Because of the altitude and how the ball travels in the thinner air. Long Beach had to adjust their game at the service line. They lost game two because of their poor serving. Long Beach just did not play a great game three. In game 4 The beach figured it out and really got their block going.

Game 5 was a war of attrition. Neither team hit great, but both teams were digging the ball like crazy. Lots of long rallies.

Long Beach is the best team I've seen BYU okay this year. They are that good. It will be tough for BYU to beat them regardless of where BYU plays them.

The Smith Field House is one of the biggest home court advantages in all of college sports. They were taking about it last night. No one has success in Provo. It's crazy how tough BYU is at home. Opponent records here are just awful.
