Long Beach State Sports : Re: MVB v UCLA SRO Friday 7pm

Nice summary! Susan and I will be there and we will have our middle son and his partner with us, all rooting for LBS!!!! This would be a GREAT win if we can pull it off. Sounds like the crowd will certainly be on our side!!! I am sure that the school has to provide UCLA with a certain amount of tickets. Knowing us, those tickets will be right behind their bench, while UCLA puts us in the refters!!! I say put them behind the band and next to the student section!!!

Sold out! If you want in, lineup for SRO tickets at the box office.

Students will be out in force, packed Myd makes for a special atmosphere.

ESPN+ if you can't make it in person.

LB #2, UCLA #1 in latest polls. A win vaults us to #1.

Best offense (UCLA) v Best Defense (LB)

UCLA stacked with talent but having some issues with serve receive

LB packed with talent, issues with service errors (getting better though)

Can LB decipher Rowan enough to dial in team blocks?

Can LB mix up the setting and find some weakness in the UCLA defense?

Can LB defense disrupt the UCLA offense machine?

Will LB student section and bulk of crowd lift LB to its best played match yet?

Will one coaching staff standout over the other?

Will UCLA relentlessy target Kandev on serves (likely)?

Does Kandev pass the target test? (been happening all matches so far, he usually passes well enough to stay in)

Beach in 5 grueling sets. Leadership of Varga, calm passing of Larson, team defense, kills from all directions.

GO BEACH!!!!
