Penn State and Stanford: By the Numbers

209 NCAA tournament match wins between the two programs*
157 times one of these programs has been ranked #1**
15 times the teams have both been ranked in the Top 5 when meeting (including this year)
14 national titles between the two programs
13 times the teams have met on neutral ground (including this year)
7 times a team swept (4-3 Penn State)
6 times the teams have met as No. 1 and No. 2
4 meetings in Palo Alto
3 meetings in State College
2 streaks broken in the series***
2 times in their entire series history that a team was not in the Top 10 when they played each other (2004, #12 Stanford; 2016, #13 Penn State)

Notes:
*Penn State has 94 tournament game wins, while Stanford has 115…including a consolation match win over Pacific in 1983 for 3rd place.
**Penn State has been ranked #1 a total of 88 times in the poll, Stanford 69 times. Only Nebraska (98 times) has more.
***In the season-opening match of 1997, Penn State broke Stanford’s 50-match home win streak at Maples; in their 2010 meeting, Stanford broke Penn State’s 109-match win streak (a streak that started the match after Penn State’s regular-season loss to Stanford in 2007).

Stanford’s Top Competition
Not many programs can claim they have a winning record over the Cardinal—in fact, there are only four. Here are the only five programs that Stanford does not hold a winning record over:

St. Louis (0-1) .000
Michigan (2-3) .400
Hawaii (13-19) .406
Penn State (8-10) .444
Nebraska (6-6) .500

Back on Top
With their ascension to the top spot, Stanford has held the #1 ranking a total of 69 times according to the AVCA record books (Lionsfan thinks that the final polls after the tournament may not count in its records?). That’s 19 short of Penn State’s 88 and 29 short of Nebraska’s leading 98.

I'm almost positive there isn't a live stream. I know someone who sent a very passionate email to Texas A&M, commenting on how ridiculous it is.

[dfw]

I think when you're at a neutral site, you're at the mercy of the home team's broadcast crew. Think they're going to spend the time and money to broadcast 2 out-of-town teams? They have their own broadcast to work on. If there's one, it will be last minute.

[akbar]

in 2017? come on. wtf

[n00b]

The national team didn't stream a home match against Brazil. This is nothing compared to that.

[c4ndlelight]

I mean, can't a parent sit behind the endline and periscope it. Or one of the staffs hook up the scout cam. There's gotta be wifi in-arena.

It's 2017. We have the technology!

Because neither team is SEC it will not be on SEC+, and since this is a three team tourney there is only 1 match a day; TAMU does not play Friday so you will most likely not see any video for match. On the TAMU schedule they have a link for Live Stat, and a link for audio. I guess you may be able to listen to the live audio.

Friday - 6:30 PM CST - Stanford vs Penn St Live Stat, audio
Saturday - 4:30 PM CST - TAMU vs Penn St. SEC+
Sunday - 11:00 AM CST - TANU vs Stanford SEC+

I am surprised the Sunday match is not on regular SEC TV since NFL has not started yet.

I will be there Friday night to watch Penn St. vs Stanford though.

In fairness, Texas has a lot to consider right now -- so those staff people who otherwise might focus on this are perhaps distracted by other things. 2200 students from Texas A&M Gulf Coast were evacuated to the College Station campus. Things are tough.

Yes, Texas A&M also delayed the start of classes for fall semester until Wednesday (yesterday).

A broadcast, if there was to be one, would probably have been set up before the storm hit, but I do find myself pretty disinclined to hassle them about it at this point.

very good.....all I ask is for someone to turn on their IPad and live stream it via facebook at least.

(sorry if I added words)


so lets address that. If Im the AD or asst AD and my Coach somehow worked her magic to get the not one but THE two most storied womens volleyball programs to come to my campus, Im going to make sure its done right and they want to come back.

Heck I might even hope that my program and facilites gets plugged while thousands of young girls and parents watch, in hopes that they tune in Sat and Sun to watch again....and my own team get a chance.

If Im the step child of UT and I have so much junior vb talent in my on state, Im going to shout to the world look what we are able to bring into our gym. Ball seems to have been dropped......if indeed we go with the pretense that TV or livestream is usually planned weeks in advance.

Here, I'll save you the time you would have spent watching something that isn't going to be televised or streamed. Stanford wins in 4.

Unfortunately, this is another reminder at how women's volleyball in the US pales in comparison to women's basketball in terms of prestige.

The National team doesn't have the resources nor budget of TAMU athletic dept or university nor any SEC team.
