RE: VB in conference play
The NCAA Committee released its top 10 rankings this morning. Of course things could change but if the season ended today, the top 10 would be...
1 Texas, 2 Baylor, 3 Wisconsin, 4 Stanford, 5 Pitt, 6 Nebraska, 7 Washington, 8 Minnesota, 9 Florida and 10 Creighton. It's possible the top 10 doesn't reflect Washington's loss Friday at home to USC? They had a good non-conference but are just 7-4 in the Pac 12.

Most be something in the scouting report-- we're going much more to the middle blockers (Morgan, Adekunle) today for the kills.

7-4 in the Pac-12 is pretty darn good. I think that puts them tied for 2nd place.

Mine's working, but I'm going to have leave in awhile to head to the airport.

4 way tie for 4th. And they play UCLA today (who is in 2nd at 8-3). They are 4-0 against other top-10 teams, which is impressive.

20 - 10. 5 different players have either 2 or 3 kills each. Now that's balance. Only one error so far. No blocks.

RE: VB in conference play
Finally got video to work. Wish the video person would zoom out so we can actually see the plays. Also, getting a headace with all the fast back and forth movement.

RE: VB in conference play
UAB not quitting, but lose the second set 25 - 22. Lennon and Adekunle with 9 kills each. Rice with 31 kills to only 4 attack errors. Cunningham with 12 digs. Martinez with 14 assists and 8 digs. Great balance today on both offense and defense.
I'm off to airport. Will be following on my iPhone as we seek another road sweep. Go ladies!

RE: VB in conference play
Rice sweeps but it was very close in game 3 (we were down a few game points). Still most teams in the polls are just going to see a 3-0 road sweep, so honestly the scores won't really matter. Tougher two matches at home next week - we probably need to step it up a bit.
