I definitely agree it’s dangerous. A&M plays a fun, attacking style of volleyball, but it’s also often quite error-prone. If they’re on, and Texas is off, it could be a wild, hard-fought match.

On the bright side there should be a good showing for every team in the Greg

Posted this in the selection show thread.
I have not really been paying attention to Texas A&M the last few weeks. I see they went 2-8 in their last 10 matches, as well as 1-5 in their last 6 matches.
With an RPI of 37, I guess they are out of the Top 32 for a the last of the #8 seeds; and, even at #9, they are a drive-in to the Austin sub-regional and that's the way geography works.

IMO, this is a dangerous/ bad matchup for Texas. I think a&m wins. i rebuke this

LMFAO. It's not like we run any super-secret offense. We barely hit a D ball still though. jamie corched at Texas. insider knowledge Looked through the staff listings. He was with Texas Spring 2021 (that weird pt2 of Fall 2020 due to covid).
The three players that are still on this year's team that he interacted with are: Reilly, Asjia, and Molly.
So, he'll know how our middles will behave, but everyone else is new to him as well as the Offensive Coordinator, D. Hunt.
And as the wildcard to both A&M and Texas, we have a freshman setter. And no one ever knows how or where that ball is going.

enough has changed that I’m not concerned with insider knowledge. My bigger concern is that I believe Jamie was instrumental in game planning our defense and offense and making adjustments that year. I don’t know where I’m remembering that from, but I thought that was the big thing he brought to the table. If he’s still the tactician he was in Austin, that scares me a bit.

I’m not taking any team foe granted, believe you me. But looking at the entire bracket, I think we got a best case scenario draw.

I watched a set or two of A&M this year while I was game hopping on ESPN+. My thoughts for those few minutes was that he was trying to play in the "Texas way" of strong blocking and big kills from the pins. He doesn't have the players, yet - to pull that off.

But looking at the entire bracket, I think we got a best case scenario draw. this. other than our first round match being a little harder than normal, we got beatable teams for the R32, and we avoided Purdue for a S16 match (Tenn just lost to South Carolina). this is all about our side of the net now. we can’t blame a matchup or the committee for anything. we have a chance to roll to the elite 8 if we take care of business. that’s a big if with this team though sometimes.
