(VB) Gators v. Kentucky, Nov 26 & 27 -- all the marbles

It all comes down to this -- not only the SEC title but whether we will host regionals at the O'Dome. Two wins would be a lock to host. One win and we'd have to start praying.

FLORIDA (14-2)
Can win the SEC with:
* 2 wins vs. Kentucky AND
* Mississippi State loss to Auburn

Can win a share of the SEC with:
* 2 wins vs. Kentucky AND
* Mississippi State win vs. Auburn
** In this scenario, tiebreaker 1A is even (head-to-head competition, as the two teams each won one match)
** In this scenario, tiebreaker 1B is even (number of sets won between two teams: UF - 5, MSU - 5)
** Tiebreaker 1C is highest number of points won between two teams (MSU -195; UF - 209) Florida wins tiebreaker

 

Dunno. I like to think of myself as Mister Softball, but have only been into volleyball for a couple years. Much more complex game than I thought.

 

Defended off ten match points. Gotta play like that through the rest of the match. I think tomorrow is a must win for any hope of returning to the O'Dome.

 

And we hung with them pretty much every game both nights -- we were in the 20's, so its not like they crushed us. OTOH, its still a loss.

I guess we'll know soon enough, but probably not hosting?

 

OMG -- UF hosts first / second rounds (no driving to Miami!)

Anyone heard the dates? Next two weekends?

 

16 -- squeaked in to host! We play Florida A&M at 7PM in first round ( and presumably Miami at 7PM (who is probably upset they are not hosting) in the second round. It's not exactly clear whether its Dec 2 / 3 or Dec 3 / 4

[not jinx -- saying IF we make it out of the first round]

Regionals Dec 9 / 11 -- after that any games would be in Ohio
