Clemson vs. Kentucky:
Clemson scored early on a shot that seemed to really cross-up the goalie- didn't seem like that tough of a shot for the goalie, but hard to really know from the footage. Kentucky gets the equalizer in the last 5 mins on a really pretty play, and then Clemson scores again around the last min on a really good pass combined with really poor marking by Kentucky's defense.

Curious... why 6pm starts? Don’t know but it seems to be working for us. (Might be to minimize the potential effects of jet lag on visiting east coast teams. Just a guess). |

Clemson 15-5-0 Is it odd that the #1 seed is facing a higher seeded opponent than either #2 or #3? |

Looks like they would have been matched against higher seeds, but there were some upsets in their side of the bracket. |

Just like March madness. No re-seeding once the tourney starts. So if seed #6 and #7 lose you get the above pairings in the quarterfinals.

Clemson 15-5-0 Is it odd that the #1 seed is facing a higher seeded opponent than either #2 or #3? At this stage of the tourney, like hoops, the seeds total (9)... 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, etc. Our bracket went as seeded. Other portions included upsets according to seeding... so #3 vs #11 (#6 upset), #4 vs #5 (as seeded), #2 vs #10 (#7 was upset). Upsets are what higher seeds hope happen in terms of "supposed" quality of opponent. |

I see. Our side of the bracket ran true, while over on the Fuskies side, #7 Duke got taken out. Duh.
It’s early. I needed more coffee.

They seeding is confusing - Men's seed 1-16 and a bunch of unseeded (I guess somewhat like baseball). The women's side seeds two 1-4 seeds, which appears to be different than last year where it was 1-16 like the men. Santa Clara won it all last year as a #11 seed. This year they are unseeded and have knocked off a #3 and a #1 seed to again reach the semifinals. But the other three are #1, #1 and #4 seeds: www.ncaa.com/brackets/soccer-women/d1/2021The 2020 mens tournament had a #3 vs. an unseeded. In 2018 it was a unseeded vs. a #11 in the final. So maybe upsets are pretty common in NCAA soccer. |

So maybe upsets are pretty common in NCAA soccer. Seems extremely straightforward to me. 16 national seeds. #1 plays #16, #2 plays #15, etc., etc. If that's "confusing" then good luck with the infield fly rule  I'm not following the women's tournament so I couldn't speak to why it's different. |

I was able to grasp that part, but it's a 32 team tournament, with essentially a play-in game for the top 16 seeds. What I'm not clear on is if Princeton and St. Johns were the #31 and #32 seeds? Also, New Hampshire was a #16 seed, but ranked by the coaches at #6 and an RPI at #11. Or Notre Dame who got a 4 seed but the coaches put at #20 and the RPI at #5. But I guess the big dance has lots of that strangeness as well. In any case, it looks like both still have 6 of top 10 still remaining, but the lists are somewhat different www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpiwww.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/united-soccer-coaches |
