Love your inclusion of TVW! Hope Cal Poly gives Stanford a fight

[raian13]

David vs Goliath!
Go Stangs!

[Cruz'n]

Really happy to see TVW back on the floor. I feel lucky, frankly.
Tomorrow I hope she plays really well.
How about Cal Poly plays well enough that we can call it a "good showing,"
but not so well as to give me heart problems.
(25-20 or 25-21 sets are ok, but please not closer than 25-22)

[Diggin' Water]

I’m gonna be bold and say Cal Poly in 5.

Amen to that. She's a class act and will hopefully have a long and successful beach career ahead of her.

I'd love to see CP keep it close but I think it's Stan in 3.

[haw2991]

Hopefully TVW plays again tomorrow and plays well

[baytree]

I want TVW and Cal Poly to play spectacularly. And for Stanford to crush Cal Poly in spite of that.

But I'll be very happy with both teams playing good volleyball and Stanford winning.

Same here!

I think Stanford will sweep - but would be nice to see TVW and Gates playing against each other and both not wearing the UCLA jersey.

Why would Pac-12 Network televise the 1st round match, but not the 2nd round match? They already have all their equipment and staff on site. Pac-12 Bay Area does not have another game scheduled in the time slot (just re-runs of old football games).

[oldunc]

What, me worry?

[BeachbytheBay]

obviously this match gets way more interesting with TVW playing

with her and Dvoracek on opposite sides it give Cal Poly some major terminating ability - also TVW is a very good blocker, however her timing is bound to not be ready

Dvoracek didn't serve well yesterday - I look for her to play much looser and bomb away - so Cal Poly may give Stanford some trouble

Stanford in 4

May we assume Ashley Anderson and Holly McPeak aren't working somewhere else today? Holly will probably do color at one of the four regional sites for ESPN... not Austin, as Sunderland and Kiraly are already there and will probably stay there this week before heading to Pittsburgh.

The second-round match figured to be pretty one-sided and even in the Bay Area, Pac-12 Bay Area is a secondary channel not carried in HD (except via network streaming... which isn't an issue for bundled network packages but is for Comcast et al). They might as well not hire play-by-play and color commentators and do a live stream.

Frankly, I'm not sure why Pac-12 Bay Area bothered to cover yesterday's match as a full broadcast. Denver resembles a lesser Pac-12 travel partner (e.g., Oregon State, Arizona). Matches like that are often relegated to live stream status in favor of televising the better travel partner against Cal. Of course, Cal isn't in the tournament.
