The show featured Dan Friend, Assistant Athletic Director and head coach at Lewis University, discussing the NCAA men's volleyball tournament and conference standings. Dan provided insights on the expanded 12-team bracket, explaining how the selection committee considers factors like RPI, KPI, strength of schedule, and geography when determining host sites and seedings. He highlighted UCLA as the clear frontrunner, while noting that teams like Hawaii, Long Beach, and Pepperdine from the Big West, and Ball State from the MIVA conference are strong contenders. The discussion also covered international players' impact on the sport and potential future separation of Division II men's volleyball into its own championship. After the main interview, the hosts discussed tournament logistics, including regional hosting locations and bracket integrity considerations.
