[Mo Horn 8832]

Winner. Good job ladies. 

[perfectchaos007 6632]

Texas wins! Hell yeah ladies

[Dahobbs 17533]

Boom. 

[Js1 85310]

Texas wins in 4! (Wonder who called that)

Another tournament matchup with Corn tomorrow 

[TwiceHorn 31448]

Well, js1, you called it.  Thought for a sec there you jinxed it.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

That was a bit more uncomfortable than anticipated.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Easy match, never a doubt. 

[perfectchaos007 6632]

Is Lexi Sun still at corn?

[Js1 85310]

Elite 8 for the 14th time in the last 15 years! 

First NCAA tourney win over PSU

Yep. We will see Lexi tomorrow

So this invites the question, why the looong delay between selection and first rounds, generous delay between second and third rounds, and what's the hurry now?

great question. If this match airs while I'm at work I'll be pissed. No reason for that

The long delay was to get everyone to Omaha, tested and bubbled. 

Then back to back rounds, day off, back to back rounds. Will be 2 days off, then Final Four. Day off. Champ game.  Think part of it was timing to get the champ game on a Saturday night.

Looks like Wisconsin and Gata/tOSU is the 5:30 match and Pitt/Washington is 11am. I think we will be prime time 8pm matchup. 

Kentucky/WKy and Purdue/Oregon winner will likely get the afternoon 2:30 slot

#4 v #5 should be the most competitive of the matches tomorrow. And both teams playing are bluebloods + former rivals. Primetime makes sense for this match

[perfectchaos007 6632]

Just saw those highlights of corn v. Baylor. Weird seeing Lexi Sun with jet black hair, but she's playing well this tournament. Hopefully we'll be able to cool her off

Hopefully Stivrins, their middle blocker, is still out. She didn’t play today.

Would be a crime if we aren’t prime time 

4 v 5

Big names 

Former rivals 

Lexi Sun v Logan Eggleston

The hometown team 

[TwiceHorn 31448]

Since we're exorcising demons this year, let's go ahead and dispense with Corn, please.

Take the first set please.

[Machinator 32099]

Brutal.

 

[Js1 85310]

Wow we got the afternoon match?!?

[Guest Lobo]

Wow, 1:00p on ESPNU for the powerhouse matchup of the Elite 8.  Okay.  

I guess I need to sort out a late liquid lunch tomorrow for work.  

[Js1 85310]

I guess ESPN and the NCAA hates eyeballs 

[perfectchaos007 6632]

well fuck. I should be able to stream some of the match during lunch tomorrow but not all of it

[TwiceHorn 31448]

Dammitall.

[Js1 85310]

I hate Louisville for knocking us out in 2019 at home, but damn they blew an 11-5 fifth set lead and lost 15-13.  Reminds me of when we did that to... BYU I think?

Tomorrow I think I’ll have some more COVID vaccine fatigue and just need a sick day.....

[Knoxtnhorn 5974]

Sorry.  I know this is an annoying question for the true TX followers on here, but what happened with Sun?  I see that she was at TX as a frosh.

Depends on who you ask, but bottom line is she wasn't happy at Texas for whatever reason and decided to move on

Was unhappy. Transferred to Nebraska. Was a lot of “homesick” comments to justify leaving but didn’t even go back to the west coast. She has a well known volleyball helicopter dad

One of the longest threads on volleytalk for a long time. "We just want Lexi Sun to be happy."  I think it became a bannable offense to bring it up again.  Kinda lulzy.

Again depends on who you talked to. One theory I heard was that her dad was unhappy about how many distractions there were in Austin.

I do remember that

Butler is the only one on the roster who ever played with Lexi, I believe

Yea. Mo Bamba was the distraction 

[maninblack 7974]

Fuck Nebraska

[Js1 85310]

One match to go

1 Wisconsin

2 Kentucky or Western Kentucky 

Pitt

4 Texas 

5 Nebraska 

6 Washington

7 Purdue

8 Florida

 

[perfectchaos007 6632]

Kentucky dominated WKU. The elite 8 is all set.

[TwiceHorn 31448]

Nebraska makes me a mite nervous when we play em.

I suppose PSU should have too, but js1 lulled me a bit.

Edited April 19, 2021 by TwiceHorn

[Js1 85310]

Nebraska won’t be easy. But if we execute offensively like yesterday, we win in 4. If Stivrins plays, maybe it goes 5

[perfectchaos007 6632]

Let’s end Lexi Sun’s career today
