Here are the latest numbers (that I can find) for the Shocks and Saint Louis:

RPI (through 22 Nov - not updated again until after tournament)

28 Shocks
29 Saint Louis


RKPI (includes Saturday's matches)

29 Shocks
24 Saint Louis


Pablo Rank

36 Shocks
20 Saint Louis

I do not have access to the raw Pablo numbers. As I recall, the difference between the two numbers suggests the probability of winning.


AVCA Poll

NR Shocks
22 Saint Louis


RK Poll

35 Shocks
23 Saint Louis


As has already been noted, this will be the most difficult First Round match-up the Shocks have had in their four NCAA Tournaments. But given the extra time to do "tape scouting", Lambo always seems to come up with a good plan. Looking forward to the match.

How many are going up to the matches?

At the basketball game I looked up at the Volleyball NCAA Banners and wonder what will this banner say??

VB NCAA
VB NCAA 2nd Round
VB NCAA Sweet 16

It's up to the SHOX on the floor in Ames.

Anyone see the pics of the "Superbus"? ShockerVBall posted on Twitter. Pretty sweet. Tried to post link or pic, but won't. Have to check it out. Worth it.

What! No "Volleyball - NCAA National Champion" as an option?

Pessimist!

I think the program NEEDS this win today. I hope the ladies are focused and ready, I believe they are prepared.

Bring it home Emily!

I'd love to see ST & KW (+ ES, MG, KN, SM, SW, JC, MEH, EA,, etc.) have fantastic weekends and smoke SLU & ISU.

I wish I could stay home and listen to the game or something but tonight begins the HS basketball season. Hopefully I hear good news when I'm done. Time to give the Bilikens a proper Shocker beat down.

The Iowa State video feed is on now.
