Volleyball vs Louisville part 2.
- Thread starter Black Panther
- Start date
What a comeback! I saw it. I’m still not sure I believe it.
This won’t get us a top 4 seed, but hopefully it eliminates the possibility of us being a 3rd seed.

I hope that opposing players keep talking shit to VVG because this is the best that I've ever seen her play against top competition. "That's right bitch" 🤣🤣

I know sports is a game of inches and wins and losses come down to the thinnest of margins, but are you or anyone able to refresh my memory on the FSU match? Was that the one that came down to one officials decision at the end that was the difference between winning and losing?
I disagree, I think if Pitt wins out now we will get in as the fourth or even third overall seed depending on what Wisconsin does tomorrow at Lincoln
volleyball has a way of doing that for me like no other sport. College hoops would be next I think when it’s a one possession game late. Playoff overtime hockey and extra time soccer compare too…but in those sports you gotta get to overtime and extra time first.
Pitt is already top 4 in RPI and KPI before the win today, those are two of the main factors the committee uses
Wisconsin has lost two in a row. If they lose three, even if they are all to Top 20 teams, hard to see how they stay ahead of us.
We certainly were never ending up with a three seed, that’s for sure. Home & away W’s over the current #9 & #11 teams in the country locks us in for a 2 seed, minimum

That might've been the most electric sporting atmosphere I've experienced. The turnaround happened when Monk and Babcock started playing like they normally do. That libero for Louisville was incredible, could've been the best performance I've seen.
As mentioned in another thread, I'm in Panama City, Panama so I get ESPN Latin America.... thanks for all the updates and to @HOF Coach and his tweet updates.
Can we just be clear about this......"I'm so proud of our 'effing' volleyball team. Man, we're awesome". It is rumored that today Tyler Palko uttered those words...wherever he happens to be....
After blowing that second set I figured they'd have no chance to win.
Thank god I was wrong.
If anyone is wondering, official attendance was 8,865. The lower level was almost full and there were some people sitting in the upper level.
As Coach Fisher mentioned in his post-game media interview, "and that was with our students on break."
I get the stats and I agree with your premise. But the committee often uses other factors that honestly seem arbitrary to me. Wouldn't be surprised to see Texas and Louisville ahead of us come NCAA selection.
How about Monks? Louisville girl has some bragging rights to take back with her when it's all said & done.
Not sure I agree. We had an RPI of 4 going in and beat #3. They seed based off of RPI.
She has been everything this team has needed and more.This team has depth like no other.
Miami swept GT Friday night so Pitt's match against them Wed is HUGE. Miami gave Pitt a battle in Miami so hopefully Pitt doesn't have a letdown after the Louisville match. H2P
I like our odds.
National ranks as of this morning:
RPI 3
SOS 2
Top-25 wins T2
Top-50 wins 1
We also have a few OOC opponents still playing in their championships which is an RPI boost.
Womens soccer team watching final point in Fayetteville wher they are waiting for Sweet Sixteen matchup with Memphis:
I believe only Nebraska and Stanford are 'for certain' top 4 seeds. The remaining 2 teams will be some combination of Pitt, Louisville, Wisconsin, and Texas. If Wisconsin somehow upsets Nebraska I think they're in. If not they are probably out. Texas is my biggest worry. They only have 1 game remaining which they should win. If both Pitt and Louisville win their remaining games I believe both deserve top 4 seeds based on all the metrics the selection committee will use. If Texas gets in....it's almost a coin flip between Pitt or Louisville for the remaining top 4 seed.
And on another matter which has me fuming....today's Post Gazette devoted 16 full pages of sports in their newspaper to various sports. How much was devoted to yesterday's game? Don't bother looking....the answer is zero.....not even the final score.

Monks had a rough day but she did make some big plays. I thought Stafford kept the energy up when the team needed it. She was fun to watch. Gritty win. I thought Fisher coached a good game.
Overall, the atmosphere was electric. Crowd was full of young girls who were loud and engaged. Really think the crowd carried them in that fifth set. When the tide started to turn, the place started going wild. Was a great time.
