The team profiles are useful and I appreciate it, but unless they are confined to Pac 12 play (in which case we are talking about a very small sample size), then I'm not sure they are super-useful given that Stanford's schedule has been so much tougher than UW's. That's why I call them "profiles" and not "comparisons". I do it primarily to familiarize myself with an opponent's relative strengths and key performers. UW is hitting .307, but Stanford's opponents are only hitting .201 - something's got to give. I switch to conference-only stats after the mid-point. |

I can’t pick a Stanford sweep?

In the individual profiles, a few things stand out for me, not being as familiar with Stanford:
-Kipp is an outstanding all around player
-Kipp's blocking at 1.00 per set is off the charts
It's also interesting that Powell is UW's third best blocker. EMP is great but UW's blocking has to improve.

I can’t pick a Stanford sweep? Yeah, I'm with you. Against Minnesota and Nebraska, Stanford could have easily swept, but it was those little execution errors/details that prevented it. |

Washington is playing more consistent than Stanford in recent matches, but they don't defend as well as the Ducks, so could be a long battle. I'll give the edge to WA.

If Stanford comes out with the same somebody else do something attitude it showed against Oregon, it could be a very long short night.

Kills/Set (Hitting%):
4. Hoffman UW 4.09 (.275)
5. Kipp STAN 4.08 (.270)
13. Baird STAN 3.14 (.184)
19. Bush UW 2.91 (.308)
21. Endsley UW 2.81 (.255)
29. Rubin STAN 2.56 (.142)
Hitting%:
2. Grote UW .429
4. Francis STAN .380
x. Summers UW .333*
Questions:
1. Will Francis (.380 and 1.52bl/s) play? Her replacement, Smith (.444 and 0.75bl/s), hit .667 against Oregon, but on only 3 attempts, and had 3 block assists (Rubin had 1bs, Kipp had 2ba, but Vicini had zero blocks). Without Francis, Stanford's block is much less stalwart.
2. Can Baird (3.63k/s and .184) and Rubin (3.14k/s and .142) have their hitting efficiency bounce back against UW's relatively weaker block (1.91bl/s, #11 in the Pac)?

Thinking this one goes to 5, but not sure who wins it.

Time was, a Washington match at Stanford was the biggest road match of the year and a Washington win was a rare, but extremely significant, event.
Not sure that's quite the case this year. Oh, it's going to be a tough match and I won't be surprised if Stanford sweeps. But I also won't be surprised if Washington gets the win.

I can’t pick a Stanford sweep? Apparently not, but you can pick two different ways Stanford can win 3-2. |

Oh, it's going to be a tough match and I won't be surprised if Stanford sweeps. But I also won't be surprised if Washington gets the win. IMO amongst the top teams, which the experts seem to think are Oregon, Stanford, and U-Dub, it's very important to win at home against any of the other contenders. Right now, I have already penciled in a loss for Stanford on the road against U-Dub. If they lose at home on Friday, that's a minimum of three Pac-12 losses which puts them in deep do-do regarding any chance to win the Pac. I fully expect Stanford to take another couple of losses to teams like USC/UCLA/Washington St on the road and likely the same thing happens to Oregon and U-Dub. |

Presumably Francis is playing because she was supposed to be ready up in Eugene. Hence, given another 5 days, she should be in the lineup on Friday. Not sure how much she's been practicing though. Where Francis picks up easy blocks is on OOS balls set to the Left pin. Especially if the setter location is marginal. She's usually good for a couple of straight-down stuffs per match. If the passing is good enough, the 31 shoots have been working pretty effectively to Vicini and Francis. All of the other middle attacks, whether ones, back ones, or slides have been inconsistent. I expect Grote by herself to have more kills than the two Stanford middle hitters combined. After looking at Endsley's and Powell's blocking numbers, I think Stanford will focus their attack on the left side. U-Dub's focus will probably be more on the right, especially when Kipp is in the front row. |

U-Dub's focus will probably be more on the right, especially when Kipp is in the front row. Cook will try to line up Bush (OH1) against Kipp (OPP), which would leave Hoffman (OH2) on Miner (S). Hambly will probably try to flip that. UW's offense has been pretty "left" biased. Last week: Hoffman/OH2 (33 + 47 = 80), Bush/OH1 (20 + 28 = 48), Endsley/OPP (22 + 20 = 42), Grote/MB1 (12 + 19 = 31), Powell/S (4 + 9 = 13), Summers (6 + 3 = 9). Left: 128*, Right: 55, Middle: 40. *Includes back-row attacks by Hoffman. |

Many of Grote's attacks are on slides to the right, so it evens it out a little bit. It will be interesting to see if Bush is able to continue her recent success on the left. I wouldn't be surprised to see her regress against a tough block, but she's been looking good the last few matches.
