1. WSU beat Arkansas in the first round. 2. People from Arkansas cannot pronounce English: Pronounce Arkansaw Now pronounce Ar kansas3. Look at the connection between the words KANSAS and Ar KANSAS. It's a joke. The Arkansas river is pronounced "Arkansaw" in Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas but it is pronounced "Arkansas" in Kansas. People in Kansas know how to pronounce the language.  ;D Thank you. I was really questioning my sanity today! Oh, never mind, that is every day but today I get a pass. |

I'm so happy to get USC here, I've watched them play in the last 2 final fours LIVE and I love miss "dig everything" Hagglund. Don't count out Wichita State, they are very capable of beating USC on a neutral court...USC lost to ASU, a team that Oklahoma beat LOL...just saying.. but I would love a Texas vs. USC match up....Bricio, amazing...let's see what they can do against powerhouse hitters like Texas...TEXAS HAS TO PASS THOUGH to run their hitters. I love my Sarah Palmer...very much....and she can run the back court this year...TEXAS FIGHT!!

I have always been a fan of Coach Lamb and his team. I will be rooting for them to pull off the upset.

Texas has hitters, too bad they have no defense and lousy ball control.

Texas is a VERY different ball club now, Illinois and Wisconsin are the same 'ol boring teams. It's gotta be pretty shocking to go from a National semi finalist to not even making the tournament. Laugh all you want, I wasn't knocking USC, I'm glad they get to come to Austin, I have all the respect for Mick and his wife, whom I know very well so say what you will. Just remember If Texas makes the final four or not, at least they made the tourney. Oh and so did ASU! |

Texas has hitters, too bad they have no defense and lousy ball control. Barefoot, first I'd like to say I was in Hawai'i in 2009 when Texas came and romped your court clean of all teams that were there, but the best thing about it was the fans. The Wahine really know how to pack an arena and they were very nice people. Texas will be back next year in pre season in your tournament, not sure if you know that or not so we are all looking forward to coming back to you islands. No disrepect to you at all. I watched the Washington Hawai'i match and OMG that was some D. That's what volleyball is all about, it was amazing, this year I do feel Hawai'i got a bad draw, that match should of happened in the sweet sixteen or elite 8. I love the Wahine! I'm a Texas fan through and through but Hawai'i played very well. Come on though, I can see you downplaying Texas for ball control somewhat but defense as far as blocking, no way. Texas is one of the best when it comes to blocking this year. Ball control not so much, but I'm sure all the coaches are aware. Good luck to everyone! Hook em! |

I am also happy to see the Horns again next season. Should be a fun match. |

TEXAS HAS TO PASS THOUGH to run their hitters. USC has an extremely balanced serve. Bricio comes with a very hard top-spin jump from a two hand toss, Yoder & Crone bring a less hard top-spin jump off one-hand toss. Hagglund, Shaw, Fuller, all have effective float serves. It will be interesting to see what Texas struggles with. USC's passing on the other hand will depend on if Texas can keep the ball away from Natalie Hagglund and Sara Shaw. If they can target Fuller and Bricio effectively, it will increase their chances dramatically. |

Is it just me or does "everyone" (on VT) seem to be overlooking Florida? |

With everyone but McNeal coming back for Texas and everyone but Maeda coming back for Hawaii that should be some match. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea. |
