And for those that think going 5 diminishes Utah's case that they should have been seeded, the Utes won 2 more sets against Illinois than Purdue did this season. But 3 less than Michigan

Who's unhappier, Illinois or BYU? Who does Stanford want the least? Utah or BYU? They no doubt want BYU the most. Unfinished business.

One of the shames about this being is a first round match is they've got on elf the toughest subregional hosts up next. Y'all couldn't have put them in College Station, a Hall-less Gainesville, West Lafayette, or wherever the hell WKU is? The Battle for Utah will be a fun one though!

Not to beat a dead horse but setting looked to be the problem of this Illinois squad. Not even a “great” coach like Tamas can even fix. I remember some Illinois fans being so quick to criticize Hambly when Poulter was still doing magic for this team. Well. Brown is a freshman, running a major Div 1 offense in her first year playing. A great coach can fix that. What a great coach cannot change is youth and experience.

No Mica tonight. Doubt she transferred from Auburn to sit the bench in the NCAAs...

Thank God UTAH. Finally won a 5 setter after those 5 setter heartbreaks lol!
Illinois played their hearts out. Will miss Quade in the B1G.

If anything it validated Illinois’ inclusion in the tournament. Where is the Cal fan that angrily stated that at least Cal would be able to give Utah a competitive match?

I never suggested Cal wouldn’t. But they were giving Illinois no respect. My comment was not to detract from Cal’s case. It was to state that Illinois is a much more competitive team than many here were giving them credit for.

remind me again why Cal isn't in this tournament. Because they needed a cupcake to drive into Pitt but wanted to claim they at least put an at-large there.
