After a slow start, CMS gets on a roll and takes the first set 25-19.

CMS was down 5-11 again to start set 2, but fought back and took the second set 25-20. Up 2-0 on Berry.

Walked back home on a beautiful fall evening 😃 and had a wonderful dinner with Mrs Coach K 😋 all 4 teams looked good 👀 in person but Wisconsin-Eau Claire and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps seemed a level above their opponents. 👏 Waiting for last match but all 4 semi finalists should be strong 👍

Of course, the best match of the day is the late night one between Trinity (TX) and Calvin 😳 started at 8:40 CT and still going at 10:27 CT 😬 well, CK will see one of these two tomorrow night 😃

Skipping the fifth set 😳 will find out tomorrow 🤔 btw, slide “to the right” is unnecessary - just let me know when you see a slide “to the left” 😬

CMS gets to/has to avenge their only loss to get to the finals. Something a little poetic about that.

Is there any evidence that the ranking committees do better than good algorithms? But a certain algorithm would have kept the #73 & #75 teams out of the tournament when they were clearly deserving. /s They may have been deserving, but that doesn't mean teams rated higher were not also deserving.... |

They lost to Calvin 3-1 (5 points separated them) earlier in the season for their only loss. Chapman and Pomona-Pitzer should have made the play-offs. |

The unfortunate reality is that on the west coast there are limited opportunities to play ranked opponents out of conference unless they travel a pretty significant distance -- if you're saying their schedules and records are not true reflections of ability, I get it, but not sure how to better evaluate them... |

I agree with you but SCIAC has won the national championship twice in the last 6 years (Cal Lu-2015, CMS-2017) so the members of the committee know that the level of SCIAC play is pretty good even though they dont play much out of Calif. |

The SCIAC has it's challenges to be sure, but after CMS went 9-1 out of conference, the rest of the SCIAC was 16-34 out of conference and that is not on the committee. Redlands and Cal Tech went heavy on NAIA teams so as not to hurt the conference (combined for 1-1 vs D3 teams), but Whittier (1-8), Chapman (2-6), and Cal Lu (2-8) buried the league, because not only are Whittier's losses in Chapman's SOS once for each of the two games they played Whittier, it's in their opponents-opponents column for each game you play against CMS, and Cal Lu, and Cal Tech, etc. The SCIAC is good, and they'll get at-large teams again, but they need to do better out of conference to earn the right that extra bid. |

The quarters were a good show. MIT and Tufts proved they can play, but at the same time it never felt like they were going to win. CMS is a machine! I could not watch Calvin / Trinity(TX) but will soon. This should NOT have been a quarterfinal match!!!
Eau Claire and CMS tonight. Must watch D3 vball!
