Florida schools are both better than Long Beach , FSU beat Long beach earilier, I think UH got a good draw, they avoid USC/Pepperdine until the final. They just need to play better than they have the past month and hope Taylor is ready to go.

6. thank you for the help. just got back home. Was on the phone with UCLA and they mentioned. they had just learned of their pair getting in.

Looks pretty spot-on. TV (off camera) had asked me yesterday who I thought would be the top 8 and those are exactly the teams I mentioned. not rocket science since they stayed pretty much how the poll was last week. with Stetson the AQ out of the Atlantic Sun

if the above info holds … then hawaii gets lbsu in the first/quarterfinal round. tough matchup. hawaii just got by the beach a couple weeks ago, so the beach, for sure, will be looking for revenge.

if hawaii can get past lbsu, then they’ve got the florida schools (fiu and fsu) waiting in the wings. either will be a tough out.

the interesting thing is that usc and pepperdine are on the same side of the draw. i think those two schools have been playing the best volleyball of late. pepperdine has lost twice to usc this season, but both times have been tight, with usc winning 3-2 each time. pepp seems to be able to match up well with usc. so that potential semifinal could go either way.

Wow….LBSU in the first round is a tough one.

How exciting it is, the Warriors and Sandbows with post season play!
