Very hard fought match. Proud of them and their effort!
Note- The Buffs lost a challenge on a HUGE point that would have put them up 13-9, so it instead became 12-10. The challenge won by the Bears was that the Buffs had an illegal back row attack. I am NOT a knowledgeable enough fan to know all the intracies of the rules regarding that call, but in the replay I couldn't see anything that even looked close to anything that could be called a back row attack.
Are there any more knowledgeable fans who were watching, or have the match on tape, that could explain the call?

Yikes- guess it is almost always "fun" when fans get deep into any sport's rule book.
The generally relatively knowledgeable fans on Villeytalk have also been discussing the disputed challenge point also (http://volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/78833/colorado-15-cal-10-noon?page=5). So far, (IF I'm understanding things correctly)-

- IF the refs had called the Buffs for a back row attack originally, it WOULD have been a proper call. I already knew there is a rule that the libero cannot set a ball overhand when inside the 10 foot line. Evidently, at some point during that point our libero had 1st contact overhand inside the line, and because our setter then hit it over on 2, the liberos 1st contact became in illegal overhead set inside the line.
- However, another Volleytalk poster has commented with a quote of the rules, and the infraction the Buffs eventually lost via the Cal challenge is evidently (???) NOT supposed to be reviewable, so the Buffs were screwed in that way.
