I think Stanford's region is pretty tough. I would rather have ASU and Texas somewhere else.

I disagree. I'm pretty happy with their bracket. It won't be easy, but it could be worse.

(Unless you're assuming it's BYU they face and not ASU as per the seeds, in which case I agree)

I’m def worried about ASU though, so hopefully Georgia takes them out

(Unless you're assuming it's BYU they face and not ASU as per the seeds, in which case I agree) I think it could be either of them, but im still confident that a stanford team PLAYING GOOD is going to beat both of those teams. stanford did not play good at all in that match. they played terribly. if they play terribly, I dont expect them to beat those teams

Sure, but when you've only lost 3 times all season and that particular loss was the worst of the bunch by big set margins I wouldn't feel comfortable being like "No prob" seeing their name pop up in my portion of the bracket

ASU vs BYU at Smith Fieldhouse --> that's a tough ask for ASU. I'd rank Smith as one of the best home court advantages.

We lost to ASU on a sleepy Sunday noon match, 2nd match of road trip. They beat us by 24 on their floor; we beat them by 26 on our floor. I'm honestly not worried about facing ASU at Maples.
However, I believe that is a moot point, as I doubt ASU will get past BYU. They should beat Georgia though.

It’s not the best draw, but it isn’t the toughest (think Pitt and Wisconsin).
I like the potential rematch with Houston in the 2nd round - they have been underwhelming this season in a stronger conference.
And a potential regional semis with either BYU or ASU. I personally feel like since we are hosting, ASU will be easier to beat. I don’t have any idea about BYU - they are tough in Provo.. but they will be in Palo Alto. So it is going to be different.
And always love having Texas around. We beat them many times during the Plummer era and I think we will be able to handle them at Maples.
I honestly thought the committee is going to send Penn State to Palo Alto - well I’m wrong!

And I really hope this special group of Seniors we have - can go to a Final 4 after the Plummer era.

And I really hope this special group of Seniors we have - can go to a Final 4 after the Plummer era. Kipp, Baird and Vicini were essentially just onlookers in 2019. They have a taste of what the final four is; but this time they can be more active participants. And of course Tufuga and A. Smith were not on the team in 2019. Man, you got me thinking about that sweep of Wisconsin in the final. That performance by Plummer has got to be one of the most dominating ever. So unstoppable.
