Bower had quite a stat line: 8 kills and no errors on 11 attacks (.727), 46 assists, 26 (!) digs, 3 aces, 4 blocks.

Pepperdine is the better team. So a new system? It’s not who wins 3 games it’s who Spenc 🤔 “thinks” is better? Interesting. . .THINKING . . . With your system why are we even wasting our time in Omaha this year? Just draw up the bracket and YOU can just determine who wins the tournament using your ultra secret, double probation system of “who the better team is”. . . You are going to revolutionize the theory of using actual playing and scoring to determine who wins and who loses. . . #fromTHEneverPLAYEDtheGAMEcorner #SPENC get er’ done. . . 🤷🏻♀️ |

These two teams just went 1-1 in two days. That doesn’t tell us much - one team isn’t better than the other solely based on matches won. So, if winning games is the only logic as you pointed out, fine, Pepperdine just went 5-3 against BYU. That would suggest, using your own logic, that madden54 was right in that Pepperdine is the better team. |

How one ref called that Scully hit in, one will never know. Match point shouldn’t have gone to the pepp middle. Great match nevertheless. That call was absurd. It was hard to tell exactly how far out it was from the available camera angles, but it wasn't even close. |

What was the call on that play (I think in the fifth set) where Grimmer hit a ball over that Brown touched and tried to pop up and then she fell down...it initially looked like it was a BYU point but they called it for Pepp. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
End of the 4th set (like 22-19). I went back and looked at it. Eschenberg nets in the middle of the rally; it happens when Zelaya sets the middle (Brown) and Eschenberg gets a soft block but on the way down Eschenberg's forearm touches the net. In one of the replays you can see it pretty clearly if you're watching for it and the net is definitely moving. So it was a good overturn.

i changed my PTW like 30 minutes before the deadline to Pepperdine. that's definitely all my fault You, me and Kingsley... I’d say there were about 8-12 people that made this change after Tuesday night’s result |

Ah, I see. Thank you! |

Its been a little difficult to compare teams this year--lack of non-conference, lack of home and home, and playing back to back. Too bad Pepp only plays at USD instead of at Malibu. For that reason, Pepperdine v. Baylor is a very interesting game and important to WCC. Scott is a great game prep coach and I have no doubt they will be prepared and have a great game plan (as he did versus BYU). I was really impressed with his game plan for BYU.

That was a huge non-call on that double by bower BYU takes set 2 25-23 Agree. But that seems more the norm this season. Some pretty egregious doubles not being called. Or only one out of every 3 or 4 is randomly called. I think doubles in volleyball are like holding in football. It's very subjective and often isn't called when it could be. As for that particular set, I really couldn't tell for sure after watching it multiple times on replay and even going through it frame by frame. The ball was definitely spinning, but that isn't determinative if it was a double or not (this "rule" isn't an official rule at all). If the ref doesn't actually see two contacts, then they shouldn't call it. |
