In terms of 1st round games, and playing against someone not on their home court: UCLA, Colorado, and BYU. Though I think BYU will end up with home games in the 1st 2 rounds. And in terms of later rounds, I still have to go with BYU. They've been my dark horse team to get to the final 4 all year.
And of course, homer pick for me, Oregon. Though if they hadn't won the last 2 matches the way they did, I'd probably wouldn't have. They have one of hte most explosive and confusing offenses in volleyball. x's, double quicks, triple quicks, double slides, etc... When it's on, it's a thing of beauty. Their issue has been closing out sets and matches, at least in their losses. And it seems like they've learned to dig deep and close well, at least they did against ASU and UCLA in their recent matches.

Well with Washington Huskies injury that changes things. I would say that nobody wants #8 seed PSU.

I would say Florida, they looked good against Texas today. I wish I could say Hawaii, but unfortunately it doesn't like like they will make a deep run.
I would also fear Long Beach State, they've been playing well as of late.
Other schools I wouldn't want to face in the first three rounds (other than the big schools): Illinois and North Carolina

How far do you think Hawai'i will go? First two rounds?

How far do you think Hawai'i will go? First two rounds? Depends on the draw and which Hawai'i team shows up. The Wahine have the talent to compete but have struggled to put it all together this season. My guess is their ceiling is the regional semi finals this season, next year it'll be a different story though.

But yes, next year will be a different story!

If Hawaii doesn't show up tonight, things could get interesting for them even making the tournament. Have they beaten a tournament team? Northridge maybe? Ohio has lost two in a row, which doesn't help.
