I mean it was a win I suppose but the commentators are acting like they just won a National championship Stanford has more national championships than ASU has wins over Stanford. they should have brought those trophies to Arizona to set the ball, attack, block, etc.

I couldn't bare to watch this match. I couldn't suffer through another thread like the one vs Arizona. I did look at the stats. Depleted lineup. Campbell 0 kills in 11 attempts? I'm guessing due to setting issues. Francis hitting .098 in 41 attempts? Ugh. Oglivie 15 kills. OH I guess? That must have been fun for her. I'm guessing Beaven was libero. But only 8 digs? ouch.
A really crazy, shaken up lineup. Nice that Tufuga got some playing time. By the stats, it looks like she played hard, set well to the outside, but probably struggled with middle and back sets. Good experience though.
I hope everyone gets healthy soon.

Yeah I'm just annoyed in general. Like I don't know if there's anyone to blame really for all these injuries but this is getting ridiculous. Also, would be nice to have Fidelak but I suppose they are trying to respect her wishes. Plus, I have no idea about Greene. Last I heard Greene was still on campus. She was a walk-on, so my best guess is she just quit to focus on academics. I'm not going to blame her if she decided that it wasn't worth sticking it out for basically no playing time. Greene took a page from Karate Kid. Walk on. Walk off.

Does ASU have a chance to make the tournament?

Does ASU have a chance to make the tournament? I think they do. Arizona State's current RPI is now ~50 with the Stanford win factored in, and they already had wins over UCLA and Utah. They also only have one really bad RPI match left on their schedule, and they have five more matches against current RPI top 50 teams (though USC is borderline). I'm not exactly sure how many matches they need to win to get in (I'll leave that to the bracketologists), but I definitely think they have a chance.

I'm guessing Beaven was libero. But only 8 digs? ouch. Berty had 7 digs. The libero had 8. That says A LOT.

The coaches did their job trying a different line-up. At this point, someone needs to step up and lead this team. There’s honestly no fire, little emotion, and no fighting spirit. Just hoping this is a learning lesson for us and we get everyone healthy and ready for December.
Agree with another poster saying Baird could’ve played as a passing opposite and keep Francis on OH. She’s more effective as and outside hitter.

She’s more effective as and outside hitter. Then you're moving your best scorer into a position where Tufuga is worse setting to. Plus, Baird is not used to playing right side. At least Francis has some experience playing there in ro. 1 normally.

Glad Ogilvie got some time at OH. She keeps making the US Jr. Teams at OH so I think it’s worth a thrill to try her there more often. But I get it our other libero options are ummm I’ll just not comment on them. I like Beavens fire she just needs a lot more touches for this level. We need some intensity on the court and I’m not talking about JUST vocally, we need to get some grit out there. Might of missed it but what is Miner out for?

I saw ASU in a pre season tourney in Flagstaff. They were pretty horrible. Guess that’s what pre season is for, to work the kinks out. Kudos to them.

ASU is still awful. They just lucked out playing a beaten up Stanford. This wasn't an upset. I picked ASU to win in a sweep. Stanford impressively took one game. Welcome to 2020...again.

I agree that this isn't representative of a normal stanford team, but ASU has won 5 in a row in the pac. they aren't awful anymore

ASU is much tougher at home than on the road.
