After seeing the bracket what are your thoughts on how far we can go?

Gosh, who knows. We are playing in Gregory for the first 2 rounds, so Sweet 16 at a minimum. I don’t know shit about fuck for Tennessee. If I had to guess, we run into a wall against Stanford in the Elite 8

Texas v. aggy 1st round is nuts. I guess even TXST is ranked ahead of them.

Very surprising. Texas State didn’t win the Sun Belt tournament. 9 spots below aggy in RPI. 

They deserved to be in, but they look more like a 4 than aggy. It should be Texas/Texas State and aggy/SMU.

We all know why they matched up Texas and aggy in the 1st round. 

[Js1 85744]

General consensus seems to be we got an easy path to the Elite 8 -

aggy barely in and has been playing like garbage to end the season

we will have a decided talent advantage over SMU/Texas State

Tenn plays up and down and was swept by a USCe team to end the season that had nothing to play for 

Stanford is Stanford but in terms of environments for the 1 seed home gyms, Maples is probably the best to get. It’s not even a fraction as raucous as Nebraska or Wisconsin. USD won the Stanford regional last year at Maples 

[Js1 85744]

The big questions though will be ball control, passing and Jenna. I understand Bella had a lingering injury which is why she did not play much during the Tech match (3 sets, 1 attack attempt). She started for senior day and then sat 

[perfectchaos007 6713]

Tree whipped us at Gregory a couple months ago. They may just be a bad matchup for our squad. Raucous crowd or not I don’t like our chances

That was pretty early in the season. O’Neal was coming back from her injury, Madi was coming off COVID (we weren’t even sure if she was going to play that match) and our passing and defense were still suspect trying to figure out roles in the back court. 

Don’t think we get swept this time, but fully depends on defense and Jenna being able to produce

Last night’s RPI. Not this morning’s I guess. Makes more sense now if the committee got a peek a day early  

[Js1 85744]

No surprise - Madi Skinner is your Big 12 POY. 

Camryn Turner (KU) Setter of the Year
Kate Georgiades (UH) Libero of the Year
Naylei Gonzales (ISU) Freshman of the Year
Ray Bechard (KU) Coach of the Year

O'Neal and Skinner 1st Team All Big 12 (so was Parra)
Swindle was on the All Freshman Team (unanimous)

The real season starts today. Journey to Tampa - let’s go 

[Js1 85744]

Western Michigan up 2-0 on 7 seeded Auburn (playing in Louisville, KY)

Baylor up 1-0 on 7 seeded JMU (playing in Lexington, KY)

Edited November 30, 2023 by Js1

[Jive Turkey 12722]

Baylor is about to be up 2-0.

good for Western Michigan. 30-2 record and totally disrespected by being unseeded.  they're gonna sweep Auburn.

i like this ESPN+ Fifth Set stream.

I completely forgot about the 5th Set stream.  

Baylor is now up 2-0

[Js1 85744]

Good for Western Michigan.  I have a hunch the SEC is overrated this year. 

Pablo had WM/Auburn 50/50 and Baylor a big favorite over JMU.

SMU wins set 1 over TXST 25-20.

[Js1 85744]

USA tied 1-1 with 5 seed Georgia Tech

[Js1 85744]

Baylor sweeps JMU

[Jive Turkey 12722]

Louisville better be careful. WMU has nothing to lose and they can play.  just sayin'.

and Baylor with the sweep.  two 7 seeds just got swept.

[WBT 20735]

Yale took the 2nd set over Penn St and up 7-0 to start the 3rd 👀

[Js1 85744]

SMU advances. Texas up next 

[Js1 85744]

Skinner is a little off. And Jenna sucks again

7-7

[Js1 85744]

10-7 aggy. Get your shit together, Texas! 

[Js1 85744]

Uhhhh this is terrible. Get Jenna out of there

We seem to have just not shown up

17-8 aggy 

[WBT 20735]

Skinner also sucking

[TwiceHorn 31678]

JFC.

[LTtxfan 49404]

Struggling...  🙄

[Js1 85744]

14-2 aggy run. This just smells like one of those sets we don’t show up. 

[Jive Turkey 12722]

[perfectchaos007 6713]

Slow starts by Texas has been the year long theme. Of course it will continue in the post season 

[WBT 20735]

Seems like we flipped the switch

[Js1 85744]

16 for aggy - woof

This feels like we haven’t changed much since Jamie was here. Perfectly scouted
