    All of those are pay-per-view or channel subscription from my TV and webcast viewing seat except perhaps ESPN3 which I can sometimes get, but under a different ESPN identifier. The Louisville at UC Davis game will be free on BW TV (although I have to open my second-choice browser (the one without the built-in ad blocker) to see it).

    On Thursday evening I was able to click through the NCAA site - via your abominable box scores, iirc - and watch parts of the West Virginia and Maryland games without paying or being asked to pay.

    Brave has an integrated ad-blocker. I just switch over to the Google Chrome browser which I have open anyway in a different window because words with friends doesn't work in Brave.

    I don't represent CSN. Press pass for sure; reimbursement probably not.

    Louisville 0-0 @ UC Davis at halftime.

    The run of play heavily favors Davis, and they even put the ball in the net at the end of the half, but the ref ruled that time had expired.

    The Davis soccer field nominally hold 1000, but they bring in temporary stands behind the north goal and set up standing room barriers when they expect a big crowd. This is the first time that I have seen temporary stands on the far side as well, and those stands appear to be full with standees surrounding them.

    Louisvill 1-0 @ UC Davis final.

    (62M) Louisville keeper had the ball in his hands after a Davis free kick at head level. He tossed the ball down the center, followed by a long pass to a Louisville striker already running behind the defense down the right. He took a long low shot and put the ball inside the left post.

    Here are the Sweet 16 match-ups:

    St. John's @ Virginia
    Central Florida @ Southern Methodist

    UC Santa Barbara @ Indiana
    Michigan @ Wake Forest

    Louisville @ Georgetown
    Marshall @ Washington

    Virginia Tech @ Stanford
    Providence @ Clemson

    Only three seeded teams failed to advance yesterday. Did the selection committee get it right or does home field and the bye make that much of a difference? Or both?

    Here are the teams left by conference:

    ACC - 5: Virginia, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Clemson, Wake Forest
    Big East - 3: Georgetown, Providence, St. John’s
    Big Ten - 2: Michigan, Indiana
    Pac-12: 2: Stanford, Washington
    American Athletic - 2: SMU, Central Florida
    Conference USA - 1: Marshall
    Big West - 1: UC Santa Barbara

    Eight of the 16 teams are former national champions and 13 of the 16 have been to the College Cup before, all 13 at least once since 2005. The only three schools still alive that haven't been to the Cup before are UCF, Marshall and Washington.

    Louisville gave Georgetown its only loss of the year.

    This is the third UCF-SMU match-up since Oct. 6; SMU won the last one and they tied the first one.

    UCSB-Indiana is a rematch of the 2004 national championship game.

    Georgetown is the best team I’ve seen this year.

    My eyeballs say given no undue influence from weather, injuries, referees etc they will win.

    In other words...50/50;)

    Stanford's GK saved 4 of 5 in the shoot-out against Seattle. Is that a record?

    I am told that Stanford is 6-0 in NCAA Tournament matches decided by PKs.

    Yeah, you don't want to go to penalties against Stanford (as we Akron fans learned in the 2015 semifinals …)

    Who did Blair Gavin sky the PK against in the NCAA final in Cary? Was it WF, UVA or I don't remember.

    If you're a Gtown fan, root for good weather. They don't play as well on the turf field (the football field) which they did against MSU (in the NCAA) and lost and Louisville (in regular season) both in 2018.

    I’m not a fan but I like their style of play and, based on a limited sample, think they should continue to do well.

    Agree their style is likely helped by a good field, good weather and a ref that keeps the game in control.

    Well, at least the first two seem remotely possible ...
