Men's Soccer is in the quarter 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,500 finals of the NCAA tournament because of course, that's what I 10 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,600 you men's soccer.

The Hoosiers with a chance to go 13 00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:55,400 to yet another College cup. And it's been a fascinating 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,800 season for this IU team as they've had, you know, a very 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,400 Weird year. I was there were supposed to 16 00:01:02,408 --> 00:01:05,900 start in the fall that got postponed everything. 17 00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,200 I push together into the spring, they play the Big 10 only 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,500 schedule, kind of like what happened with IU football and I 19 00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:16,200 you men soccer did what I even soccer does which is, they won 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 the Big Ten regular season title, little bit of an asterisk 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,200 tonic, I guess as they didn't have to play Penn State or 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,200 Michigan, because of covid cancellations. 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,100 But they were able to beat those teams in the Big Ten tournament 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,900 and They end up with the term and title as well. 25 00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,900 So another double for this IU men's soccer team just 26 00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:37,000 continuing that string of excellence in the Big Ten 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Conference, and then a tournament run, that's been 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,900 fraught with a bit of peril. They struggled in both games, to 29 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,000 some degree, but really seem to find their legs a bit as they 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,400 got into the second half of their most recent game against 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,500 Marquette. They end up winning that contest 32 00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,800 and now they stand at the doorstep of another College cup. 33 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,000 So we've got some special guests, joining us on Crimson 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,300 cast to talk about IU men's soccer, And talk about what's 35 00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:05,200 happened this season, talk about what to expect with in these 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,600 games, we've got Evan Gerke from the Indiana Daily student, The 37 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,000 Men's Soccer Beat writer, as he will be chatting about the 38 00:02:13,008 --> 00:02:15,000 season as a whole.

We haven't had you on the Pod 73 00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:03,000 yet, so it's great to see you. And welcome to the show. 74 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:04,400 Thank you. It's going to be here. 75 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:08,200 Yeah. So let's just kind of start at 76 00:04:08,208 --> 00:04:12,700 the beginning of this season. I mean, you know, obviously a 77 00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:16,600 year ago at this time lockdown happens, but I think everybody 78 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,399 thinks we'll be able to play some Outdoor Sports in the fall, 79 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,200 it won't be that. Bad and you know I remember 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,900 running into Todd yeagley at a local establishment in August 81 00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,100 when they made the ruling that they weren't going to do that 82 00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:32,800 and it was kind of like okay what now and you have pointed 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,800 out in a couple of your pieces that this started a very long 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,500 strange Saga for IU soccer that led into this kind of impromptu 85 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:45,400 spring season that they've had. So you know what is what's what 86 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,900 what is it been like for the team and you know what have you 87 00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:51,000 seen out of them so far? As they've tried to play 88 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,200 through. A really weird set of 89 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,700 circumstances. Yeah, it has been super strange. 90 00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:59,500 Obviously, this is the first spring season and the history of 91 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,700 I even soccer. So, you know, going into it. 92 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000 No, not really no no knew what to expect, they're trying to 93 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,400 kind of make this, a more normal thing. 94 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,100 There's, you know, during The Works to pass it. 95 00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:15,100 So, men's soccer is a full season full year long season 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,600 starts in the fall and Xin. Jun ish. 97 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:20,800 This is kind of a trial run for them but Obviously, they haven't 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,000 done that before, so they have to have to adjust to a lot of 99 00:05:23,008 --> 00:05:25,000 different things. The main one being the 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400 difference in. Whether usually you start in 101 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,100 August, you have nice weather and then the college cups and 102 00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,200 December January. When it's cold out. 103 00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:33,200 This year is kind of the opposite. 104 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,500 They started in February the first couple games. 105 00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,200 Why you were moved indoors, they had to go play in Westfield 106 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,000 because it was just, it was snowy. 107 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,900 The first game was too cold to second game. 108 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:47,300 Ohio State didn't have the facilities endorse or they had 109 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,200 to come to Indiana. And now is the seasons going on. 110 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,600 It's getting warmer and warmer. Now, they're in North Carolina. 111 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,700 This is the warmest weather. They played in all year and now 112 00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,900 they have to adjust to that. Yeah. 113 00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,800 It's, it's certainly been very disconcerting and, of course, 114 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,300 having to play just a Big Ten schedule for the entirety of the 115 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,900 regular season that was interesting as well. 116 00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:11,600 And yet, you know, there's kind of the Native quality of this IU 117 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200 team leads them to another regular season title albeit one. 118 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,600 That's got a bit of an asterisk because of some games that got 119 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,500 canceled and And so forth but then they kind of reproved 120 00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,700 themselves in the Big Ten tournament and when that as 121 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:27,500 well. Yeah I mean how surprised were 122 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:30,600 you that given all the things that they've dealt with IU was 123 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,400 able to come away with another double? 124 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:37,500 I'm not super surprised obviously it takes a lot of, you 125 00:06:37,508 --> 00:06:40,300 know, good playing to kind of wind that double. 126 00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,100 So there's always a little bit of surprise in there, but if 127 00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,800 anyone was going to do, it was going to be Indiana, just 128 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,000 because of the history of this program and they have a good mix 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,700 of Ian sin, younger players, obviously. 