Just to update, game time temp is probably going to be about 36F, with a snowstorm moving through later tonight. So the semis should be clear of precipitation.
And btw, this is JUST like the women's tournament - semifinals with the possibility of going late into the night Friday (as UCLA's PK win over Duke did), followed by a 12 noon Eastern Time (EDIT: Seems to be actually 1:00 pm) start on Sunday for the final. 36 hours of recovery time before the ultimate match of the season. That, bluntly, is wrong. Couldn't they do the Saturday afternoon-Monday night thing, if they can't spread the games out any more?
BTW, the other semifinal features Grant Lilliard, the Indiana central defender and one of the three Hermann semifinalists, with Tomas Hilliard-Arce and Wake Forest's Grant Bakero (who really no-showed in the quarter last weekend). He's the guy who was red-carded in Stanford's match against the Hoosiers in Bloomington last year. That could be an interesting matchup in the final.
