Next up Virginia 

Anyone have a scouting report on UVA?

[LamarCheeks 18,274]

Hoosiers vs. Cavs -- probably the two most storied NCAA soccer programs. 

A combined 15 nattys. Having lived in Virignia for the past 20 years, I'd really, really like to win this one! 

(And before anybody asks -- no, I don't know anything about UVA this year. Sorry)

UVA hasn’t lost a game since September 22 and outscoring opponents 18-6. They don’t score a lot, but they are very defensive

They are certainly beatable. (11-3-4) I believe plus a 2-1 win in NCAA. But they are really good at home.

F ‘em.

We’re Indiana and when it’s winning time we kick @$$.

[Aaron 4,268]

One more long road trip to Charlottesville. Win that and rest of tournament will be close to Indiana if not in it (Elite 8 will be in South Bend, Kalamazoo, or Bloomington, and College Cup in Louisville obviously).

IU had a good crowd in Winston-Salem judging by the replays

Todd Yeagley on advancing to a 9th-straight Sweet 16:  "I felt really, really confident tonight... I feel like there's a lot of ownership right now (from players)." Yeagley says heading into the 2nd OT, he barely had to say anything. Players knew what needed to be done.

 

Here's the clip of the vicious bonebreaking sledgehammer elbow that Bacharach delivered to the WF player who's flop immediately qualified him for the WWE.

I agree that that the flop was a really, really good acting job.  Very glad that the referee didn't call anything.

The announcers were the worst.  So very biased towards Wake.  Turned them off and went to closed captioned.

It was a very interesting game.  Really was greatly worried about Wake.  They are very good, very physical.  And they pass well.

IU was much better in attacking.  IU is excellent in getting corner kicks.

Turns out one of them is the Official Wake Forest commentator for their Soccer games this season
