Denver has won the regular season and tournament each of the past three season and their looking for four.  Perhaps the Summit gives the previous champion team hosting rights.  Last year Denver hosted too.

If I remember correctly the Big Sky use to award the post season tourneyment to the prior year champion.  Kind of makes sense as teams can arrange hotel and travel prior the the week before.

Yes, that is correct.  That idea is ok, but it doesn't really reward the current team that would reap the most benefits from playing a tourney at home.  I would prefer that the regular season champion get to host the current tournament.

UND takes opening set 25-17 over Weber St in the Big Sky quarterfinal.

[Dustin]

Back and forth second set leads to a 1-1 tie at the break.  WSU won 25-23.  Need better play from here on out.

[Dustin]

UND takes set 3 25-19 for a 2-1 lead.

[Dustin]

Nailbiter set 4, but UND (finally) prevails with a 29-27 win.  Whew!!!!  On to the semi-final, and good riddance to Weber St!  They played us tough this year.

Hope they can serve up a little revenge on Idaho tomorrow.  

[Smoggy]

While obviously the easiest path is the best, but I wanted Idaho again.  We never seem to play well there and I want us to bury them tomorrow.

Been watching volleyball for a while, but dang if things don't turn around in a hurry.  We brought back everyone from last year and this tourney is not a cake walk like it was for us last year.

[Dustin]

All the top seeds advance setting up what should be a fantastic semifinal round.

STATS ALERT!!

I think the biggest difference from last year to this year is Merseli.  She was on fire in November last year, hitting .233 with 4 kills per set, much better than she had been doing before that.  So they went to her more often, over 12 attacks per set when she normally got about 10.  And having that weapon from the back had to have made things open up for the front row hitters.

This November, her numbers are pretty much what they have been all year, hitting about .170 with 2.8 kills per set. 

FWIW, over the last 2 sets yesterday, Tamara had 8 kills with 2 errors on roughly 25 total attacks.  Hope it continues.

Best stream I've had on Pluto this year. 

6-4 UND early in the first. 

[UNDBIZ]

Timing between Griffin and Vail has been off consistently. Up 9-5 anyway

[UNDBIZ]

Spoke too soon as the stream has gone to sh*t and UND's play with it. 14-13 Idaho. 

[UNDBIZ]

23-22 Idaho. UND fortunate Idaho has a lot of service errors, otherwise it wouldn't be real close. 

[UNDBIZ]

25-23 Idaho takes set 1.
