Lol the entire bottom of the net moved. Obvious violation

Calling them a “one-loss team” who lost in four on the road to another top 10 team is acting like they suck and giving us a hard time at their home is an odd choice.

Minny is a quality program, every year, and again, lost in 4 on the road. This is a good challenge for us 

Didn't realize Baylor was that highly ranked.

Still have Pressley and one of national championship Skinners transferred in from Kentucky

Didn't know that about the Skinner.  I knew they were top 20, but shit.  Hmmm.  I haven't been paying adequate attention this off-season.

[texfan11 90]

That looked like a touch to me

[Hornsbay22 470]

They should run a 6-2 with Iosia and Gabriel as the setters lol

[Js1 85583]

Omg, Molly stuffed trying to bang an overpass 🥴

Yeah, that was sad.  

[TwiceHorn 31538]

Well poop.

[Js1 85583]

Playing 4

[TwiceHorn 31538]

Their first hits are just pretty damn good.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

9-9

Tight set so far 

[TexasDPT 297]

Love Molly's shot selection...just wish she could hit with more power.

[TwiceHorn 31538]

That was one of the most fubar rallies I've seen in a long time.

Who got the point?

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Minny won the crazy point after review. Our set hit the antenna

Ball hit the antennae first before hitting MN player...so MN

[perfectchaos007 6677]

20-20. I really don't want this to come down to a 15 point 5th

[TwiceHorn 31538]

Two point lead, can we extend?

[TwiceHorn 31538]

Even with those smoking Parra serves, bang, two feet from the net.

[OU Sucks 8916]

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Wooooo! 

Very impressive road win over a top 10 team

[Js1 85583]

That’ll look good on the RPI and resume all year long 

[TexasDPT 297]

Glad for the win, but passing, setting, and serving need to improve.

Stanford (3-0) beat #5 Florida yesterday so it won't get any easier for us on Sunday. At least we'll play that match at Gregory

[LTtxfan 49358]

 

 

[Js1 85583]

Early on in the match, Salima (and the other commentator who stupidly said USD was unranked) mentioned it being Eggleston's senior year and Elliot was very quick to remind them that she has this season + next season. 

I wouldn't be so quick to write her off as gone after this year.   Yes, she's a fourth year player, but 2020 didn't count, so she's still a junior athletically, and could just stick around and work on a Master's. 

[Js1 85583]

Baylor now 1-3 after beating Minny and losing 3 straight to Wisky, Tenn and Pitt.  Next three are: Gata x2 and Rice.  Ouch 

[sunset87 250]

Struggling in the first with tree…can’t pass. Surprise!

[sunset87 250]

Tree has a good setter. Our middles are confused and consistently late on the block.

[texfan11 90]

It’s weird that I only recognize maybe one Stanford player - such a young team, but that worked out well for them with the young teams with Plummer, Fitzmorris, Gray, Hentz, Alade, etc 

But we need to pass better in serve receive *pretends to be shocked*

[Js1 85583]

25-22 Texas. 1-0!

[perfectchaos007 6677]

passing improved just enough towards the end of the set for us to take the 1st set

[WBT 20670]

Great fight to come back and win that set

[TwiceHorn 31538]

Another solid comeback.  That's nice to see against high-level competition.

[sunset87 250]

Nice finish!

Furd may be returning some serves that are out.  Regardless, one of our best serving performances evar.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

3rd set is being closed out with horrible passing. It just may cost  us

[Js1 85583]

Texas sweeps Tree! First win over them since….2013?

[SATXHorn 90]

Once our serve zeroed in on Baird, she wilted. Hambly didn’t sub and left her in the bad row. It was pretty much over then (except for the mental lapse at the end of the 3rd.) I guess he figured give her the experience in a tough match in “preseason”, or his alternatives were worse.

Still, a nice win! Always good to beat Tree.

Confirmed: Asjia is an alien.

Holy shit.

Texas now holds 55 of the 64 first place votes.  Looks like we picked up all 7 of Kentucky's last week, plus took 6 from Wisconsin, who only got 9 this week. 

Texas
Wisky
Nebraska
Ohio State/Pitt

Minny (13) and Baylor (17) are the only teams ranked with 3 losses (both 1-3), because of the quality of their losses (Minny has losses to #17 Baylor, #7 Florida and #1 Texas and Baylor has losses to #2 Wisconsin, #23 Tenn and #4 Pitt).  Stanford moved up to 14.  SD is hanging on a 25.

Rice and West Virginia are RV. 

[Js1 85583]

25-18 Texas over Texas State set 1. 1-0

Huge rally ended with what looked like a Texas State net on a Iosia miracle dig. Texas State tried to slam down the overpass and touched the net 

[Js1 85583]

25-13 Texas. 2-0 

Cabello getting run at setter.
