I like this draw for Illinois, we swept Louisville in the regular season and took Minnesota to five at their place. We won't be the favorite against either team, but I think we have a better chance at making a run in this regional than any other. Completely agree, it's a relatively good draw. After an up and down season, Louisville to get to the sweet 16 looks pretty good. And PSU is not 100% too. I do like all the teams in this regional though. I will cheer for whomever gets to Omaha.

I watched the TCU-Texas match where TCU won. Our first match will not be a push over. Haven't seen A and M this year. Anyone seen them?? I trust in the Hawaii block. I'm starting a prayer chain for our passing and setting. Will you like to be included?? I'M IN! Can we add another request to it? TMO please! Lol!

Not to look too far ahead, because Hawaii has some tough matches in there, but should they be lucky enough to face Minnesota in the Regional final, could I repeat for all of Volley Talk, "Minnesota has never beaten Hawaii". LOL. This will be fun.

(per Pablo) Little early to write off Texas A&M. Hawaii is only a 55% favorite against A&M @ College Station. Hawaii a 75% favorite against TCU.
Minnesota probably the easiest subregional.

It will be a fun libero vs. libero match up though.

I don't think anyone is overlooking TCU and A&M Just extremely happy not to play UW or USC in the second round Most believed Hawaii will end up in the west coast for the first two rounds. What does Pablo say about Hawaii vs UW, USC, Stanford, UCLA and BYU? Is Hawaii favored against any of those teams by Pablo??

All you Hawaii fans should not be discussing A&M.........beware of the Horned Frog! TCU has a great coach and have a great collection of talent that is playing to potential right now.

Road matches for Hawaii:
@ Washington - 11% @ USC - 14% @ Stanford - 28% @ UCLA - 35% @ BYU - 30%

Hawaii shouldn't be favored against A&M at all. Isn't A&M the seeded team? Hawaii is bigger and faster than the Aggies IMO. The Aggies are mentally tough, but IMO Hawaii clearly has more physical talent. I like the Bows a lot in this matchup. I will predict a 3-1 win.
