Louisville will sweep.

Good season Baylor, but Louisville should take care of business you'd think.

Louisville is like the business women of NCAA women’s volleyball. I say Louisville in 3 but Baylor’s new setter is wonderful and Briseno is strong. Will their hitters take care of business? If so, I can see them maybe squeaking it out in 5.

And if helpful, Keene is the DS for Sczech and Dacosta for E. McGhee

Baylor is at their best when they are serving tough and getting a lot of block touches. But they also have some trouble finishing in late set scenarios. They played Texas really close in Austin and only got out scored by 4 points over the match. I expect them to be able to apply pressure on Louisville, but it’ll be really tough to pull off the upset.

If the McGhee sisters and Sczech can cause some frustrations with their block, and Briseño, Carlson and Talbert serve aggressively, maybe just maybe some magic happen.

I’m really excited to see Tillman against the Baylor middles

Louisville just needs to stay consistent in receive, Lazaro can do a lot with just solid passing. debeer always looks great when she's in the front row, but they are continuing to predominantly play mbonu there, I wonder if its because she looks better than debeer in practice or if they are trying to rest debeer as much as possible until they feel like its needed for her to play 6. mbonu is as good of a 'backup' pin as any team has so I could see both scenearios being true

I hope so. she looks very comfortable when she's in the front row so its clear she's been taking swinging in practice. but dbk said she won't be at 100% this season, and a non 100% debeer is really not far ahead of a 100% mbonu. I guess it depends what % debeer is actually at lol

The fact that DeBeer gets subbed in early whenever they really need a SO to stop a run and left in late when they needed to finish the 3rd tells me that it's more about keeping DeBeer rested.
