Arizona State-Cal Women's Volleyball Open Thread

by Avinash Kunnath on Oct 25, 2009 12:45 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Olympic Sports

This is one of two remaining live women's volleyball games that'll be on TV (CSN California), first serve should be a little past 1 PM PST. They just came off a huge victory against #16 Arizona, so cheer these women on! Coach Feller seems pleased that the girls get a day in-between for rest and recovery.

"One of the advantages that we have this weekend is we have a day in between," Feller said. "We get to have a designated practice for the second match which we don't get that often. We'll have a chance to work a little harder in prep for Friday night's match than usual. We don't have to divide our time."

Good luck ladies. If anyone gets a stream link, post it in the comments!

Carli still serving like shit.

Has she been struggling all year?

YEah. I think it’s because of her thumb injury. Her left thumb is wrapped … which is her toss hand so her bad tosses are resulting in horrible accuracy.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:13 PM PDT up reply actions

Damn, we’re blocking like crazy.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:14 PM PDT reply actions

They’re picking on Tarah. I don’t blame them, that’s what I would do.

Is ASU any good Danzig? (at least, based on high pac-10 standards)

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

Not really. They’re too small and can’t jump. They’re bottom of the pac.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:23 PM PDT up reply actions

However, because our RPI sucks, we NEED every win. Right now we’re outside the bubble, in terms of making it into the NCAA tourney. We need this win.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:25 PM PDT up reply actions

How big is the tourney? how many Pac-10 teams get in?

by Avinash Kunnath on Oct 25, 2009 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions

It’s huge for us. It’s up to the selection committee but because the Pac is so strong, usually five or six Pac teams go into the tourney.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions

How big is the tourney?

Wiki tells me 64 teams.

NICE!

They can’t handle Hana’s power.

LOL… funny commercial.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 1:42 PM PDT reply actions

POWER!

Looking down the schedule, how good do you think our record has to be to make the tourney?

by Avinash Kunnath on Oct 25, 2009 1:46 PM PDT reply actions

It’s pretty clear. We still play Wash, Oregon, UCLA and Stanford. We WILL lose at least two. If we lose three or four… we’re out of the tourney. Simple as that.

FYI

I know I’m being waay pessimistic, but this team just frustrates me.

If history repeats itself, the top Big10/Big12 teams will keep riding up the rankings escalator because their conference isn’t as deep. Pac10 teams usually start dropping in RPI as they near the end of the season. Happens each year because the Pac10 just beats up on each other. We’re #15 right now but expect us to drop out the rankings by the end of the year. How far out of the rankings? Don’t know… but I do know the Big10 looks great this year and will prevent some of the lower Pac10 teams from going to the tourney.

current standings

…and we already lost to USC once, however I’m 100% sure we’ll kill them when we get them at home.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions

yikes, seventh? Hopefully the end schedule is easier.

We still got @Wash, @Zona and @Stanford. We get UCLA and Oregon at home… but UCLA just beat Oregon today… so both of those aren’t looking good for us.

by danzig on Oct 25, 2009 2:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Oh yeah, Wazzu just beat Wash. This conf is so hard it just nuts.
