BREAKING: #1-seed Pittsburgh falls in 5 to Arizona in the Round of 32 behind 55 combined kills from Jordan Wilson and Jaelyn Hodge in a battle of the big cats Lmao and ent they outsides? one outside, one opposite funny enough, Arizona is like a really, REALLY off brand version of Pitt. run the offense through an outside and opposite while the other outside is there to stabilize serve receive, play defense, and serve tough. one really great middle and one that’s a lot less experienced that doesn’t get set all that much. dynamic setters imo (obviously Fairbanks is better). we run a 2-lib system like yall flirted with earlier this season, and neither team DS’s any of the pins. Arizona just can’t do anything to Pitt’s level lol. except back row attack probably |

But I’ve only been watching Big 12 for the last month. Is Wilson OH1? The last time I saw Arizona play was against the munchkins of Kansas. Fairbanks is not an incredible blocker but she’s certainly stronger than Turner. If anyone on Zona’s team can attack back row like Babcock, they should transfer yesterday. |

Heading into the final week of play, if I were sitting on the committee, I'd be handing out the following seeds: 1 - Nebraska (Oklahoma) 8 - SMU (Marquette) 9 - ASU (USC) 16 - Florida (Georgia Tech) 2 - Pitt (LMU) 7 - Wisconsin (FSU) 10 - Texas (BYU) 15 - TCU (Texas A&M) 3 - Louisville (Tennessee) 6 - Creighton (Miami) 11 - Kansas (Missouri) 14 - Purdue (Baylor) 4 - Penn State (North Carolina) 5 - Stanford (Minnesota) 12 - Kentucky (Dayton) 13 - Utah (Oregon) 5 Seeds: Oregon, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M 6 Seeds: Dayton, USC, BYU, Missouri 7 Seeds: Miami, Marquette, FSU, Minnesota 8 Seeds: Tennessee, LMU, Oklahoma, North Carolina *( ) is the sub regional seeded opponent This feels very accurate except I’d probably swap Baylor and TCU. Florida-GT, Kansas-Missouri, Texas A&M-TCU/Baylor, ASU-USC, Utah-Oregon seems pretty inevitable as NCAA loves to restore old conference rivalries or geographic ones. Big brand name matchup like Stanford-Minnesota seems like it fits the bill too. |

That’s quite a bit of Big 12 bashing for only watching the conference for a month. 🤔 |

As for Washington, please lets lose (I know, sounds awful, but whatevs) to Purdue and USC. I'd rather take my chances in the bracket being unseeded than to be the 8 seed. Fingers crossed to end up in the following sub regionals: Any Big 12 team. F that, I want to at least beat the University of Spoiled Children, I honestly don't think they're that good & had we been healthy when we faced them in LA we would've beat them. As for Purdue, I do believe we can beat them being healthy & I obviously always want to win but know that will be a tough one. Also, yes of course I would rather go into the tourney unseeded than as an 8 seed & that's what's so frusterating to me with this team this year because I know the talent is there, thank god for more depth this year & when healthy I feel they can compete with almost any team in the country. It boggles my mind granted it was an unhealthy team for both UCLA matches, Michigan, Ohio State but manage to beat Minnesota, split with Oregon & even play Penn State relatively tough today. I just wish this team would've been healthy all year because I do think they have some solid talent & provided they go into the tourney healthy (knock on wood) they'll be a scary team for a host to potienally have to face. |

I got ESPN+ recently since the conference has 5 ranked teams. |

If NC State beats Miami but not SMU this week, is that enough to get another common opponent win on Virginia to move past them?

I know they will never put someone against each other in first round who are in the same conference. Does the same hold true in the second round as well? Curious if they set up to avoid in rd of 32 as well.

Wilson is L2 because we want to set her back row a lot. she made the best back row attackers list *BEFORE* she started going absolutely insane http://instagram.com/p/DBbmMXzvZXF |
