VBelo Daily: January 12, 2026
After a wild weekend, it's nice to have a little breather of only 1 match today.
Number of the Day
11 - UCLA has been dominant, historically and recently. There is no doubt about that. But, they have a bad reputation for their serving. Sure, they serve tough, but the down side is the ridiculous amount of service errors they accumulate. Yesterday was different though! UCLA had 11 service errors which is very reasonable, but they also had 12 aces. Yes, more aces than errors! If this is anything close to a trend for this year, every team should be terrified.
