D1 Round II Insight/Predictions?

[norway]

yeah, no joke about the Westminster win. I really was not expecting that at all. Looks like the coaches there made a good change during halftime, shutting down WOU completely in the 2nd half.

the byu sfu game could be a good one. according to my super secret sources down in dallas, sfu looks legit, plays really physical and really benefits from the style of reffing down there. (letting them play) if byu can show up, unlike yesterday, they should pull it out because of their numbers and depth. however, if lamb and co. look sfu over like fsu a couple years ago, there could be trouble in happy valley.

Your right, this should be a good game. SFU looked legit for most of the year. I would argue that BYU did show up yesterday (maybe outside of the first 10 minutes on the defensive side of the ball). BC's defense (especially the poles) was excellent all game long. Past tournament losses like the FSU and Oregon games (even though it was in the consolation round) still linger for the upper classmen and the coaching staff. They did not over look BC nor will they over look SFU.

ineedmorecowbell: Please leave the analysis to the people actually in Dallas. I'm fairly certain that anyone that watched the game would tell you that it was a battle between two evenly matched teams (I talked to a number of BYU supporters here who said BC was one of the best teams they saw all year). The game was a brutal match for both teams, and kudos to BYU for pulling it out in the end.

When looking at the whole bracket, I think BYU definitely had the toughest road to the final 4. They played BC in the first round, who in my opinion (obviously biased, but I think warranted...ask people that were there) was an 8 or 9 seed disguised as a 13, then they played an SFU squad that was relentless. I watched that game today and damn, those canadians can play. Compared to everyone else, I think BYU played two of the most talented teams in the first round, and should be ready to go heading into Texas Stadium.

i didn't analyze anything. the analysis was from someone who's down there and who regularly watches byu play. he said they looked slow and lethargic to start the game. i wasn't bashing bc. relax. all you boston sports fans look too hard for something to be upset about. bc is obviously good. they played the reigning champs to a goal.

WOU has 16 players. And that makes for some pretty tough second halves as evidenced by the Westminster game.

GVSU is the real deal. Not only do their uniforms look tight, but their game is too. #31 set a D2 tournament record against Southwestern and they moved the ball really well. I pick the Lakers over the Griffins by 4 goals.

UC-Santa Cruz definitely had the best haircuts this year.
