- Thread starter LTK5H
- Start date
Bad: USA and Coastal on our side - went to 5 in 3 of 4 matches vs these two
Good: We'll only have to face 1 of USA/Coastal
Good: JMU and Troy are the 2 most dangerous teams in terms of style of play, and they are on the opposite side of the bracket

Looks like USA is the most dangerous opponent in our bracket. We get by them and we have a legitimate shot at playing for the title.

Any actual advantage of being 1 overall vs 2 in this format? If there is I don’t see it.

Great point, I noticed that too but regardless we would obviously be in the West bracket even if we were the #1 overall. 5/8 of the JMU/CCU conference losses came against the West. Interestingly enough all of App's losses were within the East. Then 8/11 USA-Troy losses came within the West.
That being said nobody should probably sleep on App or USM either. It could be said that we have as many as 7 squads that are deserving of some relative fashion of national respect.
Back to your argument about JMU's RPI being overvalued. Our RPI definitely seems undervalued I hope we see all that play out on the court.

Just for giggles:
Troy 0-5 in P5 matches
JMU 0-1 in P5 matches
CCU 1-3 in P5 matches, 1-0 vs AAC
USA 1-1 in P5 matches, 1-2 vs AAC
App 0-0 in P5 matches
USM 0-2 in P5 matches
TXST 3-3 in P5 matches, 0-1 vs Hawaii (won 10/24 sets in those 7 matches)
Troy 0-5 in P5 matches
JMU 0-1 in P5 matches
CCU 1-3 in P5 matches, 1-0 vs AAC
USA 1-1 in P5 matches, 1-2 vs AAC
App 0-0 in P5 matches
USM 0-2 in P5 matches
TXST 3-3 in P5 matches, 0-1 vs Hawaii (won 10/24 sets in those 7 matches)
Correct. The times of the matches are the only inherent advantage from the bracket itself. That's minimal - just a couple of extra hours of rest and better ability to schedule meals, meetings, etc. They're all used to that stuff though. Those girls have been living on tournament time since they were 13.
ARST upsets ODU 3-2, will play Troy next
GASO upsets USM 3-1, will play JMU next
USA over Marshall 3-1, will play Coastal next
ULL upsets App State 3-2, will play TXST next
Target time for tomorrow is 7:30
2-0 vs ULL, both sweeps - one easy peasy, one a real battle: 25-18, 29-27, 33-31

Was that Butler gal playing in either of those matches? I know she has been injured.
She was the difference maker last night against Appy.
?? No one on ULL named Butler

Dang, I thought that was her name. The announcers kept saying that someone was injured, just looked, it was Bennett.
She had 16 kills, 10 digs and 4 blocks. I think that would make a difference in a close 5-set match.
Watching the Troy AKST game, it's really close--who do we want here? Going to a 5th set.
We want ARST. Troy is really scrappy - I love the way they play, and #7 especially. Eh - looks like Troy pulled it out. WOW!
