I expect it will be a highly competitive tournament. Rooting for Cal Poly to boost the Big West RPI, with Hawai'i as my second favorite team, and this gives them a great opportunity to do so. I may watch a couple of the matches if I am around Friday and Saturday.

[JJVb]

Northern Colorado is a good team with a great setter. Id say they are favored, but all these teams are capable.

Omaha switched to a 5-1 last weekend and performed a lot better (beating UCSB and losing to Pepperdine in 5).

[BeachbytheBay]

this should be an interesting tournament.

can see any team beating another. Omaha has played a pretty tough schedule. Any team that can go 3-0 will really hep their resume. All these teams could win their conference championship and likely in the top 3 of their conference.

SOS of these teams to date.

Omaha 19
Cal POly 38
NOrth Colorado 79
Wichita 18

I'll be interested to see if Omaha continues with the 5-1 this weekend. The setter (Leuck) is capable as a setter but is a significant blocking liability.

POLY will be playing three matches in three days.

Could be an endurance question.

[BeachbytheBay]

Omaha beats NOrth Colo 3-1, to pick up their 2nd win

[BeachbytheBay]

playing a 5-1 as well. some comments about the 6-2 being better.

[flyingMoose]

Wichita State 3-2 Cal Poly
22, (20), (19), 21, 9

Friday Matches

Omaha 1-3 Cal Poly
21, 18, (22), 19

Northern Colorado 3-1 Wichita State
20, 25, (15), 23


All teams are 1-1 at this point.

[BeachbytheBay]

I guess Wichita State didn't want to bother take the time to broadcast the Poly Northern Colo match, even though it's listed on ESPN+

thanks!

NC comes back to win set 1, even in set 2.

[BeachbytheBay]

Poly somehow regroups down 21-18 late 3rd set to stay alive 25-22 on a big Stockham serving run, lol

Poly lives by Stockham points, and dies by Stockham passes.

It was always the case that only the Wichita State matches would be on the Plus. An early version of their site listing the streamed matches may have been in error.

Poly looks to be pulling out a reverse sweep
