And he has UH beating Creighton and then Stanford ... before being swept by San Diego.

I think South Dakota State gives the Coogs all they can handle. I very much doubt they sweep SDSU, and only give them 60-40 odds on advancing. Quite honestly, I think our odds of beating Colorado are no better.

Colorado is a very talented squad, and is ranked #30 in the coaches poll. We got arguably the best and toughest non-seeded opponent in the entire tourney as our first round pairing (while UH, UCF and WKU all got patsies).

The strongest 5-seed faces the strongest unseeded team - that’s how it works, right?

Just win, baybee - or go home. That’s how it works, too.

RE: Volleyball Selection Show
Interesting analysis-- we have the first two keys to making a tournament run, but lack the other three...

In evaluating an NCAA volleyball team for a potential run look first at the setter(s) and the Libero. Next at an Ace OH who can get kills in any situation. Next at a strong back row attack in all 6 rotations. Finally do they have two servers capable of disrupting a match.
