Big home-stand this week! vs. Kansas City - Thursday @ 7PM vs. Oral Roberts - Saturday @ 1PM Five things we know: - Omaha and Denver are very very good this year. Kansas City and Oral Roberts are also very good.
- The Yotes have the talent and coaching to win the regular season.
- A four-set loss to Oral Roberts does not define this team, and needs to be avenged.
- Playing five-set matches with KC is a trend that needs to end. Put them away in 3 or 4.
- The Yotes need to show that they are a top-three team, not a top-five team.
So let's get on that level, and put #4 and #5 in their places.
Show up.
Be Loud.
Go Yotes. |

OK, that stats matrix is a little confusing, I'll admit. Here are the major takeaways (and yes, I did use the correct year this time):
1. Overall, KC is pretty average/above-average in most stats. They get a lot of digs per set, but their opponents also get a lot of digs.
2. Overall, USD is top-3 in most stats, and great at blocking/ not getting blocked as well as hitting at a high level. Poor at getting digs.
3. last time they played, USD's stats were similar to their conference averages, but got fewer blocks and aces than normal.
4. last time they played KC's stats were worse than normal in several categories. They hit, blocked, served and dug poorly, as compared to their average.
I guess you could say USD is in for a tough match, if KC plays better, and closer to an "average" performance.... Or you could say that USD forced KC to play more poorly last time, thus the score shouldn't have been as close as it was.
Who knows?

3-1 Coyotes. Nice to see them beat a good squad and at times not play their best. Tribute to Leanne

Winning in four sets vs the Roos is progress! Next on the menu: Eagle hunting! (Although that’s a federal offense)
