Melanie Parra vs. the FSU block. Could be a close one. The block will need to slow her down. Voters seem to be leaning FSU's way.

FSU is definitely an improved team than what we saw in September and I would not be surprised if this goes 5. I think there are 3 keys for TCU to win: Gibson/Nalls need to be good not great but make smart shots, first contact from Bramschreiber needs to be good cause if that is the case then we can get Gibson and our middles some looks, and Nicholson needs to spread the wealth early and even go over on 2 a couple times

Agree that FSU is better than September but so is TCU. If TCU can clean up serve receive from the BYU match (if they have a normal game in SR, they beat BYU) they should handle FSU again. FSU has the better win against Pitt. But outside of that, TCU has the better wins against more tournament teams. ACC isn’t as tough as Big12. 3-1 frogs is my guess

Tcu is just too inconsistent, Florida State has played much better once they settled into their line up. 3-1 FSU

Could offer some fun plays but ultimately FSU with better all-around game should prevail.
Always a Parra fan though.

I agree FSU certainly finished the year more consistent than TCU. However, TCU dealt with some nagging injuries the second half of the season. I’d also argue, Big12 offered far stiffer competition each week than the ACC. Judging off of the pre-conference head to head matchup and then TCU beating Hawaii and UCF while FSU lost to both 0-3, I think if both teams play their best, TCU should prevail. FSU best 3 tournament teams during the regular season. TCU beat 6. If TCU can keep the middles involved to open things up for the pins, they can be successful.
