How many blocks did IPFW have? ;D

Funny Rocky! The answer is ... not enough!

Da** , doesn't sound like we came to play at all. .083 for the match ... that's bad!

[Rocky]

IPFW outblocked UCSB 11.5 - 9.

You are right midwest . . . not enough. Not enough of other things (like kills, aces, digs, etc) either.

[midwestfan]

Actually, it was the other way around. UCSB outblocked IPFW 11.5 - 9.

I'm disappointed. I thought we'd get beat, but I was hoping we'd look better than this.

Oh well, good learning experience

[Rocky]

My bad. I guess I was trying to give the stat edge to IPFW and unintentionally I did. OOPS.

[midwestfan]

You're one of our stat people in disguise aren't you? ;D

Thanks for your effort in giving us the "home court" advantage.

[Rocky]

I tried.
