How does this work? I see on the site:
Lewis plays @ Ball St 5 - 4
Quincy @ Loyola 6-3
Mercy @ IPFW 7-2
OSU bye.
Fine. I get that. But after round one, who plays whom? And, forgive my ignorance, but what is the deal with the MIVA? The standings show 2 conference divisions, but the "Coleman" isn't involved in the tourney. Only the "Shondell/Dunlap." (whaaa?)

Coleman is strictly Division III schools. The dividsion was created so that hopefully more D III schools in the midwest would go varsity with their club programs. Getting enougth teams in the conference would land and automatic birth in the D III final four. I believe this is correct anybody know for sure?

First round:
Lewis beats BSU....5: (going out on limb, but not by much)
LUC beats Quincy...3:
IPFW beats Mercy...3:
Semi's:
That School in Columbus edges Lewis...4
IPFW beats LUC....5
Finals:
IPFW destroys That School in Columbus....4:

Loyola is riding high after running over Penn State. There should be some great matches in deciding who is going to the final four.
I think it is almost anyones to win.

The Coleman playoffs existed in 2006 as that winner played into the main MIVA Tournament. There is no Coleman tournament this year. I don't know why. Anyway, I predict a Loyola Lewis championship match with Loyola winning 5-0.

How can Loyola win 5-0? Score a safety at the final whistle? Or they play 5 regardless in the MIVA? Tough conferrence.

Thanks for the info, beachboy. I take it that in Columbus, we'll see Ohio State play the Lewis/Ball State winner and Quincy/Loyola play Mercy/IPFW? I take it these matches are at 5/7pm?

Having watched Loyola play against PSUs fast offense, I can't see OSU reaching 20 pts against Loyola. Remember...OSUs setter plays "slow-high VB."
BSU can't play with either.
Lewis has great digging and passing, but has no coaching. If the games are close Lewis will get out-coached. Dayton can't do it all.
IPFW easily gets intimidated by real universities. Inferiority complex?

Is this the same Loyola that lost to OSU 30-17, 30-21, 31-29 in Columbus? With TWO total blocks, were the Loyola blockers sitting out? I don't know.. were there injuries? Seriously, I don't know why that's an assumption here... unless you only count the last game they played together (15-30). I'm not being sarcastic; I guess I'm missing something here. |

This coming from a team that didnt even come close to beating OS, at all. Loyola and BS seemed to do it pretty easily.

Fanatics, I love them!!! Of your listed reasons, only injuries make a lick of sense. I'm not sure how a VB player is "overused." Is Alex Gutor "overused?" He never left the court in the 5 games in Columbus. And however you care to criticize Matthews, I believe he did set his team to a 3-game sweep of Loyola, which was the match in question. My point is that you doubt that the Buckeyes can get to 20 against a team they already swept. And I just wanted to know who wasn't playing, blocking, etc when OSU beat them. (e.g., PSU lost to Loyola without Gutor). Fanatic? Naw, I was the only sensible guy in my circle who warned how fast and hungry Florida's football team was in January. I'm no pessimist, but I sometimes dampen the party with realism. And I have no expectations for the MIVA tourney, but regardless of that, I'll be cheering on my Buckeyes bedecked in 100% cotton scarlet & grey.  |

Please don't forget that Loyola did the same exact thing to OSU. OSU "Must" have had a bad night, right?
The MIVA crown is up for grabs.
