NT Soccer vs. USA

[Mean Green Matt]

Game starts at 1pm, and it is going to be a sloppy one. That benefits USA in my opinion, because sloppy conditions usually take some of the "skill" out of the game and it becomes a crapshoot. I will probably go get wet watching it, but won't be posting updates. Go Mean Green!

Will they try to make this game up ?

Not sure. They said, "no make up has been scheduled" but that can mean a couple different things. I'm hoping they clarify. Seeding for the tourney is determined by win % and not overall win/loss record. If the game is not replayed, it does not change the fact that we are going to have to get by Denver to win the conference. I'll post if I see Mean Green Sports clarify that statement anywhere.

Sunday results around the conference:

NT - USA (Cancelled due to rain)

Denver 6-0 Troy

MTSU 2-1 FIU

ASU 5-0 ULM

UALR 1-0 (OT) Louisiana-Lafayette

WKU 3-0 FAU

I really hope the NT/USA game gets made up, but it does not change a whole lot if everything goes according to plan. We are going to need to beat Denver at home regardless. This set of games takes us past the halfway point. Here is how things are looking (with tiebreakers) just past the halfway mark. Only the top 8 teams make the tournament:

1. Denver (6-0)

2. North Texas (5-0)*

3. Florida International (4-1-1)

4. Middle Tennessee (4-2)

5. Western Kentucky (3-2-1)

6. South Alabama (2-2-1)*

T7. Arkansas-Little Rock (3-3)

T7. Arkansas State (3-3)

--------------------------------

9. Troy (2-4)

10. FAU (1-4-1)

T11. ULL (0-6)

T11. ULM (0-6)

* Has played 1 less game than all other teams due to inclement weather.

USA was lucky the game was rained out! UNT was about to put some big time hurt on them!
