Postseason
WLCALUM83:
Holland, MI match-ups:
Eastern-PA vs. Emory
UMass-Boston vs. Calvin
Cal Lutheran vs. Clarkson
UW-Stevens Point vs. Hope
Possible X-factor: IMHO, the team least expected to get this far (at least on paper) is UW-Stevens Point--the question is can they knock off their second consecutive ranked opponent on that opponent's home floor?
Team with most momentum: CLU-- the Regals' comeback against Hardin-Simmons got them rolling again--however, should they get past Clarkson, they would have to beat Hope to get to the final.
Toss-up: Eastern-PA vs. Emory (though Eastern PA knocked off home-standing Juniata in that regional-- :-X :-\
"Extra man" factor-- how many of those in attendance are going to be gunning for a Hope/Calvin championship match?
(UMass-Boston is just about in the same boat as UW-Stevens Point in that regard).
One other stat of note: At my last check, 6 of these teams were in the Top 20 in the nation in terms of team hitting percentage.
WLCALUM83:
Quarterfinal Winners:
Emory (3-0)
Calvin (3-1)
Cal Lutheran (3-1)
and the upset of the day-- UW-Stevens Point (3-0) (2nd match in a row the Pointers knock out a host school on that hosts' floor))
WLCALUM83:
It'll be CLU vs Calvin for all the marbles tonight.
(Knights will have the closest thing to home court advantage, but CLU's got a loud fan base as well, and the Regals are on a hot run as well)
WLCALUM83:
Calvin comes back from a 2-0 set deficit to take the 2013 title!
