"Picture perfect. Watching her shape has helped me a lot visualize what I need to do."


I'll take things a male coach absolutely cannot say for $600, Alex.

Actually, I think I have heard Lambo say that or something very similar to that. I do agree that Annalie has a nice shape.

This quote from the BG on VT-

I was also thinking.... could Western Michigan do something special? Of the 4-seeds, who is the most likely to pull an upset?

I was thinking College of Charleston over Utah and Wichita State over SMU were maybe my only contenders. Wofford over Baylor, but Baylor has been very good at not losing when they shouldn't.

First game done and my hopes for a perfect bracket are gone.

Loyola Chicago takes down #5 seed BYU in 3 sets- 20 21 17

Missouri 3-0 Texas State
16, 22, 22

Down 8-15 in the third set, the Tigers score six in a row to get back into the set and eventually close out the match.

Evollve, another stats site with predictions, has SMU at 97%.


Critter's Pa, they also had BYU at 84%.

UTA serving at 23 all.....out of a timeout.....in the net. UNREAL how many service errors out of a timeout.

They save one set point, but that's it. 26-24 USC. SC has a middle (#12 a freshman!) that's maybe 6-2 200, at least...mobile...just more than a handful for anyone on the other side of the net. So strong and powerful, especially on the block. Their 4 year setter (AA) at 5'9" (#91) could also probably find a spot as an edge rusher or Mike LB for the Men of Troy if she wanted. Strong, physical bunch. SC also has 2 players not playing out of their regular rotation. Probably resting for the next round. 2nd set is out of hand early for UTA.

Mizzou handled Texas State in set 1 but TSU is battling in set 2, leading at the break 15-14. Nice team....if they can hang in there and win this 2nd set they might surprise Mizzou.

I thought Western Kentucky might get Minnesota but the Gophers are just too much for the Hilltoppers. Goldie leads 2-0 and 8-5 in the 3rd.

What they don't take into account is that I have been wearing my lucky socks since the AAC tourney. That has to be good for two or three percentage points.

Missouri beats Texas state 3-0. 16 22 22

USC beats UT Arlington 3-0. 24 7 21 USC hit .812 in the second set (13 0 16).

That would only be factored in if you were sitting right behind the SMU bench with your shoes off.

These are the only live stats I can find.

Morgan has a solo block of Natalie early in the first set. :)

Hey Frosty! Damn it, Swifty!

26-28. Service return errors late.

Tough way to lose.

[1972Shocker]

Tough way to lose.

Indeed. But perhaps the Shocks will bet a little confidence boost that they can play with SMU. We'll see.

Second set starting to get away from us.

Now it's gone from 4-4 to 7-13.
