Rather than extending the previous thread, here’s a new one. To sum up some of the last comments: Great season overall. Questionable lineup against PSU. Lose a lot, good core coming back, really good recruits coming in.

Good news that the decided to stream the play-in matches. 3 p.m. HST for Loyola-Pfeiffer, UH-PSU no earlier than 5 p.m. HST Spoke with my son (1420am guy) who said he watched Pfeiffer’s practice and didn’t expect the Falcons to score more than 15=16 points in any set vs. the Ramblers. said Pfeiffer was small and didn’t look very good in practice.
