  • Lady Shocks in Ames - NCAA First/Second Rounds

    Tournament Central

    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.

        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.
        GO SHOX!

          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!

              from the Volleytalk threads:

              In a prediction contest entered by 70 aficionados,

              13 Wichita State
              57 Saint Louis


              In another thread, someone notes the records v the NCAA Top 50 RPI:

              Wichita State (3-4)
              W: Louisville, Oklahoma, Rice
              L: Pittsburgh, UNI(3)

              Saint Louis (2-7)
              W: California, Middle Tennessee State
              L: Penn State, Hawai'i, Texas, Cincinnati, Illinois, Dayton(2)


              Let the games begin ... I mean, sets.

                Don't worry too much about it. Just do all you can do and let the rough end drag.

                  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.
