Random thoughts: UNI- Undefeated in conference play (18-0)
- Healthy tournament experience
- May have a few fans travel in
- Each of UNI's last two NCAA Tournament wins have come against ACC opponents
- Higher RPI than Miami
- Nation's leading team in kills per set (14.97) and assists per set (13.93)
Miami- Overall young team but with Seniors/Grads at key positions
- Tournament experience
- Experience in the Field House this year having played @wisconsin in a 4-team tourney in non-con
- Nation's assists leader in total career assists (5,165)
- MB in US Volleyball summer training program
- ACC KPS leader
- Tough ACC gauntlet

(Miami: 3 team weekend in Madison, not 4-team. The third was Arizona.) Interestingly, Miami has the better Massey ranking, #43 vs UNI #52 |

Links bump. 2.5 hours until game time! Does that mean the GA line is already down the block? Anyone going to this match, let us know. We’re going to try to avoid a long wait by getting to this one midway thru the match. |

pathetic that Wisconsin can't seem to keep a video stream going. It has cut out like 5 times now.
I suppose they're used to the Big Ten Network handling things or something. But still.
Granted, with the way that UNI is struggling on serve receive and passing, perhaps I don't want to watch. (and UNI seems to be performing better when the video stream is down, so maybe I should just hope it stays down, and I'll just listen to UNI's radio call with CKS)
