Yes, Stanford gave up the first set 1-1, following a spate of games where weaker teams have given stronger teams trouble today.
NCState took the first set fairly comfortably 25-19. Thankfully, Stanford came roaring back and took the second set 25-11.

BTW, ASU did pull off the reverse sweep against KU. Wisconsin finished taking out Iowa (3-1), TAMU finished Auburn (3-1), and #24 Vandy finished of Mississippi State 3-1. All other matches featuring ranked teams were sweeps, though even Pitt was stretched to 27-25 on the third set by 8-9 Miami (the other two, though were 25-12 and 25-15).

They are currently playing in the third set. Also, #17 Kansas is giving #8 ASU all it can handle; they are playing a 5th set. Oh, and unranked Baylor took the first set off #10 TCU.