130 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,100 Now dispenser glass is gone that one hurt but he's still leading 131 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:56,800 them from the sidelines. They have a chip Palazzolo, Joe 132 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,300 Schmidt. And then a lot of young players, 133 00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:00,800 a lot of sophomores on this team. 134 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,300 I've noticed bezerra Celentano Daniel Muni, Ryan wouldn't bring 135 00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,300 who's been a super sub for the team, so there's a really good 136 00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:12,000 mix of that of, you know, we've played for a long time. 137 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,300 And this is, you know, they're the young spry players that have 138 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:19,500 kind of taken over this team so that gave Good chance or are you 139 00:07:19,508 --> 00:07:23,000 the kind of create this run and they have easier portion of the 140 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,800 schedule, the beginning of the year that we were able to run 141 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,800 through get some confidence build up. 142 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,400 And then once they got to the tournament, everything was 143 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000 clicking. The Sarah went off in the 144 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,700 tournament. Roman Celentano played just as 145 00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:37,800 well as he always does and the defense with probably, the only 146 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,900 exception being join mayor's red card, wasn't even really a bad 147 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:45,900 decision was Stellar do the Big Ten tournament and really just 148 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,400 help them kind of do what they always do. 149 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,100 When the title even during the regular season obviously there 150 00:07:52,108 --> 00:07:56,100 was a bit of a stroke they avoided Penn State, who honestly 151 00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,300 was probably the second best team in the Big Ten this year. 152 00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,300 It was kind of hard to tell going into that last game. 153 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,800 I was I'm not sure how good Penn State actually is because they 154 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,000 have two games canceled, because of some Cava covid positive 155 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,800 tests on their team, which was Michigan, Indiana who I have 156 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,800 that point. I was like oh those are 157 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,500 definitely the best two teams, the Big Ten. 158 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,700 So not seeing Penn State before that was kind of weird but 159 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,100 Beating them in the way. They did. 160 00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,300 Kind of prove that even though Penn State is a very good team, 161 00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:22,100 any outstanding, the best in the Big Ten in this year. 162 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,500 You know, what do you think about this? 163 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,900 I you team. I certainly I'm always impressed 164 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:29,600 with the talent. The Tide yeagley is able to 165 00:08:29,608 --> 00:08:32,299 assemble your after year. I mean, it's just this constant 166 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,700 churn Victor bezerra has, you know, been certainly the 167 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:40,700 Highlight from a goalscoring perspective and Far Away leads 168 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:44,900 the team and in goals scored. And, and, you know, is I think 169 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:48,000 tied for second in assists, He's been such a huge part of the 170 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,400 attack so far this year, you know? 171 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,700 But as you mentioned, it is interesting because they do have 172 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,100 a group of players that seems to mesh very well around him. 173 00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:03,300 And you look at the overall stats for the season, and even 174 00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:06,800 though it's been largely just against Big Ten opponents, 175 00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,500 they've outscored opponents, Twenty Eight, two five so far 176 00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,800 this year, they've a shot them by a pretty significant margin, 177 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,400 you know, what is it that, You see out of this roster, you know 178 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,600 in terms of what makes them tick like we do, what is the force or 179 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,800 what is the mentality that they're able to bring? 180 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:30,100 That allows them to be as consistent as they've been over 181 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:33,500 the course of the year. That's a good question. 182 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,000 I think it kind of starts with how solid the defense has 183 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,200 because there's kind of that trust in the defense that they 184 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,800 are able to build onto and move forward, especially back, when 185 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:49,500 Spencer glasses are you saw like they were fine sitting back kind 186 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,400 of letting the other teams had a trach, attacked them and then 187 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,900 going on the counter because they knew if they got Spencer, 188 00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,000 the Duvall on the sidelines. He can whip it into a 189 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,900 cross-legged scored easily. So it's not a defensive minded, 190 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,800 T necessarily It starts through the defense because of how good 191 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,600 the defense is that they're able to work off of that and it has 192 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,500 kind of changed the last few games against Marquette. 193 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,900 It, they kind of had to be defensive but they were trying 194 00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:18,300 to push. It may be a little too much 195 00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:20,800 sometimes I couldn't get that final pass that I needed. 196 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:26,100 So then when they were trying to push marketing, obviously got 197 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,300 that counted end up going off of that was kind of the big moment 198 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,300 in the first half at least for most of the game that was You 199 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:33,700 thought was going to be the big moment. 200 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,200 But when the defense is that good, there were able to kind of 201 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,800 rely on the defense knowing that for the most part, it's going to 202 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,000 be scoreless, maybe at most one goal. 203 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,600 That's all we do, they have, they haven't given up more than 204 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,700 one goal season, so they can use that. 205 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,500 And then when the moments right push forward, and then you've 206 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:53,200 got Strikers, like, Victor, bezerra, or even, some of the 207 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,800 other guys wouldn't bring her Brenda Leigh, maluku Bali who've 208 00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:59,900 both, you know, scored two goals against Marquette. 