I knew it...

An absolutely devastating loss. Bears were up 2 sets to nothing, led the 4th set at one point 18-11 and ended up losing that set 26-24, only to be trounced in the 5th set. It continues a disturbing trend of relinquishing what should be insurmountable leads.

They may not make the tournament. At this rate, the dark side will kill them next week.

They will make the tournament. But they really only have the win over Colorado State as marquee win.

No pilikia (problem), ncbears!

The Huskies coach spoke highly of our Bears according to the linked article. "The Bears (20-9, 10-9 Pac-12) were fighting hard for a win that could have clinched an NCAA bid and Cook was impressed. "It's a really good Cal team, especially now that they're back at full strength," he said. "Really impressed with their serve-receive, we were able to get them off the net there late, but for most of those first three sets I thought they weathered our serving storm better than anyone we've played in the Pac-12, and they ran a really good offense."

After a really strong start the team has fallen apart, was that due to injuries?
