Being a top team with HCA is really really tough to overcome. This isn't about UW as I've said this consistently, but, I dislike the HCA in the NCAA Tournament. I much prefer neutral sites. I know, crowds and TV are the biggest argument against it, but, that's my opinion from a competitive standpoint. There are even drawbacks to even having it at one location (like Oklahoma always being in Oklahoma City in softball) but I still think I'd rather prefer that. From a competitive standpoint, neutral sites are definitely better. But from a financial one, they aren't, and so that's what the NCAA will go by. The only way this really changes is if volleyball gets popular enough that neutral sites will sell out regardless of who the teams are like in men's basketball. |

The only thing that would surprise me would be a Washington sweep. Texas needs to get it together Maybe they need a new leader Don't you fret. Hambly will get the boot at Stanford long before Texas ever parts ways with Elliott. |

Rough. Texas' schedule didn't help them much. Or perhaps it did . . . |