209 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,100 Those guys are good finishers but obviously busy. 210 00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,500 Is the leader whenever they get on the balls or so credit 211 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,800 scoring. So they don't have to be trying 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,400 to get 15 shots on goal every game because all I need is one 213 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,100 or two and you might see one or two goals beginning of the NCAA 214 00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:20,200 tournament. They get the first round by the 215 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,300 st. Francis game was a bit of a 216 00:11:22,308 --> 00:11:26,700 surprise, not just, that it went to Ooty, and then penalty kicks, 217 00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:31,400 but it really looked like st. Francis was a little better 218 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,300 condition like They they they they seem to have a lot more 219 00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,100 spark. Level of was less miles on the 220 00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,600 legs or something like that. Was that a surprise given that 221 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600 obviously, st. Francis is probably a couple of 222 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,400 steps down in terms of overall quality. 223 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,700 Well, this is something equally talked about in the postgame 224 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,400 press conference for one they had just won a game. 225 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,000 So he said in the NCAA tournament when you win that 226 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,100 game you have them moment momentum. 227 00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:57,000 They had them that momentum that they can kind of ride into the 228 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,100 game against Indiana and then second of all I you was coming 229 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:04,900 off of 15-day. Which is way longer than any 230 00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:07,500 other normal NCD n-c-double-a tournament. 231 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:10,100 Pause usually it's like a week from the Big Ten Tournament to 232 00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,600 the NCAA tournament. So there was definitely some 233 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,000 maybe some tiredness that they'll, they weren't fully and 234 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,300 condition. They're also playing in warmer 235 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,600 weather than they had all year. So that was going to take a toll 236 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,200 on them kind of getting used to that. 237 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,200 Just the but same for us is to play really good game. 238 00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:31,500 You can't discredit them. They the Youssef either. 239 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,100 Their Tigers scored the goal near the score probably 230 240 00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:36,500 more. They were really pushing Indiana 241 00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:40,000 and Indiana distant. Have the gas, maybe to finish it 242 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,600 and Regulation. And without Joey May or to that 243 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,300 one did hurt them. Because obviously, that red 244 00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:46,600 card, he was suspended for that game. 245 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,400 And that was probably, one of the reasons they score. 246 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,200 There's a few counter chances that Muni alone. 247 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,500 I don't think I think bright be you play second back. 248 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,700 Who is he's not even a defensive player my trade. 249 00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:00,500 He's just been playing there since since Spencer went out. 250 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:04,300 If Muni and mayor Our bolt back there, you might not have seen 251 00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:08,500 them scored but there just wasn't enough gas maybe for 252 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,700 regulation. But yeagley said, you know, once 253 00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,800 I got to penalty kicks, they had Robin angle. 254 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,500 They didn't, they weren't nervous at all and I was sent on 255 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:20,400 has had quite a last few weeks. Obviously, you have the shootout 256 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,700 in the Big Ten Tournament, you have that shootout, and then, 257 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,700 you know, essentially an Unstoppable shot that Marquette 258 00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:28,600 put up that first time for the goal. 259 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,200 But then a couple of key saves that. 260 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,700 I think a little got a little it overshadowed in the goals that I 261 00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,500 use scored, there was a there was one very late in the game, 262 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:39,900 which I was convinced was going in and sent us on time. 263 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,800 I was in exactly the right spot. It really seems like a guy 264 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,700 that's managed to pick up and carry on this tradition of just 265 00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:50,100 excellent. Guys between the sticks for I 266 00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,100 over the last four or five itinerary actions. 267 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,100 Oh, yeah, he's been fantastic. And he's just a sophomore who's 268 00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:59,200 growing. I got a chance to talk to some 269 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400 of his former coaches, Neil Thompson, who was his goal Coach 270 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,700 for a long time. David Richardson, who was his 271 00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:10,100 Club coach? They've been working him on him 272 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,100 with him for a long time. He's six foot three. 273 00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,500 Now he was not always that big used to be a pretty small guy. 274 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,400 He was five foot four when he was 14. 275 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400 So he wasn't the kind of person you would have expected to see 276 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,700 him goal at that time. And he kind of took that 277 00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:28,400 personally became one guy who really worked hard the You know, 278 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,400 because he had the he didn't have the height or anything, he 279 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,200 work on the fundamentals, try to become the best goalkeeper, he 280 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,400 could be and that's really translated to his game. 281 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,800 Now he's always on the right position. 282 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,500 He's really quick with his feet which allows him to move back 283 00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:43,200 and forth and he still got room to grow. 284 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,100 He's which is impressive, considering how good he's been, 285 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,300 he can't even get better than this and um, it definitely would 286 00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,200 say that like he's been one of the main reasons I use been as 287 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,700 good as they have this year, it's which is him and bezerra 288 00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,500 that have been the key. This is n because he's been 289 00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:01,800 saving pretty much everything he's got. 290 00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,600 I think eight or nine shutouts on the season. 291 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,300 Now, only once in his twenty seven career starts, has he 292 00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:11,200 allowed more than one goal and that was against Maryland last 293 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,500 year and one of his probably is, for his biggest challenge. 294 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,100 When he comes back in the Big Ten Tournament shuts him down, 295 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,800 and I use able to get past them and he's just improved and said, 296 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,500 so many chose this year's so many impressive. 297 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:27,100 Saves diving, saves that have really kept gyu won a lot of 298 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,300 games and kept them ahead in a lot of games. 