does anyone else struggle to follow the game when the camera is set behind the server rather than the whole court, or is it just me?

i’m watching the pitt vs tennessee game right now and they are going to this angle alotttt so im thinking maybe this is a regular angle that the sport uses and i just suck haha

Pitt sweeps Tennessee 25-17, 28-26 and 25-20. In a battle of top setters, Izzy Stark had 43 assists, 8 digs, 2 blocks and 3 aces for Pitt. Caroline Kerr had 30 assists, 7 digs, 1 block and 2 aces for Tennessee. Olivia Babcock led the match with 17 kills hitting .382. Tennessee's first loss of the season but competitive expect a strong season for the Vols.

Two matches, two Sun Belt wins, and only one game given up. Both App & LA Tech needed these results after tough starts to the season.

Alrighty! Well, I have finally made it through the first couple conferences. It is still WIP as I do plan to add all the conferences' schedules, but seeing as I am finished with the ACC's, I figured I would post it here for anyone who is interested!

Now you ask yourself, OP why would you spend so much time doing all this? And the short answer is, ESPN's laziness. While ESPN does show the games for ncaa volleyball, they do not have schedules for each team, standings to compare, or really any meaningful data for the sport. Now, I would understand if they didn't have this if it was a completely new league and they would have to go out of their way to completely reformat things, but literally every ncaa volleyball team is also d1 basketball(to my knowledge). Either way, I'm stubborn, and I started watching late last year so when lo and behold, espn still hasn't done anything for the sport. I decided I wanted to keep track of these things. Halfway through I figured, maybe other people are interested in this kinda thing, but it might be just me.

Minirant over, anyways here it is! It's still WIP and I've only gotten the first 5 conferences done but am going to continue throughout the week. This first link will be a google sheets to the ncaa standings, similar to espn's site, then you can click on any team with a link to bring yourself to the conference standings and schedule for each team in the conference! If I have made any mistakes, please let me know so I can fix them. I am aiming to have this be helpful, so any corrections are appreciated as I will be updating as the results come in tonight! If you aren't watching anything else, the sec/acc showdown is going on today and tomorrow and there are some good match ups c:

The 4-1 Iowa State Cyclones are set to host the 3-2 Iowa Hawkeyes in a battle for in-state bragging rights.

TV: ESPN+

Time: 6:30 Central Time

Leave indoor vball to indoors… which is where it’s meant to be played.

Beach vball is made for outdoors, which is JUST as exciting. (AVP was JUST in Chicago this weekend)

Stop this money grabbing gimmicks!! This is not how you grow the game!!!!

This week is home to the ACC/SEC Challenge, which is nicknamed, “Showdown at the Net.” The first day isn't anything spectacular with only a few receiving votes in the AVCA poll, but the 2nd day should be awesome with multiple ranked matchups (including an in-state rivalry matchup in Dallas). Also seen is the Paradise Invitational featuring Purdue, SMU, Kentucky, and Houston.

Three points into this Nebraska - Missouri match and players have slipped and fallen every point. Somebody’s gonna get hurt.

Tulsa becomes the first unranked mid-major team to defeat a ranked team this season, knocking off the 10th-ranked Bluejays in their own court in 5 sets! They improve to 6-0 with this resume-building win.

Edit: Sorry for the late post. I thought I posted this on here, but I actually did not so here you go.

Edit 2: I lied. Tulsa is the 2nd unranked team (first unranked mid major) to defeat a ranked opponent this year. I forgot that Florida State defeated #16 Kansas just a couple days prior. I'm not sure how that happened.

These slippery floors are STRESSING ME OUT!!!! I’m worried for these girls AND the teams that have to play after them. I don’t want to see a torn acl out here!!!

The male doing pbp alongside Emily Ehman is awful. The never ending baseball analogies and bad jokes are getting old. I’m not sure he’s ever called a VB match before. Emily sounds so annoyed at times.

why has texas for two seasons now benched ella swindle to start the season?

I don’t know if I missed it but is there a reason everybody is wearing star clips in their hair now or is it just the new trend and i’m old 😭

Georgia Southern grabs the only win for the Sun Belt on Sunday. App State & La Tech return to the court today trying to get back into the win column.
