Actually, I think Courtney Thompson and Bryn Kehoe are both pretty good at converting bad passes into well-set balls as well. Bryn's better at converting that pass into a double. Luckily, Stanford's passing is always better than average.

Offensively UCLA scored 65% of their points when Nana was in the front row. That's a startling statistic.

If we're talking about reaching the Final Four, I strongly agree with ay2013. There are about 8 teams that have an equal claim to "title contender" based on potential, but in the postseason very few teams go deep without a specials setter who can keep the transition tempo from spinning out of control. I actually think on paper Texas should be #3 just barely behind Stanford, but setters at the other top 8 programs are a notch above when it comes to the transition and out of system plays that are the standard in regional finals. The FF has more hype because the stakes are so high, but we all know that the best volleyball matches - long rallies, trading sideouts, fifth game barnburners - usually take place in the regional finals. You don't think Moriarity is one of the better setters in the nation? You surely can't be placing Washington's first year setter ahead of her. ummm I think Moriarity is a proven player and Washington's setter is yet to be seen so OF COURSE Florida's Setting is better than Washington's, but I think Washington's defense is better than Florida's... let me clarify how I compare UW/UCLA with Texas/Florida UCLA is better than Texas and Florida at the setter position UW is better than Texas and Florida with defense