299 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,400 So why you is in the quarterfinals, they're playing 300 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,800 on Monday, which depending on when we release this might be 301 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,300 later today. For those of you that are 302 00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,900 listening and they take on Seton Hall and Seton Hall. 303 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,500 The the six seed overall, they're also sixth in the 304 00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,200 country and this is a team that's had an interesting season 305 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,600 to say the least that they got started off pretty slow. 306 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,400 They drew with New Jersey Institute of Technology. 307 00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:58,300 They lost it Georgetown. Which That's, I mean, Georgetown 308 00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:02,700 has been in the top ten most of the year, but then they get to 309 00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:06,700 the Big East Championship. That's a Marquette team that I, 310 00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,700 you just knocked off. Seton Hall, beat them for to 1, 311 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400 and then they're able to avenge the earlier loss to Georgetown. 312 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,400 And and yet they, you know, they had to go to penalty kicks 313 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800 against Virginia Tech. They had to come back twice in 314 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,600 that game. What's your read on the Seton, 315 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,300 Hall team and what sorts of problems, might they posed for 316 00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,400 IU? Yeah, they've had a pretty 317 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000 incredible year that that loss to Georgetown is the only law, 318 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,200 so it's been a while since I've actually lost the game. 319 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,700 Probably some momentum coming off that Virginia Tech win just 320 00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,600 because it was really unprofitable. 321 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,000 Been for them. A very exciting game, scored. 11 322 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,500 seconds left in the first half tied at one, Virginia Tech took 323 00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:47,300 another lead scoring. Like the 82nd minute I have had 324 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,900 to made it to penalty kicks, which, at that point in Virginia 325 00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:53,000 Tech was down a man's. I was like, oh, baby the penalty 326 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,500 kicks. It's like IU and against Penn 327 00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:55,800 State. I think they're gonna win this. 328 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,300 It was six all, I'm heavily cakes and then the goal years. 329 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,100 Yeah, the goalie makes a safe waves off. 330 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,400 His teammate to take the penalty kick himself scores, the game 331 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,599 winner, pretty impressive moment and Seton Hall. 332 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:10,800 Their history isn't great. So seeing what they're doing 333 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,099 this year is really impressive going into the season. 334 00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:15,000 They had 13 consecutive losing Seasons. 335 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,599 They haven't been to the NCAA tournament since 2005. 336 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,300 The last time they made a turn around this, good to the Sweet 337 00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,800 16 was in nineteen know sorry Elite eight I guess it would be 338 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,599 here. The the semi her quarterfinals, 339 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,600 whatever was 1988 where they ran into you, who became the 340 00:17:31,608 --> 00:17:33,400 National Championship Champions that year. 341 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,200 So there's a little bit of a guess long-lost rivalry little 342 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,200 bad blood that they, they've been talking about avenging but 343 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,500 they've improved a lot this season and they could definitely 344 00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,500 pose a threat to IU their number six in the country. 345 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,600 This is the best team in the end. 346 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,000 It's going to face all season. They've got good players like 347 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,400 CJ, troubling, but seven. Goals defense said in Luke 348 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400 Adamas. The Team all-big East and then 349 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,700 their goalie and dries. No, to do a deep and save. 350 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:05,100 The few penalty kicks and regulation last few games, most 351 00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,900 of the penalty case against Virginia Tech went in but he's 352 00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,000 been definitely proving as the season goes on. 353 00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:14,300 So the main the main thing Indiana has to do in this game 354 00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:20,300 is spread that offense and with with the the offense it's mostly 355 00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:24,100 been bezerra but you can't focus on bezerra because if you do you 356 00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:26,500 get something like the ndaa goal that we saw against Marquette 357 00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:29,100 where they swarm him. He Taps it off to a wide-open 358 00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:33,200 player who can finish as long as Indiana can spread the offense 359 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,800 or defense is going to be fine. So the moat and the more 360 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,300 offensive spread they get if they can get you know services 361 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,500 from outside cross into the box that actually connects to the 362 00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,800 player, which they couldn't do against Marquette stuff. 363 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,400 Like, that is really the key to advancing to the next round. 364 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,300 It's going to be interesting. I mean, Seton Hall has had a bit 365 00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,500 of a leaky or defense than Indiana over the course of the 366 00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:53,900 season. I think they have a lot of 14 367 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,900 goals to Indiana's five. But as you mentioned, This is a 368 00:18:56,900 --> 00:19:00,600 pretty complete team and they do have that kind of team on a 369 00:19:00,608 --> 00:19:04,100 mission sort of atmosphere around them right now so we'll 370 00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:06,300 have to see what happens. You know, we've seen how you 371 00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,000 thrive in these situations in the past. 372 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,200 They've generally done a pretty good job of taking that next 373 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,200 step. Once they get to the 374 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,700 quarterfinals over the course of the last five or six years. 375 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:19,800 But in this type of a season, it's hard to say, you know what? 376 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,500 Ends up happening and it should be a pretty compelling 377 00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:26,800 quarterfinal definitely. All right, well, Appreciate you 378 00:19:26,808 --> 00:19:28,000 joining us. This is fun. 379 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,200 And hopefully, we'll have you on again when I, you makes it to 380 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,700 the college cup if that indeed happens. 381 00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:38,700 So best of luck with the rest of the summer for you, and I 382 00:19:38,708 --> 00:19:40,100 appreciate you taking the time to join us. 383 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,300 Thanks for having me.

