The Cardinal losing in straight sets to the Wildcats, 19- 14- 23-, without their starting setter (MINER), their most
lethal hitter (KIPP) and their primary DS (LOUGEAY), then losing their secondary setter (XU) mid-way thru the 2nd set.
And with so many unknowns to be settled in 24 waking hours before the ASU match, Stanford will most likely
leave the desert 7-5 conference, 12-8 overall. There goes an NCAA seed so, for now, let's just be content
with them making the NCAA tournament, then making some serious noise as they take it one match at a time....
In a way, I will enjoy watching Stanford more from this point onward, without the pressure and expectation
of them winning every match.
Last week's RPI Futures (conference 13-7 and overall 18-10) is now making more sense to me. I just didn't realize
that it can predict absences of major players in future matches, hahaha!
