It was a big weekend for volleyball! MLV finished up their third season, and Dallas Pulse took the title in a win over the Omaha Supernovas. On the NCAA men's side, it was an all-Big West final with Hawai'i taking down UC Irvine in 4.

It might not have been the most exciting volleyball we have seen recently, but we love a final, and there is only one more league left to finish up before international season starts!

UCLA, Hawaii, Long Beach State, and Ball State earned the 1-seeds so they get a first round bye and the luxury of hosting the Regionals matches. Will there be any upsets or will the 1-seeds all make it to the Final Four in LA?

In this episode of Volley Talk, we take a look at the fan-voted (?), league-determined (?) player-inputted (?) MLV All-Star teams. Basically, we have no idea how exactly these teams were chosen, but we have some thoughts.

We also break down some of the longer winning and losing streaks in various leagues. Are they indicative of how the team actually plays or is something weird going on?