You've probably seen his work on 387 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Twitter, Jared, thanks for joining us. 388 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600 As always, good to talk to you. How are things going? 389 00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:01,200 Things are good. Appreciate you having me on 390 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,400 first of all, first time on the show, longtime listener though. 391 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,500 So yeah, should be good. Good time talk, I meant soccer. 392 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,700 Absolutely, no. It's a really fascinating time 393 00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:15,000 for IU as they sit here on the precipice of another College cup 394 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:20,700 and a really weird season as we've watched this whole thing 395 00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,900 unfold, we were talking about this with Evan Gerke, a little 396 00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:27,700 bit earlier on this podcast. What's been your reflections of 397 00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,300 this season and the way that everything is gone down for this 398 00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:34,600 IU team. Yeah, you know, they obviously 399 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,900 the spring season in general has been very odd like most sports 400 00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,800 big-time only conference conference early schedule. 401 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,100 And you know, the thinking was coming into this season for IU, 402 00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:49,700 is they lost a lot of pieces? You know, Jack mayor, Aiden 403 00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,700 Morris Josh pain. Just a lot of pieces. 404 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:54,700 And then, you know, we were really, really sure what we're 405 00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,900 going to get this year. And you lo and behold, Victor, 406 00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:02,400 bezerra big ten, offensive player of the year, get Roman 407 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,300 soliton. Oh, big-time goalkeeper of the 408 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,900 year. And you know, I you only lost 409 00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:10,600 one game this year and it was to Northwestern which was a shock 410 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,300 that that would came out of nowhere. 411 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,300 Yeah. It was like the first time in 412 00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:19,700 like over a decade or something. But yeah, I mean the the pieces 413 00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:22,800 are kind of all lined up and they find themselves in a lead 414 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,800 and now, so they kind of control their Destiny. 415 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,000 This point I want to Talk a little bit about about where 416 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,500 they're going to be going in the tournament and what they're 417 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,300 facing in this quarterfinal game. 418 00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:36,100 But before we get to that, I wanted to talk about this piece 419 00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:38,100 that you just released a couple of days ago. 420 00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:43,200 Really good profile on on the yeagley men, you know, from from 421 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,400 Jerry down through Todd and then been, if you haven't read that 422 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,100 yet, folks, I would highly recommend doing. 423 00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:53,600 So I've been around. I you soccer long enough when I 424 00:21:53,608 --> 00:21:55,100 read it I was like. Well yeah, of course, that's 425 00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,600 exactly. What I would have expected but I 426 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,900 think for a lot of people, you know, the egg Lee's are a name. 427 00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,800 There are people that are interesting but it's, you know, 428 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,300 until you've worked with them and I've had the pleasure of 429 00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:11,500 working with Todd quite a bit. It's you never really know what 430 00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,300 you're dealing with from afar. So what was that process? 431 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,700 Like I guess for you reporting, that story seem like you got a 432 00:22:17,708 --> 00:22:21,400 lot of really great, great access enabled, it being able to 433 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,700 talk with all of them. So how was putting that piece 434 00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,800 together for you? Yeah. 435 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,900 Well, this story is kind of a, almost a year in the making. 436 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,800 I'd set up these interviews last summer during during quarantine, 437 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,000 when nothing was really going on. 438 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,600 I was I'll try to fish for a story, and I always knew I 439 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,500 wanted to do something on the église because just, you know, 440 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,600 just just their name alone. But I wanted to find, you know, 441 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,000 something different than just the story of, you know, them, 442 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,100 because everyone knows a national championships, the Big 443 00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:51,700 Ten championships, all these things. 444 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400 So I want, but I wanted to dig deeper and I kind of got this 445 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,000 idea that, you know, no, you don't hear much from Jerry 446 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,100 anymore, at least post coaching, and I was going to kind of 447 00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:05,600 attack from that angle and then I got this idea that, you know, 448 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,300 it did this coaching kind of tree that that they're building 449 00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:13,900 with with Ben now playing and also Grant who's a freshman 450 00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:17,300 there, I wanted to kind of see, is this something that's going 451 00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:21,700 to last long and in kind of endure for, you know, decades 452 00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,200 upon decades and then, you know, the more you get to kind of 453 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,900 talking to them Todd is so laid-back, and he's so much 454 00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:34,100 different than a lot of coaches will talk to and that way, 455 00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:37,300 because he's always so present in the moment. 456 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,500 So, you know, when I was talking to him, it kind of the kind of 457 00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:45,200 light bulb went off and I was like, you know, this is a story, 458 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,200 you know, this isn't a story just about a really good 459 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,200 program, really good family. It's a story about three 460 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,300 generations, who may be all have different ideas of what they 461 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:56,100 want. Kind of going. 