We've posted lionsfan's latest 15 points (with a few additions from staff). Here's the link: 15 Points
Here's an excerpt:
1. Penn State (ties) History (we think)
With its three weekend wins at the South Florida Invitational, Penn State continued its hold on #1 for the fifth week. Assuming the Preseason Poll is included in the AVCA record books, that would tie Penn State with Nebraska for most first-place rankings in history at 85 (if not, the Lions will have to beat Minnesota on Saturday to tie it; if yes, then a win over the Gophers would give Penn State sole possession for most weeks in first place). Stanford is in third place with 67, UCLA is fourth with 56 and Hawaii is fifth with 48.
2. Russ Rose on Batting Averages, the Nittany Lions, and the Cubs
Asked whether he was surprised by Penn State’s .376 team attack % against Wisconsin, Russ Rose said “I’m surprised any time people win 3-0 in the Big Ten, because I know competitive it is. I don’t look at those numbers, I look at the errors we made, I look at the things we need to get better at, because that’s what I’m supposed to be looking at. I’m not worried about batting averages, unless . . . it’s the Cubs.
