I just watched Canisius 3-1 win over Quinnipiac on ESPN3, there were about 10 people in the stands. Awful volleyball and announcers; after Canisius took the final point, play-by-play guy says, "game, set, match ..." Watched it too. Oh God he was soooooooooo bad!!! I don't know how these people get these gigs. Was that in the MAAC at Disney? I gladly would have done the play-by-play for that!

Yeah let's settle who wins the conference with a regular season champion...with an unbalanced schedule. That makes sense. Yea, kinda wish the B1G would have a conference tournament

They use an 8-team, double elimination format (slightly different from years past). Four teams will play three matches today and at the end, 4 teams will be eliminated, 2 teams will be 2-1 and 2 teams will be 2-0 heading into Championship Sunday. Bracket

OVC playoffs aired on ESPN3 - they should be ashamed of themselves. ZERO production value - no commercial breaks, no replays, one announcer (who was terrible). I had to turn the final off, I couldn't watch it because it was so bad despite the level of play being so good. UGH!!!!!!

Conference Tournaments are so stupid! It's just an opportunity for bad conferences to get more bids than they deserve. Alternately, it's a chance for the team that wins the most matches in the regular season to sit at home and watch some other team go to the tournament just because they won one match. But for many conferences, the conference tournament is the only tournament action that most of their teams are going to see, so why deny them the excitement?
