Bringle the Pringle, I don’t want too much Baird in the back. I know last her year blah blah, you want to win or not. What we really need to be doing is set Baird on the pipe. She was our go to OOS in 2021 and probably our best player (sorry Kipp). Idk why we only run Kipp back there when we have two OHs who are more than capable. Maybe it’s a connection thing in practice? In any case y’all need to appreciate how clutch Baird has been this season. She can get tippy and shanky but for the most part she’s played well in the tournament. As other posters mentioned we should be way more worried that we can’t close the block and are getting fooled by hitters we have multiple inches on… They ran Rubin on the bic once against Houston, but I can’t think of the last time they ran Baird. That’s a good question I’m not sure I remember seeing it this season.

Some interesting data below. We had one of the highest attacking percentages of the first two rounds but opponents hit pretty well against us versus the other elite teams. Maybe this is bad defense / serving but more likely we played a very tough Houston team that Pablo has at 15. They are the type of opponent that a #2 seed should have played in the round of 16, not 32. Not that our performance was great but something to consider.....

Hey y’all! I come in peace. Who’s willing to give me some ideas of ways to pass the time when I’m not at the matches in Palo Alto. Staying close to campus, will also have a car. I’d love to pick some of your brains :-)

I’d love to pick some of your brains :-) If you’ve never been to Stanford before just walking around the campus could occupy a lot of time! You could visit Hoover Tower and go to the top for a decent view! If you’re of the hiking sort you can go to The Dish, it’s around 3 miles? not a great view but something to do. You could walk down University Ave for some food and shopping. But yeah there’s really not that much to do in Palo Alto… so you’d be better off going to San Jose or San Francisco!

Do they search bags at maples? Will they let me bring in a candle?
