OH1: BAIRD 6'3 (4.08 k/s ; .292) vs TIMMER 6'2 (4.05 k/s ; .216)
OH2: FRANCIS 6'6 (3.02 k/s ; .210) vs TUSA 5'8 (1.70 k/s ; .157)
OPP: KIPP 6'5 (3.58 k/s ; .327) vs RYAN 6'5 (2.25 k/s ; .354)
MB1: CAMPBELL 6'3 (1.81 k/s ; .359) vs WILLIAMS 6'0 (2.35 k/s ; .316)
MB2: VICINI 6'2 (1.26 k/s ; .316) vs JEHLAROVA 6'3 (2.31 k/s ; .376)

VICINI - 1.40 JEHLAROVA - 1.34
CAMPBELL - 1.06 RYAN - 0.63
KIPP - 1.05 WILLIAMS - 0.61
BAIRD - 0.68 PUKIS - 0.50
MINER - 0.52 TIMMER - 0.35
FRANCIS - 0.50 TUSA - 0.23
Height Comparisons:
****************
OHs: Stanford 6'4 1/2 vs WSU 5'11
OHs/OPP: Stanford 6'5 vs WSU 6'1
MBs: Stanford 6'2 1/2 vs WSU 6'1 1/2
ALL: Stanford 6'4 vs WSU 6'1
Outlook/Prediction:
***************
WSU's confidence is currently high after 4 straight 3-set victories on the road,
including at #17 Oregon last week.
WSU's offense is very diversified, as evidenced by the even distribution of their individual kills/set.
Therefore, Stanford cannot just focus on stopping WSU's primary hitter TIMMER.
However, Stanford can really take advantage of their superior height and blocking.
They should definitely exploit TUSA's 5'8 height at the net and that JEHLAROVA
is WSU's only imposing blocking threat (refer to individual blocks/set stats above).
Stanford should study how USC dominated WSU at WSU a few weeks ago.
If Stanford is to win this match, they have to do it in 4 sets.
And I want them to win this match, so I predict Stanford winning 3-1.
