Wow Cal St. Fullerton swept Oral Roberts! Both UC Riverside and CSUN should be calling to schedule Oral Roberts for next season.

Lol I just wanted to say that you talk a lot of petulant jabs at teams despite being a fan of a team that has never made the NCAA tournament before! You have my respect. ZOT ZOT!

Another notch in the missed-opportunity column for the Big West this weekend ... UC Davis fall short 13-15 in the 5th to Wazzu ...

Another notch in the missed-opportunity column for the Big West this weekend ... UC Davis fall short 13-15 in the 5th to Wazzu ... turns out that is Wash State's best win so far. the 5 setters are huge, type of matches that wins keep more teams in top 100 or potential top 50 on the resume. SB plays Pepperdine tommorrow, and wouldn't be a surprise if that goes to 5. Pepperdine eked out a reverse sweep vs. Omaha

the WCC is down this year, BYU is gone. Wash State & Oregon State expected to compensate, but Wazzu had huge roster turn-over. San Diego has struggled early but just beat BYU.
LMU might be the top team in the WCC, but who knows who will win that. could be one of 4 or 5 teams

I do take jabs at rival teams but please don't mind me. It's just a little trash talking usually meant between long time board members.
You know taking jabs has a risk so know your facts and don't assume. Like when I talk trash and someone points out that I am wrong that is soooo embarrassing. Like saying UCI never made the NCAA tournament when the UCI head coach herself as a former player led UCI to 2 NCAA D1 tournaments.

in thinking about how better the Big West is this year, despite some tough losses to the portal
all the top teams had their setters returning, which probably makes a huge difference, plus that group of setters was solid.

Irvine blows like 6 set points for Cal to tie the 2nd set, but recovers to win anyway. got a great reception pass just in time.
Gardiner is pretty impressive for IRvine, they run a very good slide to her a lot.

Davis takes 1st set vs. the B1G arrogant bastards of Washington
would be a nice win after Wazzou took out some justified anger on them in football last night.
almost seems with a lot of solid returnees from last year, Davis was a bit overlooked in the pre-season picks.

Davis loses.
UCSB loses an entertaining 2nd set 37-35 on a whiff, and all that after blowing a 5 pt lead. down 0-2 to Pepperdine.
tough opponents, and the big west not faring well today.

UCSB is 2-8. Tough schedule, but would have expected more than 2 wins. No at large for them this year.

I could see UC Davis possibly winning the Big West. They pass and play D pretty well, and can put pressure on serve. If they play anywhere close to what they showed this past weekend in Seattle, they will finish well higher than their predicted 7th.

Big West stats.
SOS, the hitting % & opponent hitting %
Hawaii's SOS will get another boost this week. Beach's may tweak up somewhat. Davis will get UCLA. UCSD SOS will take a huge jump as they finally plays a brutal set of teams in LMU/USC/UNLV to gauge them better. Davis opposing % is pretty good for that SOS. Poly's offense numbers jump out, that was expected this year they'd be the best terminating team. Conclusion of all this is absolutely nothing the conference race is a complete toss up this year. Best win is Hawaii over #24 SMU, Best road win is Cal POly's win @ UNLV #57
but all eyes will be on the hazy hot musty San Juaquin Valley sponsored by Sunkist Raisins, LLC & Bass Lake timeshares; with Fresno, Bake, Pacific, & Sac State getting together for their annual meeting of celebrated "worst places to live" VB teams tournament. Team players each get a nectarine, peach, plum, and chocolate covered raisin. There will be a panel discussion on building endless non-descript subdivisions before hand with the mayors of Fresno, Bake, Stockton, & Sacramento, however they chose to meet in MOnterey for that discussion for some odd reason.
UCSB: 4, 0.178 / 0.247 Beach: 14 0.155 / 0.199 Davis: 25 0.178 / 0.172 Poly: 38 0.246 / 0.228 Hawaii: 59 0.205/ 0.231 Irvine: 121 0.198 / 0.174 UCSD: 208 0.247 /0.172 Bake: 171 0.217 / 0.208