462 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,600 Forward or the president. Yeah. 463 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,000 And I think Ike signs through really well in the piece. 464 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,900 As it's, you know, the if you've watched like worth the wait, for 465 00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:07,200 those of you who pay attention to men's soccer, if you haven't 466 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,600 seen that, I would highly recommend it. 467 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,500 It's a great look at the early days of the men's soccer program 468 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:17,300 and just the whole process of getting the thing going, which, 469 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,000 you know, we tend to look at things sometimes. 470 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,300 Like we look at IU basketball which seems like it's been there 471 00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:24,800 forever, you know, it's been there since the 1890s 472 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600 essentially. Men's soccer took a long time to 473 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,300 get off the ground and then once it got off the ground it took a 474 00:24:30,308 --> 00:24:33,500 long time to get to the point where it is in the constellation 475 00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:37,500 of US men's soccer programs but once it got there is essentially 476 00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,100 as never left. You know and with Todd it's 477 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:45,800 interesting because you know I I know from my own time in 478 00:24:45,900 --> 00:24:49,300 covering the team. You're right like there's just a 479 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,300 there's this almost reserved nature this really is not laid 480 00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,800 back because it can be a very Tense guy in his own way but 481 00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:00,800 he's very soft-spoken when he when he talks. 482 00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,100 And I think it's really fascinating, kind of capturing 483 00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,700 that and contrasting it with Jerry who's a bit more 484 00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:12,800 boisterous, a bit more direct. And then, you know, you pass 485 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,700 that on to the third generation and it's like, well, okay, that 486 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:19,000 might go in a different direction entirely and it's hard 487 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,800 to say at this point. And certainly, I think if you go 488 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,200 back to when, you know, when Todd was 19, 20 21 years old, 489 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,500 maybe You're seeing the same thing then and it takes a while 490 00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:30,900 for things to mature. So I just as someone who's 491 00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:34,600 followed this program for a long time, it was really cool to kind 492 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,400 of. See the Nuance that existed in 493 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,600 the various stories and how they kind of overlap with one 494 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,600 another. Yeah, I appreciate that. 495 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,300 And the thing about like you said thing about Jerry, you 496 00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:48,100 know, like I said, he's very boisterous and, you know, he 497 00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,700 makes no bones about it. That, you know, he's I mean he's 498 00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:55,600 always trying to do things that keep them around but I remember 499 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,100 Two years ago, kind of you'll see if you read the piece, one 500 00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,400 of the scenes is him sitting in the Press Box. 501 00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:03,800 And I remember two years ago, I was sitting there literally 502 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,700 right next to him, you know, he was there. 503 00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:09,500 I look down, I look back over and he's gone didn't seem rest 504 00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:13,400 of the rest of the match, that's kind of just one of those little 505 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,600 things that, you know, with a family like this, that you might 506 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,500 not notice it, you know, just the amount of pressure and 507 00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:22,300 anxiety. There is whether they like, to 508 00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:25,300 show it or not. I mean, it's definitely a real 509 00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:28,400 thing. Yeah, it's it's going to be 510 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,100 interesting as you said long-term. 511 00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,500 I mean, I think Todd's got the job for a while here if you 512 00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,200 wants it, you know. So I'll be, I'll be interested 513 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,900 to see if this ends up being a multi generational thing, even 514 00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:40,400 beyond what it already is. But but really good work with 515 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,500 that piece. And I hope everybody goes and 516 00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:46,900 checks that out at the Hoosier Network as it's it's a some 517 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,500 really good insights into things. 518 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:52,400 So, so let's talk a little bit more about this current 519 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,500 situation with the team. They struggle a bit coming out 520 00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,100 of the gates. Against st. 521 00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:00,600 Francis and a lot of that appear to be just kind of getting their 522 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,100 legs under them Marquette. Also kind of seem to have I you 523 00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:06,700 on their back heel a bit throughout the course of at 524 00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:10,700 least the first half but that second half it really seemed 525 00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:15,200 like someone something awoke in this IU team and you know 526 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,200 despite the fact that Victor pizarra had an off game, he was 527 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,600 getting blanketed defensively you know. 528 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,100 Really was really hard to get him the ball. 529 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000 I you found a way to score two goals. 530 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,800 To hold off Marquette at the end. 531 00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:31,100 We do you think this how you team has turned a corner? 