I agree cardfan77 Wisconsin did not look all that good.  Here's my view.  When a WVB team plays the first game on the road against a good team they take a risk things can go awry.  Plus Orzol is nursing an injury and Franklin, last season's NPOY, is not 100% healthy.   In contrast Louisville passed well for the first match of the season.

I expect Wisconsin will have a better showing against Stanford.  The game is on Fox Labor Day Monday at 2:00 pm Pacific.   I hope it's competitive.  After Friday's game it should be a little clearer how well the Cardinal team has put things together..

FWIW, here is a quote from a Volleyballmag.com discussion on the best players in the country:
"If we were having a player draft and I had the No. 1 pick, I’d take Stanford senior Kami Miner..."
