I was an SD skeptic, but after watching both Stanford regionals yesterday, I agree with you on SD over Tree. Stanford’s ball control was lacking and their hitters weren’t as terminal as I thought they needed to be. Plus, the home court advantage may not be as big a factor because it looked a little sparse last night.
-
I can’t believe Shanel Bramschreiber basically doesn’t get any playing time at Wisconsin. I know she was suspended for a lot of the season and they have a really good freshman libero, but still surprising to me.
-
I think it’s an apron with Bevo on it. But it does look like he has nothing else on underneath hahaha
-
Serving errors and serve receive in the third set were just yuckkkk
-
I hope Caffey isn’t hurt (commentators said she was talking to the trainer), and I think she is the better attacker…but I don’t think I am going to panic if we are stuck with Bergmark for the rest of the tournament - she puts up a good block, and I think we can still win it all
-
Idk if it is just the time of day or the new court, but the glare from the windows is annoying
-
It’s weird, I never thought Logan did anything to lose the 6 rotations. I also think she provides strong leadership being on the court the whole match. I originally thought Logan may have a slight injury or something, but I’m still confused why Elliott doesn’t try again.
-
We also had a reverse sweep against Kansas last year in Lawrence when we were all shocked Caroline Bien went unrecruited. Kansas had a pretty weak non-conference SOS, but I definitely see them moving up the rankings throughout the season.
-
I feel like a broken record every season, but I agree that it seems we either can’t evaluate DS talent (or maybe we can’t recruit them idk) IMO, since Sarah Palmer was libero, I can’t think of a Texas DS/libero that I would rank higher than maybe a 6 or 7 on a scale on 1-10 (not including O’Brien). McCoy and Iosia would probably get the highest rank…but you look at other teams like Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska, BYU, pre COVID Stanford, and other non Big 10 teams I am blanking on - and they typically have multiple back-row players on their roster that can consistently out-dig and out-SR us.
-
I kinda wish we could’ve stolen Kansas 6 rotation OH Caroline Bien. She was a pretty big weapon all season for Kansas, and had a pretty decent match against us too. It will be interesting to see if Fields ends up being able to handle 6 rotations, or if she never really gets there (kinda like Lexi).
-
I’m really surprised how often Purdue is getting beat on block after playing in the Big-10. But I can still see them pulling off an upset if they have any gas left after their last two 5 set wins.
-
I kinda like Pitts 5-2 - they have one setter that plays all the way around (setting in the back and hitting in the front), and the other setter only sets in the back. Interesting option since they always have 3 hitters, but the front row setter can step in to set. IIRC, Penn State had a pretty successful system like this somewhat recently.
-
Wow Stivrins Slide did lose a bunch of weight after her surgery - you can definitely tell in her face. I hope feels better after her surgery.
-
She was benched in the middle of the season - but I think she made her way back into the lineup. Idk how much playing time she gets though
-
Dang, knew she hadn’t played much recently but I thought she was better after playing the full match against Kentucky
-
Also, slightly off topic - but does anyone else think Washington coach Keegan Cook and Stanford coach Kevin Hambly look similar, especially from behind? I wasn’t paying too close attention to him, and for two seconds I thought Hambly had taken a new job
-
🧹SWEEEEEEEEP*🧹 *just in reverse…after raising everyone’s blood pressure
-
Kansas upset Creighton - go Big 12!
-
I feel like Eggleston, Para (mostly), Syd, and Iosia have shown positive back row improvement for the most part. I’m more optimistic about the ability to develop back row SR and defense than I have been in awhile. It’s definitely not perfect, and I still think we could recruit better…but not terrible
-
That finger looks like rubber on slow mo - I think there was a touch, but who knows
-
I don’t watch Rice outside of their matches against us, but she has always played well and sets really nice quick sets. But her form is so odd to me - she gets her feet behind most balls, but it’s almost like she sets only using her wrists
-
Did he just say this was the 3rd largest crowd in history? If so - did they recently add seats, increase ticket numbers, or something else. Because that seems like an odd record breaking crowd considering how many other “high profile” matches have been played in Gregory.
-
Also, our ball control is horrendous
-
I know they are Baylor announcers, but they are very annoying tonight
-
Was this the first match that Iosia brought the jump serve back? I think this was the most consistent and effective serving she has had as a Longhorn. Tonight, Baylor’s serve receive broke down during important points, but IMO Baylor is missing a well rounded offense - When they beat us in 2019, their middles and right sides were solid weapons that played well against us - Van der Mark was pretty quiet tonight.
