USC competed and played really hard. Blocking really hurt them.
I loved their fight in the 1st and 4th sets.
If injured players are wearing head phones and sunglasses during a match I was wondering where were the portable beds or recliners for them?

part of the concussion protocol: no bright lights, no loud noises, limit amount of stimulation. As someone said due to the Hodson/stanford situation nobody is taking any chances

I spent most of the night watching the Sounders make their dramatic exit from the MLS playoffs. I won't be watching MLS anymore this season.
Yes, this match gets a big asterisk. Nevertheless, the Huskies did show improvement in some areas and that's really the key question with this young team. I thought the serve receive by the Huskies was better than USC's though still lots of room for improvement. Blocking was better, albeit against a depleted team. It is interesting how, when it comes to individual players in individual games, these young Huskies are consistently inconsistent. With the exception of Powell, Bajema (usually), and McPherson, it's really hard to predict who is going to have a good match. Sanders was an offensive force tonight but has been invisible other nights. Drechsel can hit close to 0 in one match and hit .500 in another. Hoffman returned to earth from her game against Arizona. The serving/serve receive game is also inconsistent. One of Cook and Co's big challenges for the remainder of this season and next is to coax more consistency out of individual players from match to match.

It was at the Oregons. Botkin got hit in the head by a ball vs Oregon. She was out for the game vs Oregon State. Then I think Lanier and Mayer-Whalley ran into each other in the Oregon State game. Lanier came out a bit after that and Mayer-Whalley wasn't ID'd as potentially having a concussion until after the game (bc of later symptoms). Cal Libero Robin Rostratter Will Botkin, Lanier and Reni Meyer-Whalley be wearing helmits once they are checked out and allowed to resume play?

Actually - the committee can consider the * in USC’s case - injuries Will they, though? Who provides them that information?
That is, how do the assess how much an injury (or injuries) affected a match?
I believe they might be able to consider current injuries, which could impact a team's competitiveness, going forward into the playoffs, in selection or seeding decisions. What they won't do is go back and discount a Top 25-RPI win because the opponent, at the time, was missing key players. UW will get full credit for the win.

Two players ran into each other on the court. Surprised that doesn't happen more often, especially when a couple players are scrambling to make a pancake dig. Coaching staffs, rightfully, are being extra cautious with players after the Stanford/Hodson case. Yeah, they don't want to get SUED for not following their own concussion protocols. Hodson is going to walk away with a BIG check.

Hey, I'm confused about something. I haven't been able to find out for sure because nobody has mentioned it, but maybe did USC have a few injured players?

Hey, I'm confused about something. I haven't been able to find out for sure because nobody has mentioned it, but maybe did USC have a few injured players? Yeah, they resorted to playing a "mixmaster" lineup, forcing UW to play without the benefit of a scouting report and in front of a near empty arena, causing UW to spray 15 serves out-of-bounds and into the net, due to EASDS ("empty arena sightline distortion syndrome"), which is well-attested in the secondary literature on the topic. Almost worked, but not quite.

Almost worked, but not quite. USC lost about 8kills per set, 66% of its passing, and an overwhelming amount of defending. Any coach would take that over no scouting report!
