Great way to get a look at two of PSU's next three opponents.

Pitt and Oregon playing tight game. No air conditioning in Pitt gym and it was in 90s today. Memories of PSU-USC in 2011, Nyline?

Tied at 16

Pitt wins Set 1 26-24.

Set 2 tied at 23

Oregon takes Set 2, 25-23.

The teams are well-matched and are executing well. They could well be Top 10-caliber. They will challenge PSU--they're better than ISU and LSU.

It appears to me that PSU has better pass reception and better defense than Pitt or Oregon. Course we'll see what happens when PSU plays some stronger teams. Oregon appears to be taller and more powerful than Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh doing a pretty good job of tooling the block but are still getting blocked a fair bit.

Oregon's got a pretty tall front line. MB are 6'2" and 6'4". OH's are 6'2", 6'2" and 5'11". Setter is 5'10".

Pretty much all the top teams will have taller outside (OH and RS) hitters than PSU. They just have to hit smarter and not try to hit hard all the time.
