MVB Stanford loss to USC - Mick - 03-29-2019
After the recent loss to USC's men's volleyball team in five games in Los Angeles, Stanford is in 5th place in the MPSF men's volleyball league.
Stanford plays the two worst teams in the conference, Concordia and Grand Canyon, while USC has to play the Top three teams, BYU, UCLA and Pepperdine.
I think we'll sneak into the top four teams, gaining us a berth in the MPSF playoffs.

let's hope so.
and any loss to the Condoms should be avenged.

Mick, I am presuming Stanford likely would have to win MPSF tournament,
and claim the auto bid to make the NCAA tournament? Do you think the Big West (with Hawaii, LBSU, and UCSB all topping polls),
claim both at-larges, or does MPSF split at-larges with Big West like last year through either Pepperdine or UCLA?

Well, we lost to Concordia, so we're still in fifth place.

What happens in the event of a three way tie between BYU, SC and Stanford
if they all finish 6-6 (with each protecting its home court against the others)?

BYU would have to lose to Grand Canyon, the worst team, so BYU will likely win, finishing 7-5. Stanford is 5-6, but has Grand Canyon, so they're likely to finish 6-6. The interesting question is USC. USC is 6-4, but plays the top two teams, UCLA (home) and Pepperdine (road). I think USC loses to Pepperdine in Malibu. The UCLA game is another question. USC is undefeated at home, but UCLA beat them 3-0 on their home court (though USC scored in the 20s in all three sets).
If USC loses to both, the tie breaker is head to head wins against the tied teams. The teams are 1-1. Next tiebreaker is sets. The teams are 5-5. The third tiebreaker is points scored divided by points allowed in the matches. That favors Stanford, who collectively scored 218 points against USC's 212 points in the two matches. Nine of the ten games were very close. In the first game at Stanford, USC lost 25-15. There's the difference.
Therefore, USC must beat either Pepperdine (unlikely) or UCLA to assure themselves of the playoff, if BYU beats Grand Canyon as expected. Games are this upcoming Thursday and Saturday.
