Yup, but could be a lot better if he'd grow a pair. Has better physical tools than a guy like Micah Christensen, but Micah doesn't worry about the "Wow!" plays and instead sets a consistent ball. Thus, he is the starting setter for the US Men's National Team while Shaw can cry to his HOF dad.http://www.scvavolleyball.org/documents/JBC2011FinalStandings.pdfSee: 17s results. We kicked the crap out of his Mountain View (MVVC) team in the Finals. They'd take a timeout, the team would huddle up on the sideline, and he'd go sit on the bench with his towel and sulk with his head in his towel. Whines about every call (or non call). Could be a much better player if he'd just worry about what he can control and be solid.
Long Beach St @ Pepperdine tonight and Long Beach St @ USC on Saturday night, neither game televised though
Just keep updatin' Stanford so Smoothie is happy.
My financial adviser played for Pepperdine (won a national title in '92 and was an All American). He's pretty high on the Waves chances right now.
Slightly related, Marquette's women's club team won the national championship for the second year in a row. I know it's not quite the same level as the D1 players, but still significant.
Had Hawaii won and UCLA lost last night UCLA would have MISSED the MPSF Playoffs. Instead they won and moved all the way up to FIFTH. Some interesting first round matchups in the MPSF.# 8 Seed USC at # 1 Seed BYU# 5 Seed UCLA at # 4 Seed UCSB# 6 Seed UC Irvine at # 3 Seed Stanford# 7 Seed Long Beach State at # 2 Seed Pepperdine.BYU is COLD, losing 4 in a row going in. Haven't seen any of the matches, but having clinched 1st early they may have been sitting some guys. USC is so young they might be dumb enough to not feel any pressure going to a packed BYU gym.Long Beach was in 2nd alone for a while and fell to 7th. They're still dangerous but Pepp is hot right now.Irvine lost Friday but other than that has been hot, but Stanford is also hot. Irvine has a ton of experience being 2x defending National Champions.UCLA vs. UCSB, not sure who wins that. Not impressed with either team. I feel like whoever wins the BYU vs. USC match wins the semifinals against this winner.
Just saw the end of the Pepperdine vs. Hawaii match. Man were there two brutal calls. I thought the ball crossed the plane on the overpass before the RS from Hawaii his it and that back set by the Middle for Pepperdine was a lift, or double contact or something.
where did you see it?
They had some videos posted on Off The Block with the game summary.
