So as of now, for those who cannot attend the tournament, there is no way to watch any of the quarterfinal matches? And the semifinal matches are on ncaa.com? Finals on ESPN2? Looked at all vb matches for the next two weeks on ESPN+ and it is all women’s beach volleyball. Hoping ESPN+ steps up here for the quarterfinal and semifinal matches. Grow the sport! it just doesn't make sense that they could not do EPSN+ on the quarters since the Big West uses that for the quarters. but it's an NCAA and not Big West match. the 3-6 & 4-5 matches will draw a ton of interest, |

I guess if I have to fly out to LBSU and set up my iPhone8 on a tripod and do the play-by-play, I could. 🤣

a Grand Canyon - Ohio State quarterfinal : that stands out to me, no offense to Irvine-PSU
Ohio State is far away from that bad stretch they had in early March, and Pasteur looked solid and close to 100% yesterday.

492 attendance for MPSF final, ...in Los Angeles no less. embarrassing - I didn't expect earth shattering attendance but that is just sad wow and 2500 show up to watch Beach-Irvine in Hawaii That is brutal for UCLA their local fan base should be ashamed. When they played at the Pyramid there had to be twice that of UCLA supporters. Galen Center is closer to Westwood. What gives? Did the Trojans jack up local parking prices to gouge Bruin fans? Worried about walking two blocks through the hood? Concessions aren't up to snuff for the snob set? Can't stand to see the Cardinal and Gold for a couple hours? The Felix Chevrolet sign gives em the willies? Had to spend all their remaining savings to secure finals seats at the Pyramid? Is the economy really that bad? No wonder GCU took it to em. 25-16 and 25-17 set wins are full on blowouts at this stage of the game. And a few hundred of those fans were likely for GCU. Pathetic Bruin fans, simply pathetic. |

Pathetic Bruin fans, simply pathetic. you just park in the structure and walk 100 feet, there's no 'hood' there anymore, not like the old days of parking on the street or somebody's lawn for $5 and walking over to teh Coliseum or Sports Arena (god that Sports Arena was wretched) back in the day. that was pretty sad |

I'd argue rematches of conference finals would make for good semi's. Would also make for a not-from-same-conference finals I've seen enough Beach/Irvine and GCU/UCLA matchups this season unless it's for a national championship and they're definitively the best two teams. looks like you got your wish |

Can someone explain the logic of the Independent Teams? Why not align yourself with a conference to have a shot at going to the tournament one year? I would imagine that hampers recruiting.

For Coach Hosack: Here's a combination of the 6 conference brackets. This bracket uses the current (4/9) records and standings for each conference, assumes no upsets, and assumes the committee will rank teams in accordance with the AVCA rankings. This will obviously need to be updated, but still a place to start to celebrate the beginning of the post-season this week.

His younger brother Mathis, Seddik, and Amir from their U19 championship winning team are also listed.

I am just a bit surprised it was all sweeps in the quarterfinal matches. I expected some games to go 4 or 5 sets.
