UCLA was playing with a young llineup of 3 freshman and 2 sophomores for a stretch of the match.
The turning point of the match was in the second set. It was Long Beach 13 and UCLA 10. The ref signaled ucla point and there was a discussion and the point was awarded to Long Beach. Instead of 13-11 it was 14-10. UCLA never recovered and it went to 19-12. And Long Beach carried the momentum thru the 3rd set.

And Long Beach carried the momentum thru the 3rd set. There weren’t any turning points in any of the sets. LB controlled every aspect of the game in each set. Tuaniga is pretty amazing. He’s able to set up 1x1’s for his hitters consistently and let em’ feast. IMO this is the last year of LB dominance. |

This was painful to watch... But every Long Beach State match is painful to watch. They're just too damn good.
Honestly, if Speraw wants to stay in the 5-1 then it has to be Maleski at OPP. I still think Parks has a higher ceiling and has a great connection with the pins but I'm not against letting Ma'a go it alone. Younggren is a very capable middle who can block, serve, and defend. He just needs to work on his attacking.
It's pretty clear why Charlie Wade has made the decisions he's made in regards to his line-up over the past two years. Rattray has zero consistency and Matatuia can't pass. Seven? He got aced seven times in 3 sets. UCLA is better off letting Eschenberg or someone else get their reps until Missry gets back.

LB is college volleyball's version of the Dream Team, they outclass any team that takes floor against them. Haven't seen HI yet but UCI is next closest in terms of talent, with better overall size. Those two back-to-back matches late in the season will be epic.

Maleski on the right might help but have to give Josh ability to get one on ones. The plan to play parks might have been to help with serve recieve. |

I go back and forth, but that could be that maleski needs to be in just for the size factor. The other issue is UCLA recruiting. Brad Keller is supposed to be the center of UCLA recruiting. What pin hitters has he signed in the last 4 years? What pin hitters has he not signed? Why did UCLA need to sign 3 players this season from Upperclassmen? |

UCLA's roster is stacked with Fab 50 recruits. |

Too much “me” and not enough “us”. ...and...not all Fab 50 players are "that good" Rosie was ranked #3 and Matautia was #4 (I think). Rosie has done an admiral job of being a good passer and defender, but not much of an offensive threat or blocker. I expected more from Matautia. |
