Well, UConn maybe long gone (and deservedly do) from the NCAA mens's soccer playoffs, but, I just looked at the bracket after catching glimpses of Florida St women beating UNC for the women's Cup final during commercials of the UConn v. Arizona basketball game, and smiled a bit.

The ACC sent 9 of their 12 teams (BC was thankfully 1 of 3 not to make it) to the 48-team NCAA men's D1 field, a whopping 19%, while claiming 50% of the seeds (16 total).  From there, not a single team made it to the Cup semi-finals in Santa Barbara next weekend.  Instead its unseeded Akron taking on 3 B1G teams by its lonesome in Indiana (#2 seed), Maryland (#12 seed), and Michigan St (unseeded).   Heck, only ND (#7 seed) made it as far as the quarterfinal (losing to Indiana).  That made me happy.

For those who may have an interest, in DII Barry U (#4 seed) from Miami beat West Chester U (#3) from Philadelphia in Pittsburgh 2-1.  In DIII, Tufts won its 3rd NCAA DIII title in program history beating Calvin 2-1 in Greensboro.
