There is a hypothetical bracket being discussed on VolleyTalk: https://volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/...logy-11-19
It has Stanford the #2 overall seed, with the other seeded teams in our region being Kentucky, Purdue and Kansas.
Interestingly, Stanford's first round opponent in this hypothetical is Denver, where 6th-year grad student and Stanford alumna Mackenzie Fidelak is the starting Opposite. ETA: I see Denver was beaten by Omaha in the Summit League tournament. I think that eliminates them from the NCAA tournament.
As for Stanford's prospects (IMHO): I think Stanford has the potential to beat anyone and win it all, but has not shown the consistency that would be needed to accomplish that. I would guess their odds of making the final four are about 60-65%. I'm not ready to make a prediction beyond that yet.
