The margins were 29-27 and 28-26. Against a mediocre team. Playing at home.
This Arky series was not impressive for Mizzou, despite winning both matches. Out of 7 regulation sets we won 3, lost 2, and barely won 2 more in extra time. Not what anyone expected.
Combined with TAMU losing at home twice to an average Miss St team this week, the SEC is looking a lot like a 2 bid conference for the NCAA tournament next spring, with only 16 at large bids available instead of the usual 32.
It’s a limited schedule this fall, but at this point it looks like Florida and Kentucky at the top tier, Mizzou, LSU, and TAMU are in the next tier, but none of them looking particularly strong for the NCAAs, and who knows and who cares about the next tiers.
