Texas wins 3-0, total points scored 123 That's so funny. No one predicted a blowout like this. Everyone overshot the guess on points scored. My guess on points is more appropriate for the Illinois-PSU match, which was 218 points. :/

Penn State over Illinois 3-2. Illinois had several match points in the 4th, but couldn't get it done.

Switched from Illinois to PSU 25 minutes before the deadline, which seemed stupid and then smart, and then stupid and then smart and then like a guy who flipped a coin and is celebrating because it came up heads.

Did you really expect a complete blowout by Texas? I thought this was going to be a hard fought match with TX ultimately prevailing.

Pretty much everyone thought it would be a 4 set match with close scores. You wizard!

I saw a Texas sweep. I thought that unless Yossiana had another freakish match, Baylor had no chance. Baylor hardly sets van der Mark on the right side and Milana has struggled all year. A true freshman middle (McGhee) is a tough matchup against the Texas middles.
