Number of the Day
506 - UCLA and USC gave us all we could have hoped for and more. Dillion Klein (USC) went off for 25 kills, his third straight match with 20+ kills. But when the match came down to it, UCLA refused to lose. The Bruins hit .583 in the final set while keeping USC to just .077. This is a difference of .506 between the two hitting percentages. This is a huge gap! Who is best positioned to pull off an upset of undefeated UCLA? I’m not sure at this point.
