VBelo Daily: April 04, 2026
Major matchup Saturday! Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride.
Number of the Day
1 - If there is one thing I care about in this world, it is trying to watch all of the Oscar nominated movies. That’s not important. But if there is one thing related to volleyball that I care about, it might be triple-doubles. They are great and have basically gone extinct. That being said, we were so close yesterday! Tread Rosenthal (Hawaii) finished with 53 assists, 10 digs, and 9 kills. The world was 1 kill shy of witnessing a triple-double! I am very sad that it did not happen and can only hope that we get to see one before the season ends.

There will be turmoil in the polls and many of this is because of the road victory factor. Many teams are winning on the road to keep the conference seed as high as possible while keeping at large also alive. The number of teams involved are many and this will make April magical.
Tread is just starting to dial up his offense, so you have a decent shot at getting your triple double before season's end.
