Not even praying will help.

Just watched the match - really impressive outing. I guess they deserved to be in the field after all.

Do upsets ever happen in college volleyball? Maybe tomorrow will be the day for a big one!

Not that big.

There are levels to women's college volleyball, even more so than college football. There are teams in the top 10 that have absolutely no chance to beat one of the top 4 teams, and that's the same every year. There's usually about 3-5 teams that can win it all, and any team outside of those has almost no chance of beating any of those 3-5, let alone having to beat 2 or 3 of them to win it all. It'd be interesting to see how often a non-1 seed wins it all. I'd guess well under 10% of the time.

Louisville is outside of that group this year, but they're the tier below it and Marquette is a couple tiers below that.

take Creighton for example. Hovering around top 10 for years now and haven't really ever come close to beating Nebraska in a match.

It's like St. Thomas vs UConn, really

Thanks for the info, wades.

[MU82]

Doggone it. They made a heck of a bid.

[21Jumpstreet]

Exciting match, they definitely gave themselves a chance.
