The article says "Coach Al Scates has defeated USC more times than any other UCLA coach." YOU THINK?? He's only been there 40+ years!! They've got a real genious writing for them.  |

Based on previous releases by UCLA, I think this match will not actually accumulate points in the Lexus Gauntlet Cup. UCLA has already won the first two matches this year against USC, and I believe those two matches counted for points. I may be wrong though. |

That's what I'd thought too, but the ad running in the papers, and this Gauntlet web site say otherwise: gauntlettrophy.ocsn.com/calendar/gauntlet-schedule.htmlBy the way, that site says the match is erroneously scheduled for March 31. It was moved to the 30th at UCLA, 7PM, with it airing on April 1st. |

Yeah, the match was changed about a month ago to 1.) a scheduling conflict with something else at the arena on April 1 and 2.) allow for TV.
It does seem strange why the points would not accrue in the two conference matches versus one that was played in a non-conference, early season tournament on a neutral court.

UCLA has already captured the possible 5 points awarded for men’s volleyball, based on its pair of earilier victories over USC this season.

uclabruins.ocsn.com/sports/m-volley/spec-rel/033004aaa.htmlBruins and Trojans Battle Tonight in Pauley Pavilion Third-ranked UCLA returns to action to prepare for playoff stretch. March 30, 2004 Following a 15-day layoff, the No.3-ranked UCLA men's volleyball team returns to action tonight by hosting cross-town rival USC in Pauley Pavilion at 7 p.m. The rivalry match will be televised by FoxSports West2 for a delayed broadcast on Apr. 1 at 8 p.m.. Veteran broadcaster Chris Marlowe will call the play-by-play. UCLA Hall of Famer Karch Kiraly will serve as the analyst. Lou Riggs and former UCLA All-American Paul Nihipali will call the match for UCLA's online radio at www.ucla.bruins.com. The Bruins have defeated the Trojans twice this season by 3-0 scores. UCLA has won 23 of the last 24 matches dating to 1992 and leads the overall series, 80-29. Coach Al Scates has defeated USC more times than any other UCLA coach. With six regular-season matches remaining, including two at home against top-ranked BYU Apr. 8 and 9, the Bruins hope solidify the home court advantage for the first round of the league playoffs. The top eight teams in the MPSF standings earn a berth in the conference playoffs, scheduled to start on Apr. 24, and the top four seeds serve as hosts. The highest remaining seeded team after the first round hosts the league semifinals and finals, Apr. 29 and May 1. The winner of the MPSF Tournament earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Championships at Hawaii, May 6 & 8.
