M Soccer vs UCF - NCAA Tournament 2nd Round
No thread up.
M down 1-0 early to a 9th minute goal. Hamoody Saad picked up a yellow card within the first five minutes. 22mins to go in the 1st half now.
Supposedly the A.D. paid admission for the first 200 students so hopefully there's a good crowd on hand. Nice weather in A2 today for the game.

In reply to the OP, Coach Burns talked the Athletic Dept. into 400 student tickets. Coach said we met the quota in helping the team to a win! One of those students was none other than THE Lloyd Brady. He know's his legend and is a great kid. Also in attendance were Carl Hagelin and several field hockey players. Great to see athletes supporting other athletes.

Ohio State has also advanced to the final 16 with a 2-1 win over Providence in Columbus.
Other Big Ten teams in action include Penn State who is tied 1-1 with Old Dominion. Indiana hosts Tulsa later today.
The winner of our match faces the winner of the 7th seed South Carolina-Duke matchup. That match is scoreless early in the 2nd.

1-1 after regulation. Headed to first OT. I believe there's 2 OTs than a shoot out.
November 21st, 2010 at 3:58 PM ^
yep + golden goal
November 21st, 2010 at 4:07 PM ^
WINNER!
HAMOODY!
November 21st, 2010 at 4:16 PM ^
looks like it was officially awarded to Latif Alashe.
either way, same result. ABSOLUTE WIN
November 21st, 2010 at 4:20 PM ^
Daily said Hamoody, I saw a tweet that said Soony, now this. But yes, same result. WIN.
November 21st, 2010 at 5:55 PM ^
Hamoody sent a free kick in that got deflected in for a goal by Latif
November 21st, 2010 at 4:09 PM ^
Blue!

WTG Michigan Soccer!!
November 21st, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
South Carolina, if I remember right? When/where will the game be at?
And of course, congratulation Michigan Men's Soccer! GO BLUE!
November 21st, 2010 at 4:14 PM ^
SHIP IT.
South Carolina won in OT so the next match is at South Carolina next Sunday.
November 21st, 2010 at 4:16 PM ^
Unfortunately, South Carolina defeated Duke, 1-0 in overtime. #10 Michigan will play at #7 South Carolina next Sunday in the Round of 16.
November 21st, 2010 at 4:17 PM ^
Any chance they bring it back to AA for the next round after UM beats the Roosters (not calling them by their real mascot name - this is a family blog)
November 21st, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
Michigan's quarterfinal would be against #2 Maryland, #15 Penn State or unseeded Pennsylvania. If Penn beats Maryland today, or Penn State beats Maryland next Sunday, the Michigan-SC winner would host the quarterfinal in 2 weeks (December 3, 4, or 5).
November 21st, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
Edit: ^^^ yeah, what he said! (a bit slow on the reply)
If Penn upsets Maryland, or Penn State beats the Penn/Maryland winner, it appears the quarterfinal match would be in Ann Arbor. Semifinals are in santa Barbara.

Great win for UM. It was my first trip to a soccer game, and it was a great. Although it toook overtime UM thoroughly dominated most of the game. The shots on goal were heavily slanted towards UM the whole game.
And I managed to get a Lloyd Brady sighting of my own...
November 21st, 2010 at 5:19 PM ^
There is absolutely no way he doesn't read this blog.
November 21st, 2010 at 9:02 PM ^
I was near him during a hockey game and people all around were yelling his name when he walked over. I think some of them knew him, but he was like a celebrity so he's gotta know why.
And when he came up on the scoreboard everyone around me at the Big House was yelling his name. This kid is a celebrity, it's insane. And awesome.
November 21st, 2010 at 6:10 PM ^
I was sitting right there as well. Which means you were probs right next to me
Who's creepy now?
November 21st, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
Hey me too! in fact, my jersey is in the corner of that pic up there ^^^
November 21st, 2010 at 7:21 PM ^
he's everywhere.
November 21st, 2010 at 7:42 PM ^
Looks like his bangs are shorter. What ever happened to the girl resting her elbow in thin air?
November 21st, 2010 at 7:47 PM ^
the students. They were making noise the whole game -- it was a GREAT atmosphere. It was also an entertaining game and a GREAT win.
Overall, I'd give my soccer gameday experience five GREATS out of five.
November 21st, 2010 at 9:26 PM ^
The crowd was small but extremely loud the entire game. The experience was great. On to the next round for the Men's soccer team.
Congrats to the team and the coaches!
We are proud of you.

we got there halfway through the first half (who knew the soccer stadium was such a long walk from campus!?) and they were just putting up "standing room only" signs on the ticket booth. we managed to find seats across from the students, but a lot of people didn't and ended up standing along the south edge of the field. they never announced an official attendance number, but it had to be a capacity crowd.

Third round matchups to be played on Sunday November 28, in bracket order:
#16 Ohio State at #1 Louisville

#12 William & Mary at #5 Southern Methodist
Michigan State at #4 North Carolina
#14 Indiana at #3 Akron
Brown at #6 California
#15 Penn State at #2 Maryland
#10 Michigan at #7 South Carolina
There are 5 Big Ten teams in the final 16; all 5 are on the road this round. If Michigan wins on Sunday, they will either play at #2 Maryland or host #15 Penn State.

Our bracket was considered by many before the tournament to be the toughest of the four and included defending champ Virginia who fell to Old Dominion in the first round.
We've been on a roll lately and I think have a good shot and winning the game down in Columbia. This has arguably been the best season in our short history so hopefuly the boys can continue this run.
MSU may of the result of the tournament so far with the upset at previously undefeated Butler today.
