NCAA Tournament 2025

First time watching Wesleyan today.  What an impressive back 3 and double pivot. If this group continues this form it will likely be a long bus ride home for the Profs tomorrow.

2nd round upsets, pick 3...

CNU over Lynchburg
Rowan over Wesleyan
Edgewood over Augsburg

and I don't think Wash U over chicago should count as an upset since they just beat them a week ago with only 10 men for 75 minutes of the match.

CNU beating Lynchburg as an upset. Hmmm, pretty evenly matched teams, imo. Both have been playing really well.

[kansas hokie]

The second round is full of fairly even matchups, but Lynchburg is top seed in this region and #4 in NPI, losing at home to CNU would have to be called an upset. Lynchburg is clear favorite, but yes, the gap isn't huge.

biggest 2nd round favorites? I'd say Trinity (TX Lutheran), Conn College (Babson), and Bowdoin (U-Mass Boston)

the rest are all narrow differences but I'd call Lynchburg one of the strongest favorites left.

Texas Lutheran won't be easy for Trinity, especially if they play like they did against Whitman.  Trinity beat TLU back on 9/12, but it was only 1-0 on an 87th minute goal.

I am really interested in the Scranton team- been following them from a distance all year. My son got an offer from them earlier this year but decided to go elsewhere. Great defense and scoring some goals- excited to see how far they go.

Tufts vs. Brandeis now live, with the winner punching their ticket to the S16 vs. Messiah. Will we finally get the Tufts-Messiah match-up we've been waiting for?

[Mr_November]

Always make a point to tune in to Babson games during the NCAAs. Thoroughly enjoy the intensity and ugency with which they play.

And as I'm typing this, a wonderful, delightful chest-down, spin, and finish from Babson. 1-1 with Conn.

[camosfan]

Like their coach, he tried to recruit my son who ended up at Tufts, and he was never bitter like some other coaches, always kept in touch.

Wow, Brandeis finally had a decent chance on the offensive side that was turned away and then quickly transitioned to tufts best chance that their forward somehow pushed left on an open goal. Brandeis feeling the pressure but have not broke yet.

Bend don't break for the Judges! Couldn't believe Tufts player pulled that one wide. Around the keeper and an open net.

Rowan v. Wesleyan

Best announcer ever, truly. Despite the autumn sniffles. Minimalist with tone going up only during goals.

As to Rowans goals, Wes keeper having hardest day ever. Really tough. First was a head ball back to him where he just fumbled it in front of goal. Goal area looked a bit wet a little muddy. Second, the ball skidded out of hands.

Question, NCAAs,biggest platform, yeah windy, but does Wes own a leaf blower??? I think that definitely affected play.
