It was a hell of a crash and burn season, but we were in it up to the end. Good luck to everybody else in the NCAA.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

How the hell does Creighton boatrace PC a week ago and then lose in the conference tournament? Just like the basketball season it seems.
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.

The Friars beat XU tonight 2-1, to take the Big East championship.

X scored first off a corner about mid first. PC tied in 10 minutes later on a blast from the top of the box. Then with around 10 to play in the game, the Friars poked in the go-ahead goal and held on.

Rain played a part in the action. Lots of slips and slides. Xavier was without their star goalkeeper, who pulled a groin on Friday. See all of you in the NCAAs... there should be 4 or 5 of us getting bids.

NCAA Selection show as a complete shit show. Constantly froze for everyone, then ended up skipping half the bracket. And the seeds made no sense.

Xavier was on the border of getting a seed. I wouldn't say they got screwed though. RPI was 18th the teams who were seeded all had RPIs higher than that. Only win over a tournament team was Georgetown in the BET (yes ties to Creighton and Providence, but ties aren't wins).

If they were on the border of getting a seed, they shouldn't have to face the 5th best team in the country in Indiana with a win.

Well that's all because the Pod system used in the Soccer playoffs. Outside of the seeded teams they don't consider the teams strength. They're grouped by Geography not seeded the way the basketball tournament is. So teams just have to play teams near each other. This cuts down on travel expenses since the tournament loses money for everyone involved. It's stupid and annoying.

The higher RPI team gets the home game as long as they put in a bid to host, but the matchups are dictated by geography not talent level. UC Irvine which has a slightly better case than Xavier for a seed (better RPI and wins) has to play Stanford who got shafted as a 6 seed and should've gotten a top 4 seed.

Wow that's an incredibly dumb rule.
