Jetlag. Stanford‘s timing is off by just a little bit. For better or worse, if we play these folks again it’ll probably be on their court.

No not jet lag solely. Similar to the loses vs Nebraska and Louisville. We look like we are checked out and don’t want to be there, poor blocking, no fight. Nebraska and Pitt look way better than everyone else.

I agree with the "solely' modifier.  But all Stanford's losses are 2 or more time zones east from home..  Nebraska's and Louisville's losses were also away games.  (I think Pitt would have beaten Stanford if the match had been played at Stanford, but we don't get to test that... too bad.)

If two teams are equal, I believe the home team has an advantage, and even more so when they are in different time zones.

I do NOT agree with "We look like we are checked out and don’t want to be there"  Perhaps you're reflecting your mood (see your use of "we"), but, for whatever reason, you are insulting the team.   You are saying it in a public forum, so you are saying that to them. Is that what you intend?

I saw the best team Stanford has played this year beat Stanford.  One player's serve hurt Stanford, but more importantly, Stanford didn't do well against the Pitt blocks.  A learning experience, I hope.   I also thought Stanford's serves were not as effective as in previous matches, but that could be the quality of the opponent.   Stanford's SO% was a lowly 53.4%.
