Big Green Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 So it looks like they have 2 matchs Friday in 2 different states. Are they really going to finish off the first team jump on a plane and take care of 2nd team? Or split squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like bussing from Crookston to Grand Forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 The SEC has national power teams, like Florida, Tex A&M, Mizzou, and Kentucky, but mostly the schools hardly put emphasis on volleyball. Ole Miss was voted 12th out of 13th in the preseason poll (Vandy doesn't have vb), and was celebrating opening their refurbished Gillom gymnasium specially for volleyball before 500 people. Still say that UND will have a place among power vball schools eventually - at least the status of Wichita St and UNI in the sport. The Georgia Tech game will likely be the toughest game in the next week. UNLV lost a lot to transfers ( one of Ole Miss's stars transferred from UNLV) and was picked ahead of New Mexico near the bottom of the MWC. Youngstown St was picked 9th in the Horizon. UTEP was picked 8th in CUSA ( La Tech was picked 12th). NMSU was picked 1st in the WAC but that league is weak in vball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeder11 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I see ACC/ESPN Extra Network is really up on us. They think we're the Thundering Turds by the look of the programming line up. Get a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND Fan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Disappointed we didn't get another win but after four games in two days and a long bus ride, I would guess there wasn't a great deal of gas left in the tank!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hope we played Ga Tech as part of a deal to bring them to Grand Forks next year as well as UTEP or NMSU. Ga Tech, Iowa St, and UTEP would make for an awesome tournament. The Jackets coach said they have improved every match. http://www.wramblinwreck.com/sports/w-volley/recaps/082717aac.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverAlum Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 UND tied for 15th in the latest Mid-Major Poll. I noticed that they are doing an invitation tournament similar to how basketball does. Even if they miss out on the NCAA tourney, they have a good chance for some post-season play, barring an injury or bad juju. Excited to watch the team grow, would love to see our offense start clicking on all cylinders. https://volleyballmag.com/volleyballmag-com-mid-major-poll-presented-by-nivc-082917/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the undsports writeup, Pryor mentioned that he's a voter but didn't vote due to the travel schedule. Surprised the Big East teams are mid-majors, but hoping we can be on this poll for years to come. Liked what Pryor said about the team not playing a complete match yet, as there is still massive upside. With UNLV, NMSU and UNM receiving votes, this will be a tough weekend and we need a couple wins against those schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew into El Paso and made the short drive in rented vans to Las Cruces...we were told under no circumstances should we take the vans to Jaurez.
