Pitt VB NCAA 1st & 2nd Rnds
- Thread starter levance2
- Start date
Matchups:
R64: Colgate 24-5
Patriot League regular season and conference champion
Similar in strength to Wake Forest?
R32: BYU 21-6
At-large
We played at BYU when they were a top-10 team this year, but now they are a fringe top-25 team playing in our gym.
BYU's only losses this year were to Pitt, GT, OSU, SD(x2), and a bad Pacific team. It's possible BYU is a bit under-seeded? I think it works in our favor that we are familiar with them already. Hopefully we play better at the Pete than we have historically.
S16: Florida 23-5
SEC regular season champion
I think all four of the 3-seeds are pretty similar. Kentucky, Florida, Oregon, Ohio State. I don't think it would have mattered much which one we get.
E8: Wisconsin 25-3
Big Ten regular season champion
Pitt would be an underdog at any of the hosts, so I don't really mind UW much. This team has played well on the road and when playing top teams, so why not the Big Ten champs? I feel like PSU is the most likely 4-seed who could take out a 1-seed before the E8 round.
