonight was perfect brilliant strategy and should be used again against a similar type (albeit better) team.  

We have gotten better as tourney goes on and tonight's strategy was completely intentional and should be used again.

Any chance you watched their games against Clemson or UNC. Curious if that was the strategy those teams used.

No but from looking at stats highlights I would think so. What we used tonight of selling the farm on D and refusing to concede to an elite offense and betting on their relatively weaker D conceding a counter a time or two is what you have to do. 

Does not always work but its best strategy when you face a top flight offense and a slightly weak defense and it worked now in 2017 College Cup against UNC and now tonight. Do it again for sure.

Limited - 100 - maybe 150

Looking at UCF and Washington (I don't care what Monmouth did, they play at a lower level so their numbers don't matter), there D's also give up close to a goal a game and are elite offensively similar to Pitt, albeit not as good. That is a much worse matchup for Pitt.

A team like us that has a strong D is a much better matchup to beat them and will give Pitt a lot more trouble. Anything can happen in soccer and Pitt is really good, but we have a far better chance of stopping them than anyone they have played so far in tourney.

Anyone have any idea if College Cup games will be on the ncaa stream in addition to espnu? My cable package doesn't include it

Doubt it. ESPNU has exclusive rights. Best bet is to do a free trial of one of the streaming services and cancel as soon as College Cup is over. You could also upgrade your cable package for a month than cancel or go to a bar.
