BYU men's volleyball: Ben Patch, Cougars eager for rematch with Long Beach in NCAA semis

"It was a very interesting weekend. I don't want to make excuses, but I wasn't feeling well. I took some medication I probably shouldn't have taken. But yeah, it was just not the best weekend, but it was all up from there," said the normally lighthearted and playful Patch, turning serious. "We will see Long Beach again."

And the spotlight will again be on BYU's best player, a .389 hitter who clearly feels like he has a score to settle with The Beach, as the No. 4 seed likes to call itself.

"It gives us confidence [that LBSU crushed the Cougars in January]," Patch continued.
