2023 Texas Volleyball - Back to Back!

[sunset87 240]

Hitting .176 yikes!

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Hey, do that set more often. 

[MirrOlure 14760]

We’ve never lost to Baylor at home. We are on the verge of being swept 

[sunset87 240]

Much better defense.

That was domination

Coach Chick with short hair for Baylor looks familiar 

[sunset87 240]

Baylor OH going cross court most of the time and Texas’s block has finally figured it out.

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Shit’s a lot easier if we don’t wait 1 or 2 sets to do this. 

[Js1 85286]

Dominated them again. Going 5

[kingkoopa6 8347]

LFG

[TwiceHorn 31440]

My word.

[gsoda3 3247]

Jekyll and Hyde. See if Baylor adjusts.

[MirrOlure 14760]

No fucking way they can overturn that

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Why y’all always hating on my #13?! 

[MirrOlure 14760]

Good God this shit is stressful!

She crushed that

[sunset87 240]

What is it with the slow starts with this team. Wenaas goes 10 ft line!

 

[MirrOlure 14760]

Why y’all always hating on my #13?! 

What an incredible last set and a half

[MirrOlure 14760]

But that was not a good return. Ugh

[sunset87 240]

#13 for Baylor looks like she should have a hook in her mouth.

[Js1 85286]

I don’t love that rotation with Molly and Wenaas in the front row. Both have issues taking out the trash out of system. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Never a doubt, ladies. 

[Js1 85286]

Love a good reverse sweep. No losing to Baylor tonight
Round 2 tomorrow night 

[sunset87 240]

Reverse sweep!

[kingkoopa6 8347]

That was cool 

[MirrOlure 14760]

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

If Texas could just figure out how to get the Wenas in sets 3-5 and not sets 1-2 every match, they would be capable of beating anybody.

She’s the wildcard.

I guess there's simply nothing we can do about these slow starts that plague us. As long as we keep winning, I guess there's nothing to fix? I keep saying its going to bite us eventually, but it hasn't yet. Suppose I'm the idiot

I’m not sure we can “fix” it. It seems to be that Wenaas’ brain doesn’t start the match on time. Until that’s figured out, we are going to be one pin short every match until she wakes up.  Maybe we can tell Jenna the match starts an hour earlier 

I think she presses too when we end up in that rotation with her and Molly on the pins and Skinner in the backrow. They know she’s the #1 option OOS and that’s the rotation she struggles with and gets blocked the most 

But when she wakes up, she’s good. Texas career high in kills last night

Wenaas - 20 kills, 5 errors, .263

Skinner - 22 Kills, 7 errors, .263

Our defense on the second night of these back to backs is insane 

OU1: 3-0, UT: 0.343, OU: 0.241

OU2: 3-0, UT: 0.338, OU: 0.090

 

BYU1: 3-1, UT: 0.227, BYU: 0.185

BYU2: 3-1, UT: 0.199, BYU: 0.153

 

Kansas1: 3-1, UT: 0.283, KU: 0.236

Kansas2: 3-0, UT: 0.317, KU: 0.120

 

Houston1: 3-1, UT: 0.322, UH: 0.234

Houston2: 3-0, UT: 0.296, UH: 0.092

Texas started turning it around in the 2nd set. It woulda never been 5 if not for one of the most BS carry calls I've ever seen. I've seen hundreds of carries worse than that not called. Otherwise, Texas takes the 2nd set and wins in 4.

Someone said Elliot got 4 yellow cards and Hunt got 1.   Neither ended up with a red card (which is an automatic point for the opposing team, and would not have helped Baylor much in sets 3 and 4), but Elliot was letting the refs have it the whole game.  Especially with that carry call. 

Elliot has not been friendly with the refs this season.  He's been on their asses a lot of the season. 

Overall, it was a weird match.

• Sets 1, 3 and 4 saw no ties or lead changes.  Baylor led the entire first set and Texas led the entire 3rd and 4th sets.  The 5th set only had 2 ties and 1 lead change
• Don't often see the winning team +27 in set scores and needing to go 5.  But that's what happened when our 3 winning sets were +14, +14, +5 and we lost -4 and -2
• Our middles had 10 kills and our setter had 8 herself.  Swindle had more kills than our MB1

Scariest moment by far was Emma taking a knee/thigh to the head on that short serve.  They let her adjust her ponytail and she kept going, so hopefully it was nothing serious. 

Baylor hit .138 last night.  Considering how we rough up opponent's hitting % on night two, good luck to them tonight!

Would love to see B12 refs get what they they deserve.

[Js1 85286]

First set woes. Started fast at 4-0 and now it’s 11-8 Baylor 

[Js1 85286]

Service receive fucking sucks again 

14-10 Baylor

We are getting stuck in that rotation with Molly and Jenna on the pins and neither can terminate the ball

Yeah that last point service receive looked like middle school.

Yuck

[LTtxfan 49144]

Need to score 3 or 4 in a row soon...

[smoky 840]

Wtf, that challenge?

[Js1 85286]

Idk what Baylor challenged, but they won it. Didn’t look like anything 

I guess Jenna touched the net at some point?

19-18 Baylor. Here comes Texas 

[Js1 85286]

What the fuck are you challenging, JE?

[LTtxfan 49144]

Damn... get your serve in Texas

23-20 bears

[Js1 85286]

24-20 Baylor. About to drop the first set yet again by a similar score as yesterday. Another Wenaas slow start and some really meh serve receive 

[Js1 85286]

24-22 Baylor 

[Js1 85286]

Not so fast. 24-24

[LTtxfan 49144]
