Hoosiers to Make 50th Overall, 39th Consecutive Appearance
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The NCAA men's soccer committee awarded Indiana men's soccer the No. 6 national seed on Monday (Nov. 17), including a first-round bye and a second-round home match.
As the No. 6 national seed, IU is guaranteed to host through, at least, the NCAA Round of 16 should it continue to advance. On Sunday, Nov. 23, the Hoosiers will host the winner of Saint Louis and Kentucky – two teams Indiana previously defeated during the regular season. Kickoff is set for noon ET, and tickets are on sale here.
Indiana is one of 16 programs in the 48-team field to earn a national seed, its 11th in 12 seasons and NCAA record 25th overall. 1995-1996 – when four teams received seeds – was the last two-year period in which the Hoosiers did not earn a seed.
IU will make its 50th NCAA Tournament appearance, a mark that ranks No. 2 in the NCAA and No. 1 since 1973, IU's first season as a varsity program. It's also Indiana's 39th consecutive appearance, an NCAA record and the only active double-digit streak in NCAA Division I.
Indiana also holds the NCAA Tournament records for victories (105) and appearances in the round of 16 (43), quarterfinals (29), final four (22) and national final (17). The program's eight national titles rank No. 1 since 1973.
