Mizzou has a crucial match on the road with a dangerous Alabama team, and #9 Florida is at TAMU.
Mizzou and #23 Kentucky are the only undefeated teams in the conference, and Florida and TAMU have 1 loss each.
If Mizzou can find a way today to survive their toughest match of the conference season (by far), we have a layup at home Wednesday against LSU, setting up a showdown of undefeated conference teams in Columbia next Sunday against Kentucky.
Mizzou is on a 10 match winning streak and hasn't given up a single set in their 6 SEC matches. My concern is we are facing a big upgrade in talent with Alabama, in a tough, hostile environment. The key is going to be winning the first set and taking the crowd out of it a little. If we don't win the first set I think we lose 3-1. If we take the first set I say we win 3-1 or 3-2. I just don't think our schedule, particularly in the SEC thus far, has adequately prepared us for this type of game, the conference just has no strength or depth after FL, UK, TAMU, Mizzou, and Bama. Going to be a huge challenge.
