Dustin Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good deal not to drop a game to the Montana schools. We should be able to beat them at home no problem. Big match next weekend at Idaho st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good deal not to drop a game to the Montana schools. We should be able to beat them at home no problem. Big match next weekend at Idaho st. The Idaho State game is only given a 30% chance of a UND win by Massey. The chances of winning the game at the Vandals is only 35%, Massey Ratings for the Big Sky: NAU 99 ISU 113 UND 120 Idaho 123 NoCO 152 PSU 262 SUU 266 E Wash 271 Sac St 383 Mont 457 Mont St 481 Weber St 491 Last weeks road trip to Montana should have been the easiest road trip. Incidentally, USD is up to #59 is the Massey rankings even though they have been beaten by us twice. They have beat both Creighton and Colorado which are both top 50 teams, to make a move up.

nodak651 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 We're 91 and usd is 52. The data when you break it down by team or conference is different than it is if you show everyone together.... Wonder if it is an error or if it just lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 We're 91 and usd is 52. The data when you break it down by team or conference is different than it is if you show everyone together.... Wonder if it is an error or if it just lags When just DI is counted, then we're 91. When DII and lower levels are counted, then we drop by like 29 slots. I looked up Concordia-SP that is highly ranked in DII, and they don't have a player over six foot, so normally they'd get slaughtered to a DI team with height as most of their kills would be blocked and a DI team wouldn't worry much about their blocking ability. Since DI does not play DII much, the DII teams look severely overrated. I don't doubt that UMD and ConcordiaSP are good for DII, but they are certainly no high level DI teams. Probably close to NDSU. There's only like 330 volleyball teams in DI, so low rated team like the Montana's would climb over 150 slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1 First edition of the season. UND at 112. USD amazingly at 56. With no non-conference games left, I'm guessing our potential to go higher RPI is slim. Anyway, all that really matters now is conference play, and there is a big match-up on Saturday at Idaho St. Early in the season, yes, but since we only play them once, a win for a potential tie-breaker could go a long way. Portland St. gave us some breathing room in the North division by beating Idaho last night, but those South division match-ups are going to be key.

UNDColorado Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 How is USD ranked so highly while we beat them twice and have a pretty good non-conference record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 How is USD ranked so highly while we beat them twice and have a pretty good non-conference record? The failure to show up against ndsu really hurt. Can't drop games against teams at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The failure to show up against ndsu really hurt. Can't drop games against teams at that level. UND should no longer play in Fargo until they consistantly play at our level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 How is USD ranked so highly while we beat them twice and have a pretty good non-conference record? USD beat Colorado and Creighton, which are top 50 teams. After that, their rankings ballooned up. We on the other hand lost to NDSU, which is bad loss. I hope Dooley doesn't play much tonight or at all, as we need her to be rested against Idaho State. On back to back nights, especially with the travel, she didn't play to her standard last Saturday against Montana St. Not that Pocatello is that far Ogden, but it's at elevation so you don't recover so quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 UNC knocked off ISU tonight as well. Game became a whole lot bigger with a chance to go 2 up on conference pre-season favorite w/ tiebreaker tomorrow night in Poky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they play that way against usyou may want to be careful what you wish for - perhaps each team's defense is really strong and created those errors.

Sure just some ADs are bitching about coming to GF on short notice. Just win so we're hosts weeks before and the issue goes away. ISU, NAU, and PSU can't afford to travel. They want a bus trip, but not to GF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsioux Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sioux lose first set 25-14. ISU comes out much sharper than last night according to their announcers in webcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
