6 seed vs Air Force
That's #6 overall seed for what it's worth.
Georgetown and Marquette also in for the Big East

Georgetown got seeded way too low. Another example of NCAA conference bias?Georgetown is the #8 overall seed and Marquette unseeded (only top 8 seeded).
We'll be favored against Air Force. I'm not so sure against the other 2 as the ACC and PAC12 are traditionally very strong conferences (ACC has teams seeded 1, 2 and 5). VT didn't play 5 seed wake and went 0-2 against both Clemson and Pitt. Oregon State split a pair against both 4 seed Stanford and 7 seed Washington, so with wins over very good teams they'll be a tough out.are airforce, vt, or oregon state any good?
if memory serves me right oregon state has been pretty good in the past.
wake forest gets a home game, glad were on that side of the bracket
Are fans even allowed? I would love to take a road trip if they get to the sweet 16 or elite 8I'm not a soccer fan generally speaking, but I live about 5 minutes from the Sportsplex in Matthews, NC so I will definitely go to the game against Air Force in my SHU gear!
Very interesting that the game against Air Force is May 2nd (which is 2 weeks from yesterday). It seems like long time, but we certainly came out of our COVID pause well.
It also may have been a lack of respect for us. I think Georgetown is 1 or 2 if they beat us. We'd be unseeded but probably still in judging by Marquette.
When I saw Georgetown go up first as the No 8, who else thought SHU would be below them as one of the unseeded auto bids?
We got screwed in ‘89 AND ‘20, I want a championship! Getting screwed three times is not a charm!Well - we got screwed in hoops in 2020. Let's make up for it by making deep run in 2020 NCAA soccer tournament.
Hopefully they cool off in the next two weeks!Looking at Air Force's schedule and their season has been...interesting. They opened with a win over Dixie State (who was making their D1 debut), drew at UNLV and then lost 4 straight. At that point, something clicked because they've now rattled off 6 straight wins including thrashing previously unbeaten (and at large selection) Grand Canyon 3-0 in the WAC final to win the auto bid from the 6 seed. I'm confident we have the better team, but they're hot and hot can be dangerous.

I find it interesting that the Mountain West doesn't sponsor Men's Soccer (they do Women's Soccer). Only AFA, UNLV and San Jose State play the sport. Also, Incarnate Word and Houston Baptist are Southland Conference teams playing WAC soccer.
I believe they do, but this year was different. Living in Vegas, I know UNR has a team as do other Mountain West teams . Cough it up to COVID. Air Force has been to the NCAA's 3 of the last 4 years, a solid team and no international players . Could be a clash of styles
Correct the following conferences do not sponsor mens soccerAt least in the past there has been no Big 12 or SEC men’s soccer
Hell, Let's win it all!Well - we got screwed in hoops in 2020. Let's make up for it by making deep run in 2020 NCAA soccer tournament.
