I tried downloading that realplayer so I could listen to the game and couldn't get it to work properly. Did JR play?

Lewis was underwhelming. Lots of serving and hitting errors, people in the net, people under the net. Fairly sloppy at times. Barreto had 15 kills, but hit only .179 as the Bruins keyed on him in the late games. Just didn't look like the same team from last year. Peters set the whole match for UCLA and looked great, giving Gonzales the night off. Recap: uclabruins.ocsn.com/sports/m-volley/recaps/030304aaa.html |

I also attempted to download the RealPlayer to listen to the game. Talk about confusing! Than I found out it was a 2 3/4 hour long process. So I give up and decide to cancel the account. Do you think you can do that on-line. Surely not. You have to call them via phone the next day in order to cancel.
According to the UCLA site, JR did not play in the game although he did made the trip to LA. I would like to see him in the lineup again. He is truly a talented setter with hands like butter as well as a great field general.

After all of the articles I have read on his questionable eligibility, it doesn't look like the 28 yr. old Lewis setter will be stepping onto the court anytime soon. At least not in a game. Scates claims in that article that he knows players who have played professionally with JR. He is a great setter and was fun to watch at the final four last year. He is also 10 years older than this year's Freshmen.

DaRookie, it took 20 minutes on hold and then a small but quick argument to get it cancelled but I did it. They want to refer you to a tech support to help you get it working. I finally told him that the game I wanted to hear was already over so I didn't want to keep it anyway.
Good luck!
Red Yukon, what articles are you reading? I haven't been able to find anything written about JR

Benwhipdrofin...It was almost 30 minutes of "on hold" this morning to cancel the account. Quite a little scam they have going on...like a quick signup and a lotta hoops to jump through to get out of it. Maybe thats why the free trial period is so long because the cancellation line is also very long.
It may not have been a problem if I had a high speed connection versus the old dial up but my extra money goes to higher education instead of higher speed. Maybe I should change my name to DaTurtle
Lewis has only 4 more home games this year. Are you planning on attending any more of them? I may be able to fly up for the semifinal-final weekend to catch some live action once I can figure out where it may be held. I did note that the new Volleyball April Issue shows that the Lewis-BYU game on 3/26 will be televised on CSTV DirecTV channel 610. This issue also had some nice coverage of the CheddarsTournament. I hope you had the chance to take some of your team to the games to watch.

I do go to most of the home games at Lewis. I will be at the Quincy, Ball State and Loyola games. I don't know who is hosting the MIVA finals yet.

The MIVA semi's and finals will be held at the schoool that is the highest remaining seed in the tournament after the quarter finals.

Possibly! But who knows. We'll definately know more in the next couple/three weeks.
The top four teams in the conference host the other four teams (I'm thinking that the last place team doesn't qualify for tournament, but I may be wrong).
Then if #1 is left, they are the host for the semi's and finals and if #1 is out and #2 is left then they are the host.

Right now it's Ball, IPFW, Loyola and Ohio and Lewis are tied for 4th. Ball and IPFW are about 2 1/2 hours from here...Loyola and Lewis would be more ideal, but Loyola's gym is small, but I"m sure for this they would use the larger gym, but where the heck is that. I was lucky to find the Alumni gym. However, I would like to see the other schools.

I was agreeing with Sylvester on this but your post made me go to the MIVA website. You may be right. I was interpreting "top seed" to mean the top seed left in the tournament but now I'm not sure. I'll have to find someone to ask. Where is Roofan when you need him? ;D
