Canaba Interview (Sul Ross State)

Robert Rochelle from D3VbWest talks about the news announced on March 9th that has Trinity and Southwestern moving conferences. Why is this being done? Are more moves coming? What will scheduling look like in volleyball?

D3VbWest.Com presents simulations around the selection of at-large bids for the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Using the 2nd Regional Rankings and projection tools, I'll give you the 20 teams that will get at-large bids to the tournament as of today. NOTE - I made a mistake when saying Stevenson's project number. It is 485 and not 585. Big difference. :-(

D3VbWest.Com presents a rundown of the AVCA Top 25 (really 28 when I sneak in 3 teams) and compares them to where they land using two statistics I love; Points/Set and Hitting Percentage. See what teams are ranked too high and which not high enough.

D3VbWest.Com presents the National Wrap-Up that covers the preseason AVCA Top 25 and how those teams did their first week of the season. We'll look at the teams that should stay ranked and those that should find other employment. We'll also look at the teams that are flying under the radar that should be considered by the AVCA. At the end, we'll do a quick look at the West Region teams just to annoy everyone else.

Presented by D3VbWest.Com! Robert Rochelle gives us some DIII Volleyball Eve love as we prepare for matches tomorrow. He covers rankings and what to expect from the website on Match Days! He also goes briefly over Quality Win Index and mostly gets sidetracked when talking about NCAA Tournament at-large selection.

D3VbWest sits down with Sul Ross State Head Coach Troy Canaba and his daughter, Annika Canaba. Troy coaches BOTH softball and volleyball with Annika playing both sports. With the pandemic, they are faced with playing both seasons at the same time. We talk about how they are handling the situation and what it's like coaching your daughter and playing for your father. We also talk Covid, recruiting and, most importantly, what is Annika's favorite sport. Special appearance by my cat a few times.  Note: I have a bad cut in the middle of the interview where the recording duplicates a small portion. Sorry about that.

Presented by D3VbWest.Com creator Robert Rochelle. He discusses the Points/Set statistic and some of the surprising stories in his Top 25 article. He also focuses on some of the West Region schools and will bore everyone with a closer look at the 2016 UT-Dallas Regional. 

I touch on a number of items that have occurred over the summer. Includes Johnson & Wales Denver, Realignment, NCAA Presentation on Selection, the ACAA and CAC merger and how much I love Mills College. I also talk about the Circle of Death. Go to www.d3vbwest.com for articles on these topics and much more.

D3VbWest.Com presents a mock selection of the at-large teams based on the regional rankings. A number of surprises and certainly some regions that are going to take a hit this year. I also go over the changes to the regional rankings from the first week to what was released yesterday. There is a related article posted on the website that has all of the teams mentioned in the podcast.

D3VbWest.Com presents a review of the first regional rankings released on October 23rd. I will go over each of the 8 regions and also discuss the cirterion that wasn't included in the first week and that's Ranked Wins. Which teams will benefit next week when this is considered?