532 00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,600 Now going into this quarter final? 533 00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:36,600 Yeah, I think I think one thing we kind of saw, well, it was a 534 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,600 theme for this team for a lot of the season. 535 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,300 Was that their first tabs were always a bit sluggish or at 536 00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:46,100 least maybe a little. It took him a little while, you 537 00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:47,300 know, to get their feet under them. 538 00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:52,100 So, I wasn't too much surprised by that more than I was that, 539 00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,900 you know, especially in the same frame, the st. 540 00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:55,900 Francis Brooklyn game. Just the fact that they couldn't 541 00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:58,800 see. I'm to figure out a way to kind 542 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,700 of I guess get I mean game plan around them just because they 543 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:07,900 were doing so many different things that I you hadn't seen 544 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,200 especially in Big Ten play. And it definitely worked for 545 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,300 Saint, Francis Brooklyn. And then at Marquette game. 546 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,000 Like you said, I think it was just a matter of them, kind of, 547 00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:22,000 I think, you know, I'd halftime because Todd yeagley said this 548 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000 in the in the press conference, AJ Palazzolo obviously senior 549 00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:28,900 You kind of rallied the troops. And I think it was it was one of 550 00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:31,600 those moments where it's like our where the, where the, where 551 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,100 the third overall, seed in the tournament, we're better than 552 00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,100 this. I think it was, it was one of 553 00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:39,700 those moments where it was kind of a, you know, we got to put 554 00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,700 our foot down because, you know, obviously, what we saw is safe 555 00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:45,300 or as Brooklyn, game was not their best output and same same 556 00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:46,600 with the first half of the Marquette game. 557 00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:50,900 Yeah, it's it's tough because obviously this how you team is 558 00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:54,400 very talented, but it's also a really weird season, you know, 559 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,100 on a variety of different levels and trying, Figure out, you 560 00:28:58,108 --> 00:29:01,500 know, not just how good you are, but how good your opponent is 561 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,200 and what really to expect on a night in Night Out basis, 562 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,500 especially when you've just played a Big Ten Conference 563 00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,800 schedule and you know you know that measuring stick but you 564 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,700 bring in teams from the Big East it, you know, you end up being 565 00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:18,900 exposed to things that you weren't before and it's to some 566 00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,600 degree. As I was mentioning to have an 567 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,900 earlier. It's what makes this Seton Hall 568 00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:24,800 game, interesting? Because, you know, I you did 569 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,300 struggle with Marquette. They ended up winning. 570 00:29:26,500 --> 00:29:31,400 Game this same Seton Hall team beat that Marquette team for one 571 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,400 in the Big East tournament and has got some pretty big scalps. 572 00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:39,700 So far over the course of their, you know, their season, they 573 00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,600 beat Georgetown. Obviously, they've managed to do 574 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,000 some pretty exciting things. How do you rate them compared to 575 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000 this IU team from a talent perspective? 576 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,800 And where do you think they might pose the biggest threat 577 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,500 for IU? Yeah, they're really heavy on 578 00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:58,800 International Players, which is interesting because I kind of 579 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,300 had that pipeline going, and it's similar to what we saw to 580 00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:05,500 with st. Francis Brooklyn, you know, just 581 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,600 a lot of their talent, you wouldn't, I guess you wouldn't 582 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,600 really find, unless you have kind of fish them, out of those 583 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,300 pipelines overseas, but but one of the things about well, like 584 00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:19,600 you said, Seton Hall, they they'd beaten Marquette before 585 00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:23,500 they're just so, you know, the just so sound like I'm back and 586 00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:27,800 watched their match against Virginia Tech, which was crazy. 587 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,700 They want in penalty kicks 726, their goalkeeper. 588 00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:34,500 Actually finished it off for them, the game-winning goal. 589 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:38,400 But yeah, with seeing all it just they don't do a whole lot 590 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,200 of things that can be capitalized on, right? 591 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,900 They don't, they don't make mistakes that you'd find. 592 00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:47,500 Maybe in an earlier, round matchup in the tournament. 593 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,900 I think those kind of things where I, you really, we saw in 594 00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:52,300 the market in the market match, right? 595 00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:55,000 They had Chances and especially the first half, but they 596 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,600 couldn't take advantage of with a Seton Hall team. 597 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,800 They're going to get very few and, you know, they got to find 598 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,700 a way to find the back of the net, when they are given those 599 00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,700 opportunities. Obviously, you know, sometimes 600 00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:09,600 in these sorts of circumstances, you'll get situations where 601 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:12,600 nobody finds the back of the net, we saw this in the quarter 602 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,400 final few years ago, in Indiana was hosting Michigan State and 603 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,500 that went to PK's and I you had the better goalkeeper that night 604 00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:23,000 and ended up coming away with the victory. 