So glad this is on ESPNU so I can record; I’ll likely drop out live after the first set.

Dani Drews...........Stanford will be reminded of Plummer as Utah beats Stanford at home

[hammer]

Theoretically, this matchup should favor Stanford.

1. They are at home.
2. Stanford's size at the pins will make it easier to avoid the block and in turn block Utah's attack.
3. Utah's back row isn't at the same level as Oregon's.

With that said, there is theory and then there is practice.

Stanford should win this one but they will take it to 5 because of stretches where the team just inexplicably breaks down.

[JJVb]

This one is a toss up for me. Both teams have strong offensive strengths. I agree that Utah's defense isn't quite as strong as Oregon's, and Stanford still nearly beat them, so I'll give the edge to Stanford in 4.

Card 3-1. Sadly I cannot watch tonight

[basil]

I have a feeling Stanford bounces back from the Oregon match

glad it's on ESPNU, they usually do a good job with volleyball.

Heading over to Maples soon ... hopefully Sundie's doing the game tonight. "Remember that point" and "Shack-alacka".

L Smith not available tonight
Cast is off A Smith’s hand — Hambly said she’s likely to return soon
