 My little trash talk last week worked out fine: NCS #16 is a nice slot Eduard (Starkville) Too bad SB missed it Eduard (Starkville)  Burlington on a title push this year James (Alton)  left the door open for us James (Alton) and we run sraight through James (Alton)
 Good Job, John! Amy (Tucson) That second set was insane! Amy (Tucson)  Thanks Amy! Great competition today. And yes 34-32 is quite a crazy set! John (Sheboygan)
 Tough one here, the Moose (mooses? meece?) looks strong on the T7 and Bryce is a sharp coach. Best of luck, Bryce! Mike (Teutopolis)  Good luck to you as well! Bryce (Mat-Su) Wow, intense match, well done, Bryce! Mike (Teutopolis) Oh man, all sets won by the minimum. This really could have gone either way. Good game Mike. Bryce (Mat-Su)
 skills suggest a triumphant Denali.the Wolves will like it! Vick (San Jose) don´t want them angry! Vick (San Jose)  This game could go either way Vick. Hopefully at the end we aren’t ‘angry’. Good luck. Andy (Denali) Three very tight sets. Just happy to get the win. Andy (Denali) the wolves tore us to shreds in this one. bad loss for us to go out in the Nationals so early. Vick (San Jose) Congrats to Andy and Denali on this win Vick (San Jose) |
 Not the draw we were looking for - and just as Roy overtakes us in T7 Roger (Pekin)  Both predictions give Pekin the edge Roy (Nashville)  Juicy. It's a tough side of the draw. Steve (Columbia)  Stellar opening round match in store here! Kevin (New Orleans)  Wow. Pekin was the only higher seed to win in the first round, and they did it against the only T7 better than them. Jason (Spokane) Congratulations Roger Roy (Nashville) Thanks Roy, a close run thing Roger (Pekin)
 Against CB is never an easy game. The Bulldogs will be full of surprises. Pierre (Mendon)  This series has gone to 5 sets in 3 of the 4 meetings. Will that be repeated today. Can the Shrooms prevail or will the UnderBullDogs advance? Allan (Quincy) Remember, CB says: You have a chance to win the TMVL National Championship! You are a big deal! Allan (Quincy) Big Deal CB is able to get past the Mushrooms and advance to the National Championship Elite 8. Is CB on a mission? Allan (Quincy) We have scored more points, but not more sets. Congrats Craig, well played. Pierre (Mendon)
This is our fourth of five matches against Cincinnati this season. Jason (Spokane)  This will move this fixture into a tie for the most played fixture for both teams. James (Cincinnati) I am hoping that our RS Achilles heel will not prove decisive. James (Cincinnati) Unfortunately we don't have the benefit of home court advantage. It'll probably be another short stay in the National tournament. Jason (Spokane) Cincy won nearly double the service points we did, and that was the difference. Jason (Spokane) Interesting - receive Pct was around the same - we were just more efficient in Attack, .506 to .383. Another close game though. James (Cincinnati)
What can I say? My OHs were pathetic today, Brehme's SR and Baptiste's ATK especially bad. End of the season really as XP decides what happens now. Steve (Columbia) |