605 00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:24,600 Three. They have a similar kind of 606 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,100 player in Roman Celentano. Who's already won to shoot outs 607 00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:30,600 for them and made a crucial shave at the end of that 608 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,000 Marquette game to keep it from going into overtime. 609 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,300 You know, this is kind of a silly question, but I'll ask it 610 00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:41,100 anyway, like, how important is having a guy like Celentano 611 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,800 between the pipes for? I, you going into a game like 612 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,300 this. I mean, Todd Diego said it best, 613 00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:51,100 you know, there's two things that every championship team 614 00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,500 needs, it's, you know, a proven goal scorer. 615 00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,700 They have then Victor bezerra but more importantly, it's a 616 00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:59,500 goalkeeper who can who's just tough and whose courageous and 617 00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:02,500 not, you know, not afraid to battle for those, you know, 618 00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:06,000 balls in the air and and they have that in Celentano and, you 619 00:32:06,008 --> 00:32:08,500 know, just looking at his demeanor when especially in 620 00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:12,300 those PKS because I don't think he's lost a PK at in his, in his 621 00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:19,100 career in that at IU, which is Just crazy in with him, he's 622 00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:22,600 just always so poised. And there's this one moment in 623 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,100 the Marquette match of the very end. 624 00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:28,300 There was like six yellow cards on IU and it was just super 625 00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:31,500 Scrappy but there was one moment where silence how kind of snatch 626 00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,400 the ball out of midair and you just kind of stared down on the 627 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,800 the Marquette player and it is that kind of I guess attitude 628 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,900 that is I think really allowed him to take that next step and 629 00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:47,200 like I said, he's So confident in that and you know, that's 630 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,800 that's pretty rare. And then, you know, Todd Lata, 631 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,200 Diego, even compared him to guys like trading Muse, just in the 632 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,300 way he goes about his business. It's really something special to 633 00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:59,100 watch. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's really 634 00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,200 been something to watch and it just it kind of feels like 635 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Groundhog Day in a good way. When you follow this, I use 636 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,200 soccer team for a long enough, it's amazing. 637 00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:10,000 You know, they'll lose professional caliber players MLS 638 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800 players and they'll replace them with younger versions of those 639 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,400 players who are just slightly different, but end up, The same 640 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,700 sorts of results. Prediction for the game. 641 00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:20,200 What do you see happening in this one? 642 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:26,500 Well say it stopped, because with that Marquette game, I 643 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,200 thought it was definitely gonna go a little bit different than 644 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,100 it did. You know, could I had to kind of 645 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,900 rally itself here if I had to guess? 646 00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:39,500 I think I think this one looks like it's got over time written 647 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,900 all over it at least. I mean if I had to take a guess 648 00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:47,700 I think You might be able to find a Golden Goal somewhere in 649 00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:53,100 there, so, it's tough. And this is, this is absolutely 650 00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:55,500 dice roll territory and I think you can make an argument, this 651 00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:59,500 is probably the toughest matchup that exist for any team in a 652 00:33:59,508 --> 00:34:04,400 quarterfinal for either team. I mean, like Indiana essentially 653 00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:08,000 right up there. It almost one seed caliber or 654 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,699 top Seed Cow, but they are obviously kind of one of the top 655 00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:15,699 four seeds but Seton Hall also legitimately One of the top 656 00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:18,500 eight teams in the country and with some of the teams that 657 00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,000 we've seen get knocked out of this tournament already Clemson 658 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,199 getting knocked out and Stanford getting knocked out. 659 00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:26,699 Yeah, there's this might be the toughest overall matchup when 660 00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:29,300 you take the overall quality of two teams put together. 661 00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,800 So should be interesting to see. I'm really fascinated to see 662 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,100 what happens. We'll see what happens here on 663 00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:36,900 Monday as Indiana takes on, Seton Hall, Jared, thanks for 664 00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:40,000 joining us and we'll hopefully catch up with you again. 665 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000 If I you does indeed make it to the college cup. 666 00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:43,400 Of course. Thanks Abigail. 667 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:43,900 Mm. Yeah. 668 00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:46,300 All right.

But, you know, as, as Evan 675 00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:08,200 mentioned earlier on, this is really Seton Hall's first time 676 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,700 at this stage and Indiana has been here before. 677 00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:14,400 So there is some institutional memory as far as what needs to 678 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,000 happen and How these sorts of games go and that mental Edge, 679 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,300 can sometimes be the difference between Victory and defeat? 680 00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:24,300 So the Hoosiers taking on Seton, Hall 5, p.m. on Monday, be sure 681 00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,200 to tune in.
