VOLLEYBALL (14-13 overall; 6-10 in Pac 12 play) ends the home portion of their season (and Pac 12 era) with a 2 match weekend hosting the Washington schools. 1st up is a Friday evening matchup with the #11 Washington State Cougars (20-7, 10-6), followed up with a Sunday noon SENIOR DAY noon contest with the Washington Huskies (14-13, 5-11).
(After this weekend, the regular season ends with trips to Cal (Wednesday, 11/22) and Utah (Friday, 11/24). Hope they have nice Turkey-day plans for the team.)
In the latest official RPI report (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/volleyball-women/d1/ncaa-womens-volleyball-rpi), the Buffs are at #58 (they lost ~8 spots after a costly Arizona loss), while WSU is #12 and the Dawgs #60.
(As I've mentioned in previous previews, in the Volleytalk forum I read that a rating/ ranking I hadn't heard of, KPI (available via query at https://faktorsports.com/), is now listed as a primary criteria this season for the NCAA tournament volleyball selection committee. Right now the Buffs are #52 in KPI, while the Cougars are #14 and Huskies #58.))
Friday's match is scheduled to be shown on a CU-provided (Pac 12 Insider) stream, while Sunday's will be on the Pac 12 Networks. (See more details and links near the bottom of this post.)
Go Buffs!!!
