The Indiana men’s soccer team is the lone Big Ten team that remains in the men’s or women’s NCAA Soccer Tournament. Indiana beat Old Dominion, 3-0, to advance to the Round of 16, where a matchup against top-ranked North Carolina awaits. “BTN Soccer Report” host Kevin Egan is joined on the phone by Soccer By Ives writer John Boschini to preview the game and tell us what Indiana needs to do to advance.
Believe it or not, it’s been five years since iconic Michigan coach Bo Schembechler died one day before No. 2 Michigan played at No. 1 Ohio State in the 2006 season finale, a game many called a BCS National Championship Game preview. Saturday’s Michigan-Ohio State game marks the sixth playing of The Game since Schembechler’s passing. Before the Wolverines and Buckeyes kick things off in Ann Arbor (Read the AP preview), watch former Wolverine and current LSU coach Les Miles reflect on his coach.
If you ask most national observers about John Beilein’s coaching style, you’ll hear phrases like “live and die by the three” or “offensive-minded.” In Maui, Michigan used none of the above to get an impressive win over Memphis. The Wolverines took their threes, sure, but they weren’t particularly good from there. Instead, they dominated the Tigers in the paint, making those national observers’ collective heads explode.
The turnaround has been remarkable. Last year, Michigan finished last in the Big Ten in passing defense (261.9 ypg) and scoring defense (35.2 ppg) and 10th in rushing defense (188.9 ypg). This year, the Wolverine defense is No. 5 (316.0) in the Big Ten overall, vs. the run (131.6) and vs. the pass (184.4). And one of the reasons for the turnaround is end Ryan Van Bergen.
