    Uh, the other thing being when Binney enters the match Spears sits on the bench. That's even bigger to me than replacing Swindle, and I love both Swindle and Kahahawai.  I think there's something

  • That's going to be a new McCombs graduate diving all over the floor in a few hours.    

  • If Vandy finishes off Cal (leads 2-0), the challenge will end in an 8-8 tie Texas, Bama, MSST and OU all had 5 set wins today

A guy put up a post on volleytalk a couple of days ago that examined how different seeds have fared in the last 3 years once the selection committee shifted to seeding 1-32.

Here's a link to the post:

https://volleytalk.proboards.com/post/4625292/thread

The top 4 seeds have gone 47-1 in the first round, with the only loss Creighton to Auburn, after Creighton lost their super setter to injury. 

The 1 seed has literally never failed to make it to the regional finals, going 12-0 in the regional semifinals.

The 1 seed has gone 9-3 in the regional finals to make it to the Final Four. 

The only non #1 seed to play for the national championship was Texas in 2023. 

The most competitive matches have been:

1) the #4v5, with a 5-5 record and 5 of the 10 matches going 5 sets

2) the #2v3 with a 6-3 record and 4 of the 9 going 5 sets.

3) the 1v2 with a 5-3 record and 4 of the 8 going 5 sets.

Let’s go ladies. Make a statement in match 1

I think we’re going to win.

They're 14-16. The only reason they're in the tournament is because they won the SWAC tournament to be their automatic qualifier. There is nothing to learn from this match. This is literally the worst team - by far - Texas has played this season.

Their mistake

Cal Poly has a server that booms her serve, maybe harder than Parra. USC is struggling to side out when she's serving. 

Yeah. Those serves were crazy. It honestly looked like a men’s team serve. I think she had a 6 point streak in the final set.

As we prepare for the Penn State match, here are the scores from the 6 sets they played against Nebraska this year (Nebraska won all 6 sets). I'm interested to see how our final score compares. 

25-6

25-13
25-14

Need to question the venue's security procedures, because this sophomore brought a weapon to the court. Probably couldn't help us in any other way, but I'd love to have that serve at our disposal next year.

Unless she was committed to being a DS, no way we’d ever go after a 5’10 OH. A 6 rotation one at that in her freshman year. Easy to get away with in a mid major conference
