I think Oklahoma brought their A game. That was about as tough of a sweep as one could imagine. I think that was a good test for Pitt. Pitt had to earn every point tonight. That will serve them well going forward
Ok great on the block and we overcame their good play throughout
hard to imagine they were a 15-10 team
Pitt needs to turn it up and I'm thinking their A game is needed every single point from here
The had a pretty bad start to the season. I didn't really think they deserved to be in the tournament let alone be seeded. Definitely lived and died with their block all year. Averaged 2.5 per set and really sold out with it against Pitt. Good strategy as a Hail Mary.
Looking at the Sweet 16, I think Louisville has the most difficult matchup. Purdue is weirdly dangerous. Haven't had a "bad" loss all season. Creighton and Texas could also be an interesting matchup. Creighton doesn't play as tough a schedule but their only two losses were Nebraska and Louisville and both went five sets. Also had some nice, ranked wins in their OOC schedule.
Nobody has "easy" games left but those are two that I think could get interesting.

Creighton/Texas winner ought to be a good test for Penn State.
Not that anyone is necessarily following but Gannon is in the Elite 8 of the D2 tournament and play Thursday night. Not unfamiliar ground for them. Lots of Pittsburgh area athletes on that team. Games are in Sioux Falls so that will be a fun trip...
I was just thinking the other day, man, I've really got to get myself to Sioux Falls one of these days!

Is that anywhere close to Frostbite Falls?
