Pitt

RPI Futures has us finishing #3 at 19-5 with the #2 SOS. I think that dog might get a top 4 seed, actually.

I could see it being: Tree, Mormons, Texas, B1G Champ. 
 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I definitely think we get a top 4 seed if we run the table. 

It's going to be Stanford, BYU, Big 10 champ, and either Texas or another Big 10 team.

Oh dang I thought you were joking but they’re 15-0 with some good wins. Can’t remember them making much noise in December of recent years but maybe this is just a really good year/team for them

Yah we better handle business because a 1 or 2 loss Pitt could overtake a 4 or 5 loss Texas

 Also the NCAA selection committee seems to favor newbies oddly enough. Remember they made a point last year to make the #1 seeds completely different than the #1 seeds from 2016. They like new blood

It is not out of the realm of possibility that:

BYU or Stanford is the #1 overall (and the other is the #2 overall)

If 2 B1G teams tie for the title, I could see both getting top 4 (Nebraska/Illinois/Wisky/Minny)

Pitt pushes out a 3-loss Big 12 champ Texas if they win out or only lose 1 match

 

I think, at this point in time, the top 4 spots are going to a be a dogfight between Tree, BYU, Texas, Pitt and 2 B1G teams.  Everyone else is out of the running.

TCU any good this year?

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Seems like TCU is always a bubble team

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Dammit this shitty SEC match is going long 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

TCU has 2 more wins than us. Their coach lets their team play lots of matches 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Always tough playing in this tiny ass gym. Like a HS gym. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

It's on Watch ESPN if you don't want to watch this SEC match on ESPNU. 

[Js1 85085]

Does Logan know how wide the court is? Out out out

[spystud13 2371]

ESPNews now too. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Ball control is pretty good in this first set. 

[Js1 85085]

Micaya the only Horn putting it on the floor inbounds. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Passing has been excellent in this 1st set. Shook is setting well in this 1st set. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Need to do a better job of terminating but this is a really clean set for Texas. We can win playing this way. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

This is the best set I've seen from a passing/ball control perspective this year. 

 

 

[Js1 85085]

Luketic is not terminating at all 

[TwiceHorn 31240]

I guess Yaazie is illin again?

she's never healthy. 

[Js1 85085]

My god. Can’t close it out 

[texasstrong12 4668]

we're trying to choke away this set away. 

[TwiceHorn 31240]

Brionne is way off.  At first it seemed like poor sets, but she's just off.

Not even close. Like she’s jumping too early and having to adjust mid-air. 

 

[texasstrong12 4668]

This set isn't on Shook. She's setting well. OH and MB aren't terminating. 

[TexasDPT 297]

We deserve to lose this set.  They are playing like crap.

[TexasDPT 297]

And of course Autumn cracks under pressure being served at...

Just say everyone but Micaya aren’t terminating. Think I’ve seen 1 by Logan and 1 by Morgan. Everyone else no clue 

[TexasDPT 297]

Brionne and Shook are completely out of sync....

Edited October 4, 2018 by TexasDPT

[texasstrong12 4668]

25-23 set 1 win for Texas. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Man felt like we stole that set, even though we were up by 6 at one point 

[Js1 85085]

Thank you for actually showing up Micaya. It’s been all you. 

[TexasDPT 297]

I hope Yaazie gets better soon.  We need her arm on the right pin.  Katarina ain't cutting it anymore...don't know what happened b/c she was playing so well in the beginning of the season.

Season is a grind. Freshman wall. 

Edited October 4, 2018 by texasstrong12

[Js1 85085]

Plus teams got video on her 

[TexasDPT 297]

Butler hitting in the negatives and Katarina hitting 0....they need to pick it up.

[Js1 85085]

Micaya def going to hit 1000 career kills at this rate 

[Js1 85085]

Both coach took some weird challenges way early.

Other than that shank I saw pretty good backrow D and passing from her. I didn’t notice anything egregious except the shank 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Johnson has been really quiet. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Butler has been terrible so far tonight. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

This has been an odd match. Ball control has been good but we just can't terminate. Complete opposite of how we normally play. 

[Js1 85085]

TCU has magnets in their hands. Digging everything.

Yeah, TCU just knows where the Texas players like to hit at...they are picking up everything.

[texasstrong12 4668]

13-9 TCU in set 2. Timeout Texas. 

[Js1 85085]

If we can’t terminate we’re going to lose. Gotta figure something out.
